The progressive and modern city of Bangalore is the state capital, being located within India's Karnataka state. Many things that are considered to be 'taboo' and off-limits in India have become acceptable in Bangalore, offering a refreshing and more relaxed atmosphere than other nearby cities.
Founded at the beginning of the 16th century, Bangalore is often referred to as the country 'Garden City', due to its high concentration of parks and green spaces. For tourists visiting Bangalore, much of the main interest lies within the vast Cubbon Park, and also off Mahatma Gandhi Road, better known as simply 'MG Road'.

Ayurveda and Yoga
- Both Ayurveda and Yoga offer many ways to prevent and heal various disorders as well as to cleanse and rejuvenate the body.
- Besides sharing a philosophical foundation, both systems have many similarities in relation to attitude, nutrition, diet, hygiene, exercise, cleansing practices, as well as spiritual practices.
- Both recognize that keeping the body healthy is vital for fulfilling the four aims of life: Dharma (duty), Artha (wealth), Kama (desire), and Moksha (liberation).
- Both recognize that the balance of doshas (humors), dhatus (tissues), and malas (waste products) is essential for maintaining good health.
- Both share virtually the same metaphysical anatomy and physiology, which consists of 72,000 nadis (subtle channels), 7 main chakras (energy centers), 5 bodily sheaths, and the Kundalini Shakti (energy).
- Both advocate the use of diet, herbs, asana, pranayama, meditation, mantra, astrology, prayer, puja, and rituals for healing the entire being.
- Both encourage physical health as a good foundation for mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Originally, Yoga had eight ladders. Yam, Niyam, Asana, Pranayam, Prathyhar, Dharna, Dhyaan, and Samadhi
| Yam : | This consists of ethical guidelines regarding moral behavior towards others |
| Niyam : | This consists of ethical guidelines regarding moral behavior towards oneself |
| Asana : | Is the practice of yoga Postures |
| Pranayam : | Is the practice of breathing exercises |
| Prathyahar : | Withdrawal of senses from the body, meaning the exterior world is not a distraction to the interior world within oneself. |
| Dharna : | Concentration, meaning the ability to focus on something uninterrupted |
| Dhyaan : | Meditation |
| Samadhi : | Is the highest know how in Yoga. This is a state of bliss |
The first four ladders, namely, Yam, Niyam, Asana and Pranayam form what is called 'Bahiranga Yoga'(external yoga) and the other four ladders namely Prathyahaar, Dharna, Dhyaan and Samadhi form 'Antaranga Yoga' (internal yoga). To practice Antaranga Yoga one would need a Master, who has traveled well till Samadhi. Without this, practicing Antaranga Yoga will not be possible.
Integral to the homestay experience is dining at our table, as part of the extended family, where each meal is an occasion to sit down and enjoy a few hours together. At Carmel, meals are enjoyed in a common dining area or in the green house BBQ counter. We serve a mixture of continental fare, regional Indian favorites, and traditional Kerala cuisine.
