Stay & Retreats at Vasanta Vihar
“It is essential sometimes to go into retreat, to stop everything that you have been doing, to stop your experiences completely and look at them anew, not keep on repeating them like machines. You would then let fresh air into your mind. Wouldn’t you? This place must be of great beauty with trees, birds, and quietness, for beauty is truth and truth is goodness and love.”
– J. Krishnamurti
Stay on Vasanta Vihar Campus
Vasanta Vihar, part of Krishnamurti Trust Madras (headquarters of the Krishnamurti Foundation India), exists for the sole purpose of enabling people to stay here to study Krishnamurti’s Teachings by using the library (The Study), or taking part in retreats and dialogues, or engaging in informal conversations or quiet reflection.
Weekend Residential Retreats
This two-day programme conducted in the last weekend of the month consists of formal dialogues around a theme, informal conversations, video-screenings of Krishnamurti’s talks and discussions, time for study, reflection, and silence.
Participants are welcome to stay a few days more, either before or after the retreat, if they so wish. The number of participants is limited.

Have a Question on Living, Ask Here→
The Awakening of Intelligence App brings Krishnamurti’s teachings to your daily life — with multiple formats, easy search, and over 60 years of teachings.
The Pathless→
Krishnamurti’s teachings encompass the whole of human existence, and in his talks and writings and discussions, he touches upon every aspect of it, going from the particular to the general, from the superficial to the sublime. It is not possible to put his teachings in a nutshell, as many would want it. Nor is it possible to isolate one talk or book by Krishnamurti as containing the essence of his teachings. One can only point out to another some basic books or videos as a starting point. It is in this spirit that KFI has brought out a new publication:
Teachings of Life—Pocket Edition.
