Adhyatma Niketan (Hindi: अध्यात्म निकेतन) is an ashram in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is situated on Koteshwar Road, Near Vinay Nagar sector-1,[1] is around 7 km from the Gwalior Railway station.

The land was purchased by Huzur Malik Saheb Sant Yogi ManSingh ji in 1961 for the sum of Rs. 12,000 /- in order to establish an ashram. When Swami Vishnu Tirth Ji Maharaj visited Gwalior on 11 April 1961, the place was inaugurated and named 'Adhyatma Niketan'.[2]

It is spread over 2.5 acres (10,000 m2) of land at the foot-hill of Gwalior Fort. The rear part of Adhyatma Niketan is used as a residence by Sant Kripal Singh Ji Maharaj,[3] and his family members and the front part is donated to the trust called 'Adhyatmic Shikshan and Sadhana Kendra'.

The Ashram has one big and spacious auditorium which is used for satsang, spiritual discourses, bhajan, kundalini awakening and shaktipat initiation [4] etc., especially on the occasions of the Ashram's various festivals, when a large number of devotees gather there. On the eastern side lies the samadhin of Huzur Malik Saheb. The samadhi has sufficient space inside to accommodate around 200-250 devotees at a time for worship and meditation. Various kinds of stones including white marble have been used.
