Chez Mr Joseph, aka The Ritz/Gokulam

After traveling and escorting Sri K. Pattabhi Jois around the world for eleven years, many students had asked Joseph to organize a special living center near The Shala for all our use when visiting Mysore. Chez Mr Joseph is the creation we have manifested to have an enriched living experience in Mysore.

Please have a look at the "comments" section (click here) below for a review of our offerings. We have no control over what people say and we are honored by their response.

Staying at Josephs house was a good decision for me. It was a main reason why I got immediatly introduced to a nice groupe of people. After my arrival all the interesting places were shown to me, wich was quite important to me because I only stayd for 3 weeks in Mysore and felt as if I had no time to lose finding the right places to go. I felt very comfortable at Josephs house and would like to thank you again for your hospitality. Saturdays Breakfast round and fruitsalad was amazing and so nice for socializing. Many Greetings, Carmen

If you're new to Mysore, or an old hat looking for somewhere comfortable and safe, Joseph's is the place to be. It's clean, happy, warm, Joseph knows just about everything and everyone in this small but busy town, and he's always willing to help. Joseph made my transition into Mysore really excellent, and I'm deeply grateful. Plus, logistically, the location is excellent, even if you're not practicing at the Shala in Goko. And the fruit salad is de-licious! Thank you Joseph!

Greetings, It's Joseph here. Please, if you are reading posts or wanting to make a comment, direct your attention to the more than 40 comments section listed above the large photos on the home page. We were/are unable to figure out a way to eliminate this section when we made some changes.

Thank you,

Namaste, Joseph

Chez Josephs is a real ‘home-from-home’ and I am so pleased that I made the decision to stay there on my first visit to Mysore. Joseph is an exceptional host (and overall great guy), he took the initial anxiety of visiting a strange country by arranging a car from the airport, helping me exchange money, introducing me to fantastic people and acting as a tour guide to the city. I miss his legendary breakfasts already and hope to be back next year to enjoy more of his fabulous hospitality! Thank you so much Joseph.
