Sustainable and Ethical Eco-farm Our Eco Farm focuses on regenerative agriculture and is an educational hub for the future of sustainable farming.

Spiritual Sanctuary for the Soul
The other arm of our work is the Spiritual Retreat Centre and Sanctuary that serves as a hub for spiritual learning and cultivation of conscious living. It is a sanctuary for the soul, offering a plethora of retreats that explore the profound principles of Bhakti Yoga alongside non-sectarian spiritual experiences, all based in the understanding that internal growth and environmental sustainability are abidingly interconnected.
Compassion-centered Vision
Gita Nagari’s vision is to build and be an example for an inclusive and compassionate future for all beings. We work toward this goal by focusing on three fundamental pillars: Spirituality, Sustainability and Social Impact.
Our vision and operations are centered on the spiritual philosophy of Bhakti Yoga, which seeks to honor and empower the innate sacredness in all beings. Our core values of balance, education, and personal growth derive from this understanding and drive all our actions.
By honoring the sanctity of all life, preserving the environment and cultivating meaningful relationships with our community, both locally and globally, we hope to inspire the much needed change in our world today.
50 Years of Stewardship and Service
2024 marks 50 years since our inception, 50 years of conscious stewardship of nature and service to society.
In a time when environmental degradation, ecological contamination, and animal exploitation have become the norm, our team has committed itself to providing a viable alternative. Gita Nagari’s eco farm and spiritual sanctuary are an innovative example for both planetary and personal sustainability.
