Description: Sradha is a farm retreat located in Muthalamada near Chulliar Dam in the Palakkad District of Kerala. The center is set in the ambiance of our organic farm, Anuragam at the base of the Nelliampathy hills falling along the southern edge of the Palakkad gap.

Anuragam originated as an attempt to find ones earthy moorings at the culmination of a period of inner search, replete with inner struggles and wanderings. It was also a phase of dwelling on the teachings of J.Krishnamurti, Ramana Maharshi, Gita and Ramakrishna. This is intended as a place for physical work and inner inquiry.

Visitors and volunteers are expected to take part in the activities here and also spend more time for silence, reading , inner inquiry, yoga etc. There is

a small library with books on J. Krishnamurti, Carlos Castaneda, Aurobindo, Organic Farming,Permaculture, Nature cure, Energy healing etc

Experience in farming ,inner inquiry ,natural healing etc are expected to be shared.

Accommodation is limited to four persons at a time. There are two bed rooms bath attached with separate sit outs. The building incorporates traditional craft elements. Toxin free food & herbal drinks, mostly produced in our farm will be served here.
