HISTORY
We are men religious of the Order of Discalced Carmelites (OCD) of Karnataka Goa province comprising of four States of the Western India namely Karnataka, Goa, Maharastra and Gujarat. Ryshivana, a centre for inner silence and contemplation was inaugurated in 2006. Since prayer and contemplation is the charism of the Discalced Carmelites whose founders, St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross, were the mystic giants, the KG province undertook the task of setting up a centre which would promote deep solitude and contemplation for those who look for it.
