Current Projects

1. Memorial Project: One often looks for suitable ways to remember loved ones, and to ensure their well-being in the hereafter. Participating in the Memorial Project is an effective way of continuing the legacy of loving and giving. You can donate a park bench and a solar lamp in the name of loved relatives, who you would like to remember for $250.00. We shall install the bench and the lamp in a scenic place at the ashram. The cost also includes engraving the name of the person to whom the bench is dedicated, and an electronic photograph of the bench sent to your email address. This project has several benefits: Your loved ones will live on in the ashram forever, the ashram itself will be greatly served by this development, by providing benches for rest and contemplation in sacred groves for sadhakas (seekers) from all over the world, and finally, you can get a tax-deduction for the amount. It is a win-win situation all the way.

2. Annadanam Project (Donation of Food): When we eat our food daily, we often wish that we could share it with others, but it seems cumbersome to do so, especially in the busy lifestyles that we lead. You can have the opportunity to participate in annadanam (donation of food) at the Arsha Vijnana Mandiram. The food in turn will be served in your name, or any name that you designate, to commemorate birthdays or anniversaries. The cost of participating in the project is $300 per year. You can get a tax-deduction for your donation.

3. Construction Projects: Plans are underway to build additional facilites at the ashram. You can make a donation towards this worthy project.  Additionally, you can also build a cottage for yourself at the ashram, where you can come and stay for the purposes of study and contemplation. Please contact us for further details about this project.

You can either donate online towards any of the projects listed above by clicking on "make a donation" button on the left panel, or send a check by mail. All donations are tax deductible.
