Osho Ashram : A Sanctuary of Meditation, Healing, and Inner Awakening
Meditation is not only a tool for calming the mind, it is a natural process that supports the body’s detoxification mechanisms and promotes holistic inner healing.
Osho Ashram Biratnagar is one of the most peaceful and spiritually vibrant meditation centers in eastern Nepal. Located on the serene bank of the Singhia River in Tinpaini, Biratnagar, the ashram stands as a living example of dedication, devotion, and transformation.
Surrounded by greenery and natural beauty, it offers a space where people can disconnect from stress and reconnect with themselves.
The ashram was founded in 1981 by a group of local seekers from Biratnagar who had traveled to Pune, India, to meet the enlightened mystic Osho. During that time, they received diksha directly from Osho himself.
Deeply touched by his teachings and meditation methods, they returned to Nepal with a strong desire to create a similar meditation space in eastern Nepal.
After searching for a suitable place, they found this quiet land at the bank of Singhia River. With collective effort, local support, and heartfelt contribution, the ashram was gradually constructed.
Over the years, many people from different parts of eastern Nepal came forward to help in building and developing this beautiful spiritual center.
The ashram is located in Tinpaini, making it easily accessible. It is about 500 meters east and north of Tapariya Eye Hospital and near the Hanuman Temple area.
From Hanuman Mandir, one can walk approximately 250 meters upward to reach the ashram. Though it is close to the city, the environment inside feels completely different.

The sound of the flowing river, the fresh air, and the peaceful surroundings create a calm and healing atmosphere.
Osho Ashram Biratnagar follows a complete daily meditation schedule that helps seekers experience both active and silent meditation techniques. The day begins early in the morning with Dynamic Meditation from 6:00 AM to 7:00 AM.
This powerful technique involves breathing, movement, expression, silence, and celebration. It helps release suppressed emotions, reduce stress, and prepare the mind for awareness throughout the day.
After the morning meditation, from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM, there is Work Meditation in the garden. This is a very special and beautiful practice at the ashram.
During this time, residents and visitors participate in gardening activities such as planting, watering, cleaning, and caring for plants. It is not just physical work; it is meditation in action.
Working with soil, touching plants, and feeling the earth creates a deep connection with nature. In silence and awareness, even simple activities become spiritual practice.
The garden is one of the most attractive parts of the ashram, filled with trees, flowers, and greenery. Many people find deep peace while doing work meditation in this natural environment.
In the afternoon from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM, different meditation techniques such as Nadabrahma, Vipassana, or Chakra Meditation are conducted.
Nadabrahma uses humming and hand movements to bring balance and harmony.
Vipassana helps develop deep awareness of breathing and sensations. Chakra Meditation works on balancing the body’s energy centers. These meditations help participants go deeper into silence and self-observation.
