FARM LIVING

 

Organic Farm
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, and Ramakrishna. Anuragam as an organic farm has been evolving into sustainability for nearly a decades now. We have various crops like paddy, vegetables, groundnut, sesame, coconut, mangos, gooseberry etc.

We grow chembavu rice, a near extinct traditional variety and among our mangoes are Sindoor, Alphonse, Kalappadi, Benganappalli, Neelam & Apose.

 
 
     
 

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

Sradha as a centre shares the inner search and the outer expression as an ebb and tide of the same flow. A place for silence, inner exploration and physical work. A place where you live in communion with the ecology of the hilly terrain, organic farming, nature cure, spirituality and yourself.

 
 

Facilities&Activities
Accommodation is limited to two 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.
 

 

A small library with books on J. Krishnamurti, Ramana Maharshi, organic farming, Carlos Castaneda Nature cure & Energy healing is provided. Some discourses of J. Krishnamurti are available on CD's and audio cassettes. 

The farm, the surroundings hills and the small waterfalls close by will not disappoint the nature lover. For children at the risk of being carried away from earth and it inmates - trees, animals, hills, rivers and human beings - through modern education and attitudes, Sradha might act as a speed - breaker.

Sradha look forward to accommodate children as part of non formal learning. We conduct study retreats on J. Krishnamurti teachings. Pranic healing courses and naturopathy camps are organized here.
 

 
     
 
 
 
     

This beautiful place is now offered for people interested in contemplation and organic farming to experience and learn. There is a cottage surrounded by wilderness where one can stay peacefully away from the maddening crowd. This is accompanied by a delicious, indigenous home made food. Any one interested in learning organic farming and also have a healthy attitude towards the natural world may visit the farm. Drinking alcohol and other such "fun" activities are strictly prohibited. We prefer those who are willing to live in modesty.

A one day stay at the farm will cost about Rs.300 for a single person and Rs.500, if two people would be sharing the cottage. For foreigners it is Rs.750 per person and Rs.1250 for two people [The cost also includes food which is organic and prepared in a traditional manner]. For children below 10 years of age the food and accommodation is free.
