Siddhayatan: a Spiritual Retreat Center
The Siddhayatan Spiritual Retreat is an extraordinary place of healing, peaceful and spiritual vibrations. Siddhayatan is especially unique as it is the only retreat in North America with the residence of a living enlightened spiritual master - Acharya Shree Yogeesh.
Siddhayatan Spiritual Retreat offers the teachings of Acharya Shree, meditation, new style of Purnam Yoga, healing, and healthy living retreats and programs that will benefit all who visit and participate.
Seated on 125 acres of beautiful rolling hills, Siddhayatan provides that special environment which will bring peace and calmness to the individual, freeing them from their stress filled lifestyle.
Siddhayatan retreat packages include accommodations, vegetarian meals, the opportunity to receive free individual spiritual guidance from Acharya Shree Yogeesh, activities and class supplies.
Unlike other spiritual, yoga, and meditation retreat centers, Siddhayatan does not charge for spiritual teachings, but instead funding goes right back into the retreat center to maintain, remodel, and construct new buildings and provide maintenance for gardening and cleaning purposes which only benefits future retreaters.
Whether a retreater is seeking spiritual guidance, deepen their spiritual path, wanting to become healthier, or just intending to get away from a stressful lifestlye, Siddhayatan is a perfect place for you to guide, help, heal, and transform you.

Siddhayatan: A Hindu-Jain Tirth
Siddhayatan is the first Hindu-Jain holy and spiritual pilgrimage site (tirth staan). ever constructed in North America. This Hindu-Jain Tirth contains the miniature version of famous tirthas in India, such as Kailash-Mansarovar,Sammed-Shikhar, Bahubali, Palitana, and Girnarji, etc.
Each miniature tirtha is constructed with some of the original holy soil from these famous tirthas. This special combination will bring the peace and spirituality of India immediately to North America. Future generations will no longer need to travel to India to see the cultural values, ancient art sculptures of yoga and meditation postures, and learn its ancient wisdom, but instead visit Siddhayatan.
Natural places of the Himalayas are also placed in Siddhayatan, like Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri, which will make a person healthy, relaxed, and spiritual.
Siddhayatan's purpose is to help future generations find their roots in ancient Indian wisdom, learn the principle of non-violence, learn meditation and yoga, and lastly learn to be good people in the society.
Siddhayatan's Hindu-Jain Tirth is open and available to everyone. All can learn cultural and philosophical values and spiritual teachings that can transform their life in such a way that they can achieve the highest goal of self-realization. By participating in the approximately 2 hour pilgrimage, by breathing and walking alone, they can heal and detoxify their body. When visiting the holy sites, everyone will feel the peace as if they were in India. Upon completion of the pilgrimage, all are welcome to attend a spiritual lecture by Acharya Shree Yogeesh.
This spiritual pilgrimage is free of charge. All are invited and encouraged to visit Siddhayatan.
Siddhayatan is located near Dallas, Texas.

Sadhvi Siddhali Shree
In a constantly evolving world, there is an innate need to find a safe, peaceful, loving, and spiritual environment that provides an unexplainable source of comfort and protection from all the negativity that exists today. Siddhayatan is a source of peace which equates to the feeling of laying one's head in a mother's lap - a source of unconditional love, calmness, and oneness. Every soul needs to grow spiritually and know what supreme love is, all this can be felt, experienced, and realized at Siddhayatan."

Sadhvi Siddhali Shree is the first disciple of living enlightened master, Acharya Shree Yogeesh. Born Tammy Herbster, she was raised and privately schooled in the Catholic Tradition. At the age of 17 she began her spiritual journey and was eventually introduced to eastern spirituality by several swamis, although no teaching brought her soul true satisfaction. It was not until she met Acharya Shree, that she began to see true spiritual change within herself and experience deep glimpses of Samadhi.
Although spiritually inclined at a young age, Siddhali Shree felt it was her duty to serve in the United States Army. In 2004, after initially meeting Acharya Shree, she voluntarily deployed to Iraq as a Combat Medic. After seeing firsthand the effects of war and violence, Siddhali Shree felt more determined to bring peace to the world. Upon her return from a 16 month deployment, Siddhali Shree completed her Communication B. A. in 2½ years at California State University, Long Beach.
As a Spiritual Teacher, Siddhali Shree's goal is to bring the messages of non-violence, peace, compassion and spirituality to today's world. She believes that the current society is in the grip of materialism, consumerism, violence, sex and drugs promoted by the media and government, and thus lacking in spirituality. Her goals are to encourage children and young adults to learn and incorporate spiritual values into their lives, empower women, and create balance in a male-oriented society.
Siddhali Shree is a custom Sanskrit name, created by Acharya Shree Yogeesh, which means, "shining with the row of liberated souls or God." The name, "Siddhali Shree", has never been used before until now.
Sadhvi Siddhali Shree manages all of Siddhayatan's retreat facilities, programs, newsletters, correspondence, and all websites. Her efforts also include maintaining Acharya Shree's YouTube videos, both pre and post-production.
Sadhvi Siddhali Shree recently published her first book, 31 Day Challenge to a Changed You in December 2009.
