Introduction
Welcome to NDP Foundation, a sanctuary for seekers dedicated to the timeless truth of Oneness. Rooted in the wisdom of Sri Ashish and the Three-Fold Path, this space is a guide to Self-realization, stillness, and profound inner transformation.
The world we see is ever-changing, yet beneath the waves of thoughts, identities, and experiences lies a silent, unshaken awareness—our true nature. Through Right Understanding - Knowing the Truth, Right Practice - Remembering the Truth, and Right Experience - Being the truth, we invite you to rediscover the peace and joy that have always been within.
This journey is not about attaining something new, but about remembering what has never been lost. Step into the stillness, embrace awareness, and walk the path of self-inquiry, silent meditative abidance, and devotion.

About Sri Ashish
Sri Ashish is a contemporary teacher of Advaita Bhakti (non-dual devotion – oneness in everything and oneness of everything) — a path where silence meets love, and truth reveals itself through simplicity. Rooted in timeless awareness, his guidance blends the clarity of Advaita with the softness of the heart. Through the Three-Fold Path — Right Understanding, Right Practice, and Right Experience — he invites seekers to rediscover who they truly are: boundless, changeless, already whole.
With no tradition to follow and nothing to attain, Sri Ashish points inward — to the space beyond striving. His teachings are not systems to adopt, but mirrors to see oneself clearly. Whether through satsangs, writings, or quiet presence, he offers a single invitation: to be still, to inquire, and to return to the peace that never left.
The Three-Fold Path
At the heart of Sri Ashish’s teachings lies the Three-Fold Path — a simple yet profound invitation to return to what you truly are. It is not a method to follow, but a mirror to see clearly. Through Right Understanding, Right Practice, and Right Experience, the seeker is gently guided from mental restlessness to inner stillness, from seeking to seeing, from identity to awareness.
Right Understanding - Knowing the Truth
Begin with inquiry. Who is the one that thinks, strives, and seeks? Right Understanding is the quiet turning inward — to discern the unreal from the real, to see through the illusion of separateness, and to realize that the Self is not found in becoming, but in being.
Right Practice - Remembering the Truth
Abide in awareness. Through silence, devotion, surrender, and conscious awareness in daily life, the seeker learns to rest — not to escape the world, but to meet it from stillness. Right Practice is the grounding of truth into living — breath by breath, moment by moment.
Right Experience - Being the Truth
Go beyond the seeker. Right Experience is not something to gain — it is what remains when the seeking ends. It is the effortless recognition of the ever-present Self — free, peaceful, and untouched. Here, joy arises without cause. And life becomes a silent unfolding.

