Natha Kendra is an Integrated Vedic Life Community nestled in the mountains of Anaikatti, adjacent to Coimbatore city. We’re deeply committed to preserving ancient Indian sustainability practices, which reflect in our organic farming, cow-rearing, and eco-friendly constructions. Additionally, we offer classes in Yoga, Meditation, Astrology, and more.
As a volunteer, you’ll have the opportunity to engage in various activities such as organic farming, cow care, and tree maintenance. If you’re passionate about eco-friendly construction, you can learn hands-on mud construction techniques in our building projects. Joining our community means contributing to our shared kitchen and assisting with the general maintenance of our premises.
