About Our Asramam

Bhadrachalam temple was constructed in 17th century by a great devotee of Lord Rama named Bhaktha Ramadas. In this temple, Lord Sri Rama has appeared as a self manifested deity (swayambhu). His divine form appears with sankham, chakram, a bow and arrow in his four hands along with Mother Sitha and Lakshmana. The holy river Godavari flows around this pilgrimage. According to Bramha Purana, a devotee taking darsan of Lord Sri Rama, bathing in Godavari, performing charity, meditation, yajnas and thadiyaradhana (annadanam) will be 10 million times more fruitful in Bhadrachalam than in any other holy place. Millions of devotees attend the Sri Sitha Rama Kalyanam which is celebrated grandly with pomp and splendor annually on Sri Rama Navami day.

I joined here as a web designer expecting this place to be like other offices. But, the very first day I realized I have taken a very good decision. The serene atmosphere, the pious environment, the continuous Vedic, Ramayana, Bhagawatham chantings in the temple are giving me peace and happiness, not to mention about tasty prasadams in the temple. The experience is beyond words. I recommend everyone to visit the place and get energized.

Padmavathi

I am happy that I listened to my friend and came to JIVA. The experience is beyond words. Very peaceful and calm. My kids loved the place too. They went to gosala and fed the cows. One should visit the temple which is very unique having 3 tiers with wonderful paintings taking one to a different world. I plan to visit the asram whenever I am free.

Priya

I visited JIVA for the first time in 2012 during Chathurmasyam. It was right after my Samasrayanam. I fell in love with Vaikunttha Nattha perumal in the temple. I also found the asram to be very open and peaceful. All the devotees and volunteers make the environment very spiritual and enlightening. I also liked the go:sa:la and with all the love the cows are taken care of.

Anjali Devi – Warangal

The darshan of Lord Kodanda Rama reminded me of the values of dharma, compassion, and humility. The temple is not just a place of worship but also a place that teaches us how to live.
