Mysore - places to stay

An email I received 9/19/2010. For students who are interested in visiting Mysore.

Dear Yoga Teacher:

Pranams.

My name is Ramraj Lakshmanan. I am a resident of Mysore.

I work in an MNC and travelled round the world with my family. In many places we found the money we spent did not add any value, especially by many of the hotels and also B&Bs, Inns, Vacation Rentals. Of course there were quite a lot of places where we stayed offered many learnings. From these experiences we developed a passion to run a decent and clean vacation rentals in Mysore. But the objective was not to be greedy and make money but offer the best possible service to the guests. In that process earn a decent return.

In our above endeavours we converted two of our properties in Mysore as vacation rentals. I am a bit choosy and can not let the properties to everyone. The basic idea is to invite like minded guests who are peace and fun loving, more inclined towards wellness and goodness.

Mysore is gaining popularity in terms of Yoga apart from its traditional tourist attractions depicting its rich culture and heritage. The two properties are ideally situated to cater to the needs of these two different segments of visitors to Mysore.

Out of the two properties I have one is in the midst of Yoga Centres in Mysore in Gokulam where the famous Ashtanga Yoga Centre is situated. It is a 3 BHK brand new apartment fully furnished, clean, neat and tidy. It has a reasonably equipped kitchen, washing machine, fridge, toaster, microwave oven, internet etc. Many aspiring Yoga Teachers and Students stay in and around this place. The address is:

Apartment No. 201, Renaissance Sugama,
2711/1, 2nd Main, V V Mohalla,
(Behind Nirmala Convent – Gokulam Main Road)
Mysore 570002.

Another property is an architecturally designed villa near Lalitha Mahal Palace. It is a 4 bed room duplex villa. Though 8 Kms away from Gokulam many Yoga aspirants prefer to stay here also considering its spacious and independent environment. Here also there is reasonably equipped kitchen, washing maching, fridge, toaster, microwave oven, internet etc., available. This has a small library of many books on spirituality including Yoga. The address is:

“NIMISHA”, 517, 8th Cross
Vinaya Marga
Siddartha Layout
Mysore 570011.

I can look into special rates for long stay.

I have my website and I request you to please visit.

Not but not the least, being a devotee of Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda and Holi Mother Shri Sharada Devi – whenever I am in Mysore I take the guests to many unexplored spiritual places that will add value to the Yoga Practice. This as a service I do.

In case you happened to visit Mysore or any of your friends visit Mysore I request you to spread this information. I am sure I will be able to provide the required ambiance for practising Yoga.

With best regards.

Ramraj.
