Something about electricity - those who pay for a room are entitled to the electricity in the room. On the other hand, if you sleep in camping, you do not deserve electricity. Sorry, we know that you really want electricity, but it just does not suit us. Please do not connect electricity cable to rooms or electrical cabinets, because then we will take your cables and we do not like to do that.

Around the ashram there is a large amount of bathrooms and showers with hot water.

Please save water. Still, we are in the heart of the desert.
