Kathmandu Meditation School & Retreat

Situated on the lap of the mighty and magnificent Himalayas and surrounded on all sides by verdant mountains, the Kathmandu Valley has throughout its history been home to saints and sages with the highest quality of consciousness. According to legend, the Kathmandu Valley was the hermitage of contemplative ascetics such as Vyasa, the writer of the Vedas; the great Buddhist monks Nagarjuna and Padma Shambhava attained enlightenment here; and Gorakhnath, the father of Hatha Yoga, meditated here for twelve years. Thousands of other unknown sages and seers have practiced deep contemplation, composed important spiritual scriptures, and invented powerful yogic practices. Many Tantric and Yogic traditions and systems of meditation originated here and later spread to other parts of the world.
