As The Sadhus Shiver In Silence While Meditating, Give Them Warmth & Hope This Winter

Feel free to ask Campaigner for a new update on this Fundraiser.

Story of the changemaker

In the cold winter season, sadhus in spiritual places like Rishikesh, Kedarnath , Badrinath , Uttarkashi face the harsh reality of their chosen path. Wearing minimal saffron clothing, they endure the biting cold, having left behind all material possessions. They shiver in silence while meditating, and the cold winds test their determination. They gather around small fires to keep warm and continue their spiritual journey, as winter becomes a challenge for both their body and mind.

And through it all, they remain dedicated to the Almighty and their spirituality. For them, there’s no purpose greater than this.

They Live A Life Of Solitude & Face Numerous Challenges Along The Way Alone

Sadhus are highly respected in Indian spirituality and culture. They live a simple lifestyle and have deep knowledge of spirituality. Their devotion to the divine inspires people to seek inner transformation and look beyond material possessions. Through their teachings and practices, they help people discover the true purpose of life.

“While everyone respects and admires sadhus, people often forget about the numerous challenges they face every single day. They have given up material possessions, including basic necessities like comfortable clothing and shelter. They live a life of solitude, brave harsh weather conditions, and even endure hunger. And they do all of this alone. I believe it is our duty to help them.” - Swami Rameshji, Founder, Shri Mateshwari Annakshetra Samiti

As winter approaches, their challenges only increase. Winters in India, especially in the northern regions, can be harsh. While some of us eagerly look forward to the joys of these months, there are thousands of sadhus who have no one to rely on to survive the cold.

This Winter, Let’s Help These Sadhus Stay Safe & Protected

The sadhus are preparing to brave the winter months with nothing but the minimal clothing they have, but this leaves them vulnerable to illness. They also struggle to get food, shelter, and more. This year, let’s make winter safe for thousands of sadhus in India.

Your support will ensure they get blankets, shawls, and sweaters and keep them warm and protected.

About the NGO: Founded almost 18 years ago, Shri Mateshwari Annakshetra Samiti has been relentlessly working very hard to give the Sadhus of the Himalayas by offering food, and basic amenities, and distributing medicines. Their dedication has impacted the lives of countless sadhus so far and this winter, they want to reach out to many more.