Testimonials
“As the first follower of Sri Ashish and author of I AM Ashish to I AM, I have witnessed the unfolding of these teachings from their very origin — not as philosophy, but as lived truth. This retreat reaffirmed the essence of Right Understanding: that we are not the doers, nor the recipients of outcomes. We are simply playing roles in a fleeting dream of experience. In the stillness of this retreat, the teaching became direct and luminous. When remembered, Right Understanding dissolves all inner confusion and restores us to peace. Sri Ashish transmits this non-dual wisdom not as concept, but as presence — clear, bold, and rooted in silence.”
“This retreat brought me back to something I had known within — but had lost sight of. The answer to a question I carried into the retreat came with a sense of quiet reassurance. I was reminded to let go… to return to the path of the heart. Right Understanding stood out most for me — as the essential starting point without which the rest cannot unfold. I’m taking back the I AM Kriya practice and a deep sense of connection with others on the journey. The silence and digital detox offered a powerful reset. It felt like a gentle but clear invitation to remember what truly matters.”
“This retreat was an awakening — a gentle shift that brought clarity to who I am and how I wish to live. I felt calm and still throughout, and for the first time, I truly understood the depth of Right Understanding. I now see life’s events not as personal burdens, but as parts of a greater script in which I am simply playing my role. What I carry with me is a commitment to respond with calm, live with awareness, and stay anchored in the present. The guided meditations, shared reflections, and silent nature walks all supported this inner turning. It was truly a beautiful experience.”
“This retreat created a calm and positive environment where I truly felt relaxed and centered. It gave me space to reflect and understand myself more deeply — and with that, a renewed sense of meaning and purpose in life. The part of the Three-Fold Path that touched me most was Right Understanding. It felt like the foundation — once you understand rightly, right practice and experience follow naturally. I’m leaving with a stronger commitment to remain calm, observe clearly, and carry that inner stillness into daily life.”
“To be in silence… to listen, to feel, to simply be — this retreat offered me the space to pause and reconnect. Every part of the Three-Fold Path resonated deeply; they felt like one unified movement of truth. What I carry home is the intention to breathe deeper, pause more often, and embrace silence as a way of being. Stepping away from the familiar gave me perspective. This retreat offered so many simple, profound takeaways I can integrate into daily life. Thank you.”
“The most meaningful part of this retreat was the experience of silence — a stillness that opened space within me for self-knowing and deeper reflection. The Three-Fold Path felt like a profound compass for living, full of practical wisdom and clarity. I’m taking back with me the commitment to practice silence, to stay anchored in ‘I AM,’ and to continue exploring this non-dual understanding. The retreat created a space of total freedom — where thoughts could be expressed without judgment and inner transformation felt possible. I feel inspired to support these teachings in every way I can, including integrating a philanthropic offering into my work.”
NDP Publications: A Living Library of Wisdom
Rooted in the principles of clarity, stillness, and shared service, NDP Publications is a living expression of the teachings — a sacred endeavor to preserve, deepen, and transmit the path of inner awareness through the written and spoken word. Each publication is crafted as a quiet companion on the journey, offering seekers of all ages the opportunity to reflect, inquire, and awaken in their own way.
More than a publishing effort, it is a vision: a Living Library of Wisdom that spans books, booklets, videos, audios, animations, children’s stories, poetry, Q&A, translations, and sacred comparisons — all drawn from the essence of Sri Ashish’s teachings and the Three-Fold Path. These works are offered not merely to inform, but to transform — cultivating direct experience through words that point beyond words.
Like the Ashram, this too is a sanctuary — not of place, but of pages. A home for truth-seekers across the world, accessible in every home, school, and heart. Built by many hands, guided by spiritual integrity, and sustained through community support, NDP Publications is a timeless offering for generations to come.
NDP Partnerships & Grants:
In Service of Humanity Through Awareness
Rooted in the spirit of inner stillness, right understanding, and collective upliftment, NDP Partnerships & Grants is a living bridge between the teachings of Sri Ashish and the real needs of the world. It is not merely a collaboration of organizations — it is a sacred offering of aligned purpose, where insight becomes action and silence moves into service.
Each partnership, each funded initiative, is an expression of the Three-Fold Path — adapted, not altered; shared, not sold. These solutions are offered as living expressions of awareness: addressing mental health, education, resilience, and conscious living through clarity, compassion, and awareness.
More than a grants program, it is a sacred alliance — one that invites institutions, visionaries, and changemakers to co-create models of transformation anchored in spiritual integrity. Through joint programs, research, outreach, and funding support, we extend the reach of the teachings while protecting their purity.
Like the Ashram and the Library, this too is a sanctuary — not of walls or words, but of shared intention. A place where funding becomes seva, strategy becomes surrender, and progress is measured in peace.
Self-Sustaining Ashram
Community Overview

It will be a sanctuary for contemplation, transformation, and conscious living, where the rhythm of daily life becomes a practice in itself.
More than a place, it will be a vision: eco-conscious living powered by renewable energy, sustained through organic farming and seva, and guided by the wisdom of the Three-Fold Path. Whether through short retreats or long-term residency, all who come are invited not to escape the world, but to live more truthfully within it. Built by many hands and held in stillness, the Ashram will be a home for the soul — and a gift for generations to come.
