The Benefits of Gurukul Discipline (all applicants)
The disciplines of the gurukul are designed to encourage positive growth in each individual, as well as maintaining the integrity of this unique environment. Each student will be requested to abide by these disciplines during their stay. In the unlikely event that a student is unable to comply with these rules, disciplinary action will be taken by the BYB Administration.

card facilities are not available in Munger. Credit cards can only
be used in Kolkata (Calcutta), Delhi or other major cities, where
money can be received instantly and the service is reliable. However,
once the course has commenced frequent travel to such cities will
not be possible. |

Munger a bank account must be opened to receive any money from abroad.
As bank transfers can take two to four months and encashment of cheques
can take three to six months, such arrangements are not a viable option.
In general you are advised not to rely on bank transfers and encashment
of cheques either for payment of your course fees or for your personal
financial needs while in Munger. It is essential to bring sufficient
cash or travellers cheques for your individual needs. |

Day Leave
Bihar Yoga Bharati courses are intensive and require all students to remain within the ashram during the entire period of the course, withdrawing temporarily from the distractions of daily life. This will enable the yogic atmosphere of the ashram – an environment of harmony, equality and joyful service – to be imbibed.
Once accommodated within the ashram, the proper permission has to be first obtained from the administration before leaving the ashram premises for any reason.
