the art of holistic living
A shared journey in harmony with yourself and life
the meditative state
Can you see how difficult it is to sit in silence, to be in silence ?
The restless nature of the mind does not allow you to be silent inside, to be Here and Now without expectation. But this state is the joy of life itself.
why mauna?
the silence of the mind
The word “Mauna” is derived from Sanskrit, meaning the silence of the mind. This silence goes beyond mere verbal quietness; it signifies a profound stillness where the mind is free from judgment, speculation, expectation, and prejudice. In this state, the mind is clear of all psychological patterns and reactive mental conditions, embodying true inner peace.
Inner silence, or Mauna, holds significant importance in our lives. It allows us to connect with our true selves, fostering a deeper understanding of our thoughts and emotions. This state of inner tranquility enhances our ability to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively, leading to more harmonious relationships and a balanced, mindful life. By cultivating Mauna, we create a space for personal growth and spiritual awakening, helping us navigate the complexities of life with clarity and compassion.
Mauna House gives you the opportunity to experience and practice that.
beginning
foundation of mauna house
Mauna House was established in 2011 by Ajiit, with a group of friends and seekers who wished to start the inner journey with Ajiit’s guidance, from the limitation of the ego to the limitless being. The choice of the house in Szőlősgyörök has been designed by life itself, there was no particular reason for this location. In 2011 it was an old house with lot of side buildings, that were used for animal keeping. Throughout the years the house has been growing, by the love and active physical participation of everyone who stayed or visited the place. By now it is a beautiful Retreat Center with a lot of facilities, with a peaceful and thriving garden and an atmosphere where you can breathe in love.
Mauna House is home to a continuously growing community of like-minded people. Whether you come for a visit or wish to stay for a while, you are warmly welcomed here if you have a sincere desire to live consciously, get closer to yourself, and dedicate time and energy to your personal and spiritual growth. If you are seeking inner peace, harmony, and self-discovery, Mauna House provides the ideal environment to support your journey.
The principles of Mauna House and the activities reflect Ajiit’s work and teachings, based on the desire for growth and self-awareness, love, respect and compassion.
At Mauna House, Ajiit has consciously designed all activities and events to help you focus the attention on the present moment. This focus on the Here and Now brings you to a pure, free, and limitless state, offering a profound sense of peace and clarity.
From this viewpoint, all activities at the House is more than just a task or a chore—it becomes a form of meditation and a tool for personal growth and inner transformation. Whether it is movement meditation, sitting in silence, engaging in creative arts and music, or gardening, cooking, product making, each activity is filled with a deeper purpose. They are designed to help you stay present, centered, and mindful, turning everyday actions into opportunities for meditation and spiritual practice.
Moreover, these activities are not only spiritually enriching but also productive and joyful, especially when done with others, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose.

founder’s message
the truth behind reality
“What you are is always here, it never disappears. What covers your self is the idea of what you think you are. When you remove that you can see your Being.
What you are is like the blue sky above the clouds. Even when you cannot see it, above the clouds it is always blue.
You don’t need to achieve it. Only something needs to go away.”
