The building of Guru Kripa Forest Hermitage has depended entirely on the generosity of Ananda friends all over the world. That generosity helped us purchase the land for the Hermitage — five and a half acres of prime land, not too far from a city, with a productive well (300 gpm), reliable electricity, and good internet access.
We still need funding for the construction and land development (trees, gardens, infrastructure). See Phasing, Timeline, and Costs for more information.
If you have any questions or would like to learn more, please email: hermitage@anandaindia.org.
