⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Divine Retreat for Body, Mind & Soul Aliyar Arivu Thirukovil – also known as the Temple of Consciousness – is not just a place, it’s an experience. Nestled in serene natural surroundings with lush greenery and fresh air, this sacred space radiates peace and divine energy. The moment you step inside, a deep sense of calm envelops you. The entire campus is extremely well-maintained – neat, clean, and disciplined. The people here are warm, helpful, and live with a beautiful sense of purpose. I stayed in their dormitory accommodation, which was simple yet very comfortable. The rooms are well-ventilated. Common bathrooms are cleaned regularly and maintained with high hygiene standards. I would say cleaner than any personal bathrooms and toilets. The South Indian food served is not only sumptuous m, but also feels like it’s made with love. Nourishing for the body and soul. The campus is WiFi-enabled, with good coverage throughout, and even though only BSNL and Jio work here for mobile networks. There’s a provision shop inside the campus for basic needs, along with a lovely library that covers a wide spectrum of books—from scientific to spiritual, from astronomy to health, biomagnetism, body, mind, and life. They offer structured courses in SKY Yoga, Kayakalpa, and other life-transforming practices. You also get to visit the Guruji’s Samadhi and a museum dedicated to his life—both deeply moving and inspiring. The fruit and flower orchards across the campus add to its natural charm. There is ample parking space available too. This place energizes your body, mind, and soul. A perfect destination for anyone looking for inner peace, clarity, and self-elevation. Highly recommended for seekers, nature lovers, and anyone wanting to pause and reconnect with themselves. Please do note that it's not a tourism & religious place, it's a divine, spiritual, practical and life elevating place. Don't go there if your only purpose is sight seeing or tourism or picnic. Vazhga Valamudan!

The TEMPLE of CONSCIOUSNESS is located at the southeast tip of Aliyar, a few metres before the arch gate & check post where the dam road to Valparai begins. This institute/ashram inter alia imparts training in yoga & meditation and spiritual education. TNSTC buses from Pollachi take us to the ashramam inside. The location of the Centre is very charming, serene, quiet and free from pollution. The healthy atmosphere augments the results that we gain from here.This Centre is one of nearly other 300 centres spread all over the world. The founder of this Centre was a man of extra ordinary abilities. He was a veteran of science, literature, ayurveda, homeo, yoga, meditation and a preacher of world peace & so on. In commemoration and honour of this centenarian Maharishi, Gov. of India released a postal stamp in the year 2010. It is known that the Gov of Tamilnadu has included a light version of his KUNDALINI YOGA in the school curriculum. By the various efforts of our Prime Minister, YOGA has been acclaimed universally and a World Yoga Day/ International Yoga Day (June 21 ) is recorded and celebrated. Due to this reason, this Ashram has gained more momentum so that large number of people are desirous to visit this peaceful abode and study practising of YOGA & MEDITATION and lead a real & blissful and healthy life (both physical & mental health) without tendering any ill-feeling towards any body.

A place that is not marketed, not commercialized, not propagate statue worship or one God worship, has no secrets, has a lot of love and peace. A must visit for everyone to detox for digital life. Airtel/vodafone doesn't work here. Only jio/bsnl works. And if you are coming for first time, try to call and check/reserve for *foundation course* it's wed-sun and worth it. We came first time, 3 friends. We booked foundation course. It was 10500 for 5 days stay+food (wed-sun). The classes are good. Only request is this place is filled with tamizh literature and philosophy. Tamizh ppl will cherish this as most unadulterated , non-corporatized, spiritual stay/course. Non tamizh ppl will find it little difficult to connect with the principles/teachings so caution. Overall the ambience/place is excellent. Foothills, beautiful flora and fauna and fine food for tastebuds.

The Temple of Consciousness, Arivu Thirukovil is one of the fewest places in India where the way to a happy meaningful living and spirituality is truly taught through various courses. There are no gimmicks here, no over iconizing the teachers. The focus is more on knowledge sharing and it happens in silence. Silence is the focal point and there is a deep connection that this place strives for between humans and universal energy. If you are planning to visit here, remember it is not a picnic spot. You are here to learn. Accordingly, plan your trip and come if you really want to learn for a better conscious living. I am glad to have an introduction to this place and will join the five days course soon. Will give updates.
