Volunteer
Our Master Shri Shri Sitaramdas Omkarnath Ji set high standards for us to follow. All his life he carried the sandals of his Guru around his neck. Akhil Bharat Jaiguru Sampradaya - Vrindavan invites volunteers for Guru Seva and to follow the path shown by the Master.
The blessings from Guru Seva complete and fill up the areas which are lacking in the life of the disciple. Guru Seva brings upon the disciples blessings in form of health, good life, work, wealth, knowledge, intelligence, blessings of Gods and merger with Absolute.
Akhil Bharat Jaiguru Sampradaya - Vrindavan is entirely volunteer run. In today's busy life it is not possible to do Guru Seva full time. But we should try to spend some time in seva of the Guru who has given us everything.

Gau Seva
गावो ममाग्रतो नित्यं गावः पृष्ठत एव च |
गावो मे सर्वतश्चैव गवां मध्ये वसाम्यहम् |
Let there be cows in front of me, Behind me and all around me. I live with the cows.
That person who is always engrossed in Go-seva with no duplicity becomes happy from others’ happiness and becomes distressed from others’ distress. When this conduct is shown by humans towards their ishtadeva and His creation, then that is called as seva of God or pure spirituality. Therefore we see that, the mental state which is required for spiritual advancement is seen to rise on its own in the nonduplicitous performers of Go-seva. Even if one is not able to perform Go-seva directly by oneself, one can still get the compassion of the Lord by extending one’s hands in a mood of seva while taking part in Go-seva indirectly. Even in such people, the Lord makes the two qualities of being niraparadhi and upakari arise.
Nar Narayan Seva
Sadhu Bhandara
'Look here, a great man (Mahapurush) has come. Blow the conch shell; wherever this child will go, anna daan (distribution of food) on a vast scale will follow him.'
These are the words of Sri Prankrishna Bandopadhyaya, an astrologer and maternal great grandfather of our beloved Sri Sri Thakur after casting his horoscope at the time of the Master's birth. Master's legacy is still alive in his multiple Ashrams. In Dheer Sameer Kunj Vrindavan, food is served to everyone on regular basis. Contributions are invited to keep this legacy going. You can donate for Nar Narayan seva and Sadhu Bhandara. Dheer Sameer Kunj houses a large dining hall which can serve upto 100 people at one go. We request you to visit the Ashram and enjoy the delicious prasad cooked by Saints. In case you are unable to come, live video can be streamed to donors on request.
Support For Ashram
Sri Sri Thakur Ji has 3 Ashrams in Vrindavan:
-
Dheer Sameer Kunj
-
Malyabati Math (Widow ashram)
-
Khajoor Baadi.
The ashrams require regular maintenance and lot of activities are planned on different festivals. There are also Sadhus living in the Ashram on full time basis, indulged in Sadhana.
Few planned and ongoing activities are:
-
The renovation of rooms is carried out regularly to ensure the disciples have a comfortable and peaceful stay.
-
The entry facing Parikrama Marg and Yamuna Ji has been demolished and being reconstructed to allow the visitors an easy access from the Yamuna side
-
The Malyabati Ashram was dedicated by Sri Sri Thakur Ji to widow devotees or single female devotees. As this Ashram was constructed in Years ago, the building has deteriorated and hence requires reconstruction.
-
Old Gaushala has been demolished and a new larger one of 40 Ft X 40 Ft is being constructed
