Tubular sky light - energy savings using natural light in the interior rooms

The Ashram’s building project—turning our old barn into a new residence called Goloka—is taking its next step. Traces of the barn are disappearing as electricity, windows, lights and skylights appear. “Skylights make the building more energy efficient,” says Charles Green, resident in charge. “People won’t need to turn on lights during the day.”

Outside, young adults are digging trenches and jack hammering old concrete, transforming an old foundation, an old structure, into the new residence. “I’m really inspired by the young men working there and their level of enthusiasm,” says James Gates, Ashram resident. “There’s lots to do and it’s intense - 'real life yoga,' focusing the mind on what we’re doing. It’s actually very devotional.”

Over $200,000 is still needed for completion of this environmentally sustainable project. If you would like to donate, click here to download a pledge form. Or call the Ashram at 800-661-8711. Help us transform.
