Welcome to our web-home!

We are a Gandhian Ashram based at Candidasa (pronounced chun-dee-does-ah, indeed the old spelling was Tjandidasa), Bali, Indonesia and we have been around since 1976 when the Ashram was founded by the late Ibu or Mrs. Gedong Bagoes Oka (1921 - 2002).

Although often still referred to by our original name of Ashram Gandhi Çanti Dasa (pronounced Shantih Dasa meaning Servant of Peace - a play of words of the village name , Candidasa), Ibu's name was inserted in her honour after her passing (as well as to distinguish from the proliferation of 'ashrams' that Bali is experiencing) to have Gedong Gandhi Ashram, Candidasa.

We are delighted to welcome you to our web-home. However to get the most out of the visit to this AshramGandhi.com web-home, which provides the more static information about the Ashram, it must be read in conjunction with the AshramGandhi Blog which provides the information that is more dynamic and interactive in nature. Both sites should provide you with practically most of the things you are likely ever to need, short of visiting the Ashram, the actual home, at Candidasa, Bali. Thank you for visiting our sites and please feel free to contact us for more info, make a booking, or simply to get involved in some ways.

 Our vision

Can be stated simply - to translate Gandhian ideals of living into action and to promote a life of simplicity (which also implies sustainability and care for our environment), self-sufficiency and service to the community. Thus while ahimsa (nonviolence), satya (truth) and karuna (compassion and, by extension, universal brotherhood) are its guiding principles, in practice it is swadeshi (self-sufficiency) that shapes the Ashram's economic and productive activities.
