Supporting the mandir

Nothing at this mandir is charged for. What is given, is given freely — and what keeps the lamp lit and the fire fed comes from those who choose to give.

Nothing at this mandir is charged for. Not the sessions, not satsang, and not diksha.

What keeps the lamp lit, the fire fed and the door open comes entirely from those who choose to give. Nobody will ask you for a donation, and nothing is withheld from anyone who does not make one.

What a gift does

Where it goes

Naming the purpose matters more than naming the amount. Give towards whichever of these you wish.

How to give

By bank transfer

There is no payment page here, and nothing on this site will ever ask you for a card number. A gift goes directly to the mandir's own account.

Account name
Sanjay Rajaram Yerunkar
Bank
State Bank of India, Bibwewadi Branch
Account number

IFSC

If you make a transfer, please send a message through the Contact page so the mandir knows whom to thank and what the gift was intended for.

Tell the mandir you have given

Time is a gift too.

If money is not what you have to give, seva is the older offering — and the one the mandir most often needs.
