From kirtan in living rooms to Bhagavatam sets on college campuses — the work at Hebri reaches far beyond our fourteen acres.
Our farming is pure organic, rooted in deep respect for Mother Earth — no chemical fertilisers, no pesticides, no shortcuts. Cow dung and cow urine are returned to the soil. Composting happens slowly. Mulch is layered. Earthworms are welcome.
We grow jackfruit, coconut, cashew, almond, banana, and a rotating set of seasonal vegetables — much of which feeds the ashram, the cows, and the daily prasadam offering.
Diverse produce, all chemical-free:
Annam Brahma — food is divine.
Prasadam at Hebri is offered first to the deities, then served to anyone who walks through the gate — villagers, schoolchildren, pilgrims alike.
Morning mangala arati, Bhagavad Gita discourse, walks among the cows, a sattvic lunch, and an evening kirtan that often runs past sunset. No itinerary is rushed — the mountains set the pace.

On Sundays, festivals, and special occasions we host larger feasts — every meal cooked with milk from our own cows and vegetables from our own land, offered first to the deities.

A hundred children from the villages gather on red mats under the trees — slokas, stories of Krishna and Rama, kirtan, and prasadam. No fees, no formal curriculum.

Devotees travel to Karkala, Udupi, and the Manipal campuses — distributing Srila Prabhupada's books and inviting young people to weekend programmes. Five complete Bhagavatam sets found new homes in Karkala in a single recent drive.
Mridangas, karatalas, and saffron robes moving through village streets and town squares — chanting Hare Krishna, distributing prasadam, inviting passers-by into a moment of joy. Sankirtan is how this movement began, and it remains its beating heart.
