A Vedic farm community in the Agumbe rainforest — fifty cows roam freely across fourteen acres, devotees chant the holy names, and visitors find a quieter pace of life.
Sahyadri Sri Krishna Balarama Kshetra was founded in 2006 by His Holiness Bhakti Raghava Swami Maharaj with a quiet, ambitious vision — to recreate the rhythm of Vedic village life: cows cared for as family, soil tilled without chemicals, and minds elevated through study and chanting. Three kilometres from Hebri, thirty from Udupi, inside the green silence of the Agumbe rainforest.
Fifty cows of the indigenous Malenadu Gidda breed graze freely across fourteen acres — never tied.
Daily Bhagavatam classes, weekend retreats, and structured online courses for seekers worldwide.
Jackfruit, coconut, cashew, and seasonal vegetables — grown the old way, cow-fed, chemical-free.
Children's classes, village outreach, festivals, and a slow Vedic rhythm of life that anyone can step into.
Cows are our mothers — they nourish us with their milk.
Wherever cows are happy, there is no shortage of prosperity.
A sanctuary for the Malenadu Gidda — a small, hardy native breed once on the edge of disappearance.
Jackfruit, coconut, cashew, almond, and seasonal vegetables — all chemical-free, all cow-fed.
Arati, Gita discourses, sattvic meals, and slow afternoons with the cows.
No one who comes to Hebri leaves hungry. Prasadam distributed daily to villagers and guests.
Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam sets carried into homes, colleges, and Manipal campuses.
Chanting processions, home programmes, and the warm chaos of devotees meeting in living rooms.
Every weekend, children from the villages around Hebri gather under the trees — they chant, they listen to stories from the Bhagavatam, they sit cross-legged on red mats and eat prasadam together. No tuition, no uniforms, no hurry.
We believe the seeds of a Vedic culture are planted not in classrooms, but in afternoons like these — slow, sun-dappled, and shared.

They graze freely across fourteen acres, twice a day, eating Super Napier grass from our own fields. Never tied. Never sold. Never abandoned.
