ABOUT US

Agasthyasram, is a charitable trust, founded in 1991 by His Holiness Sree Sudheer Vaidyan. He is one of the great Saints of modern times. This Self realized Master was an embodiment of love, humility and compassion. Although He had always helped the less fortunate and the helpless, His secret spiritual aspiration had always been to build temples dedicated to the worship of Saints and Sages, and that is what exactly He did next.

Under the charitable trust they bought some marshy land in the city of Kureekad in the South Indian state of Kerala, and on that land they first built a temple for Maha yogi Sree Agasthyar, the ageless Guru of Gurus. Since then 12 other temples were built one after another, for Saints and Sages. The entire complex of 13 small temples was named Agasthyasram in honor of Agasthya Muni.

The design of this unique temple construction represents a famous Vedic scene called "Naimisharanyam" in which Sages sit together in spiritual conclave for the benefit of all mankind. As a devotee enters the temple complex through its main entrance to the south, he comes upon Lord Siva in the form of Dakshinamurti enshrined to the Norrth. In two facing rows to the East and West, twelve shrines, six on either side, house the images of Vedic healers, Saints and Sages.
