Festivals, milestones, and happenings from Sahyadri Sri Krishna Balarama Kshetra.
More than a hundred children from the surrounding villages come each weekend to learn slokas, hear stories of Krishna and Rama, sing kirtan, and share prasadam — no fees, just a living tradition.
Devotees travel regularly to Karkala, Udupi, and the Manipal campuses distributing Srila Prabhupada's Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam — five complete sets found new homes in Karkala in a single recent drive.
Every Sunday the assembly hall fills for a morning of kirtan, Bhagavad Gita discourse, and a sattvic feast cooked with milk from our own cows. All are welcome at Bangaru Gudde.
Our Malenadu Gidda herd roams fourteen acres of grazing land. Feed, medicine, and the 5 a.m. hands that tend them are sustained entirely through gau seva.
Mangala arati at dawn, walks among the cows, discourse, and an evening kirtan that often runs past sunset. No itinerary is rushed — the mountains set the pace.
Roofing, shelters, and fodder storage are improved season by season so the herd winters well. Every contribution becomes a meal, a vet visit, a small act of protection.
Dated festival reports and milestones will appear here as they are posted. For the latest, reach us or join a Sunday programme.
