The Ryshivana is located on a very
elevated cliff, off the bank of the great River Nethravati
meeting in triple confluence with River Avinashini at the delta
of Arabian Sea, making a necklace of water to the city of
Mangalore. Ryshivana is surrounded by miles of coconut groves
and water bodies with gushing fresh air directly from the
Arabian Sea; and is adorned by lush green campus, creating a
unique mystical context that easily favors inner silence and
elevation of mind and heart to divine realities. For your silent
