Ashrama is a spiritual retreat located in the Upper San Antonio Valley in unincorporated Santa Clara County, California, United States. It is approximately 40 miles east of downtown San Jose.
History
The retreat resides on a 160-acre parcel of land near Upper San Antonio Valley Road, about 18 miles southeast of Mount Hamilton. The land was gifted to the Vedanta Society at the turn of the 20th century, as a place for meditation and contemplation.[2] A meditation cabin can still be found there.[3]
