‘Dharma Bharathi Ashram in Mulanthuruthy village near Kochi in central Kerala was founded in 2003 in a 1.72 acre plot of land gifted by a NRI couple, Mr. & Mrs. Francis Iype, for this purpose. Another adjacent plot measuring 65 cents was bought and gifted by late Ms. Prisca Vanissery, a retired nurse from USA.
Dharma Bharathi Ashram is envisaged to have 3 units as part of it. A ‘Guru Bhavan’ serving as a spiritual center wherein Sadguru Jesus Christ is worshipped and followed as the Divine Master and Lord, is the first Unit of the Ashram. The Guru Bhavan trains ‘sadhaks’ and sends them out as misionaries of a New Creation.
The ‘Guru Bhavan’ was inaugurated and dedicated to God on 17th December 2003. A ‘Sneha Bhavan’ for poor children was started in 2004. It was handed over to Pune-based ‘Maher Trust’ headed by Sr. Lucy Kurien, in March 2009.
Mary Mata Karunalayam, an old age home for women governed by the Congregation of Our Lady of Garden also functions in the Ashram campus on 90 cents of land gifted by the Ashram. An old building in the 65 cents plot gifted by Ms. Prisca Vanissery is renovated and modified as 'Shanti Bhavan’.
Dharma Bharathi Foundation (DBF) created and registered on 17th Nov 2001 by Acharya Sachidananda Bharathi at Hyderabad is the legal owner of Guru Bhavan.
DBF is responsible to manage the Guru Bhavan and all its activities in Kerala. However, the Ashram and Foundation will be guided and supported by NIT whenever required and necessary.
