Anand Gram

Most travelers visiting India head straight to the big metro cities, often missing out on the essence of the country — the real India. Karnal, a small yet historically significant city linked to King Karna of the Mahabharata, offers a truly authentic and immersive experience. Surrounded by vibrant farmland and traditional villages, this region opens a window into rural Indian life that few get to see.

Here, I invite guests to experience both the simplicity of village and farm life, as well as the cultural richness of Karnal city. India is a land of immense diversity, and in this area alone, you can witness a beautiful blend of different cultures. The surroundings are dotted with ancient temples, especially near Anand Gram, offering spiritual and historical exploration for those interested.

Guests will also have the chance to connect with our extended network of friends and family living in nearby villages. You’re welcome to meet local families, observe their way of life, and learn firsthand about Indian traditions and daily routines. The level of your involvement is entirely up to you — whether you’d like to visit the local market, help prepare meals, run errands, or simply observe daily life before or after farm work, you’re encouraged to jump in and be a part of it.

For those interested in organic farming and permaculture, this is a great opportunity to both learn and share knowledge. Volunteers can actively participate in sustainable farming practices, contribute their own skills, and gain hands-on experience in a nurturing environment.

If your interests lean more toward inner exploration, this is also an ideal place. As a healer with a background in meditation, tantra, yoga, and alternative therapies, I’m happy to share my knowledge and guide guests in their spiritual journey — whether you're just beginning or looking to go deeper.

Welcome to Anand Gram – A Sanctuary of Spirituality, Nature, and Authentic Indian Living Namaste! I’m Swami Vimal Kirti, based in Karnal, Haryana, India. I am a Healer, Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Tantra Teacher, and Reiki Grand Master. Alongside guiding individuals on their spiritual path, I also teach The Science of Relationships and use a range of meditation therapies to support healing from psychosomatic disorders, emotional imbalances, and relationship challenges. Our home, now known as Anand Gram, is a 14-acre farm nestled in a peaceful village just 30 minutes from Karnal. The land is cultivated with rice paddies, a 5-acre fruit orchard, and sections of organic vegetables. At the heart of Anand Gram, we’ve created a Meditation and Healing Center, surrounded by flourishing green plantations—a tranquil space dedicated to growth, healing, and inner transformation. We warmly welcome volunteers who wish to connect with the earth and spirit alike. Whether it’s helping in the organic fields, caring for the orchard, or participating in spiritual activities at the center, Anand Gram offers a unique opportunity to experience conscious living in a nurturing, natural environment. Karnal’s central location makes it an excellent base for exploring many parts of India. But what truly makes this place special is the spirit of community. At Anand Gram, guests are treated like family. You’ll share meals, conversations, laughter, and daily life with us. We want you to not only relax and recharge but to deeply immerse yourself in the culture and rhythm of rural India. Whether you’re seeking spiritual growth, natural healing, or simply an authentic Indian experience, Anand Gram opens its heart to you. Come, experience, learn, share, and grow. Welcome to the family.
