To do this, please add  on the top of Siddharth sharma and leave a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position.

Vaalabh Niketan Vishwaneedam Trust
In the heart of Bangalore, lies a serene place surrounded by nature and greenery. This oasis is the Gandhi Bhavan campus housing various constructive organizations, one of which is Vallabh Niketan, one of the Six Ashrams of Acharya Vinoba Bhave, the spiritual heir of Mahatma Gandhi. It is run by Vishwaneedam Trust(R) Vinoba Literature Verbatim translation Vol 14 pp 221,223,231,232,233,238,243

I have walked all over India for 13 years. In the backdrop of enuring perpetuity of my life’s work, I have established 6 Ashrams. Although I have accomplished a lot, one of the achievements “Baba” would like to be remembered, is for establishing these Ashrams. Hence, 6 geographical sites were chosen. 3 in the three corners of India and three in the middle, on the lines of Adi Shankaracharya.

1)   Samanvay Ashram              Bodhgaya                Bihar 2)    Bramh Vidya Mandir          Paunar               Sewagram, Maharashtra 3)   Prasthan Ashram                 Pathankot                 Punjab 4)    Visarjan Ashram                 Indore                     Madhya Pradesh 5)   Maitri Ashram                    Sino-India border     Assam 6)    Vallabh Niketan                  Bangalore                Karnataka

Vallabh Niketan, Bangalore

In 1965 Vallabh Niketan was established in reminiscence of Vallabh Swamy. I Have seen many a people with sharp intellect, but none with the purity of Vallabh Swamy. Hence, to commemorate his unique temperament, this Ashram shall be his memorial. It shall be so managed that people may indulge in self study, a bit of meditation, contemplation and resultantly- attain serenity. There shall prevail an environment of pious friendship.

Four Points to be taken care there –

1)               The environment there shall be peaceful 2)                Unopposed service work (Seva Karya) to go on.. with 3)               A spiritual point of view 4)                Peace, devotion and affection be prevelant there

With these expectations, Vallabh Niketan has been instituted. Vishwaneedam Trust ® Vallabh Niketan Gandhi Bhavan Campus Bangalore 560001 Karnataka India vishwaneedamtrust@gmail.com

Resources

No foreign aid accepted, neither Corporate aid, nor govt aids. Only individual participation as per Vinobaji’s wish of ‘Kanchan Mukti’ & ‘Shaasan Mukti’.

Major Benefactors at present

To understand civility, one must clearly discern between the terms – Sympathy & Empathy. Sympathy means compassion, commiseration, or in short, favorable attitude. Empathy on the other hand means the faculty & power of identifying oneself with another person. Almost all of us have an abundance of sympathy, -only rare ones have developed empathy. As a society, at every occurance of natural calamity, courtesy saturation media coverage, a lot of aid gets generated –read surge of sympathy. But concurrently people tend to forget the millions who are struggling daily for basic sustainability, -read drought of empathy. Out of sight-out of mind syndrome? Maybe. Hence the Ashram funds are generated respecting the Sarvodaya ideals and our razor’s edge principle of managing this place solely with the help of people, but at the same time without solicitation of help. There are numerous individulas and social service organizations who are the Ashram’s incognito benefactors. Purely voluntary donations are accepted in the name of Vishwaneedam Trust and a receipt ssued.

Ashram Lifestyle

A self sustained social laboratory where people of diverse caste, creed, culture, relgion. Ethnicity, age, economic status live autonomously but interdependently in harmony with nature & active participation in an atmosphere of “Bhakti, Preeti & Shanti” as per Vinobaji’s Charter for Vallabh Niketan…
