“In our tradition, Dāna is not just giving.
It is participation in the sacred.”
When we help build a temple, protect a cow, plant a tree, or support a place of learning, that merit quietly becomes part of our own life and the lives of our children. That is why our ancestors supported āśrams, forests, temples, and Ṛṣis. They knew that when Dharma is protected, society becomes stronger, calmer, and more beautiful.
Today, Rishikula is taking shape near Bannerghatta National Park — a quiet āśram where people can reconnect with nature, spirituality, simplicity, and the timeless wisdom of Bhārata.
Eight simple community spaces and traditional earth-based homes are being built using mud, stone, lime, bamboo, cob, and sacred cow-dung plaster
A place for meditation, study, sādhana, simple living, community gatherings, and spiritual learning.
“A place for Sādhana, Satya and Ṛta.”
Indigenous Bharatiya cows including Hallikar, Ongole, Punganur, Malnad Gidda and more are being nurtured with reverence and gratitude.
“The presence of cows brings softness, patience and peace.”
A temple dedicated to Araṇyānī Devi, the ancient Vedic Goddess of forests, is being created quietly among trees and open sky..
“A place for silence, prayer and inner stillness.”
At the heart of Rishikula stands the spiritual center of the Kula — supporting the Sri Adishaktinatha Paramadvaita Vidhyāpīṭha.
“The spiritual heart of the Kula.”
Consecrated spaces for Bhairava and Bhairavī sādhana — dedicated to mantra, tapas, meditation and awakening.
“To awaken courage, clarity and freedom.”
Every temple stone is placed because somebody cared. Every sacred space survives because ordinary people chose to support something greater than themselves.
