As The Sadhus Shiver In Silence While Meditating, Give Them Warmth & Hope This Winter
Project
In the cold winter season, sadhus in spiritual places like Rishikesh, Varanasi, and Ayodhya face the harsh reality of their chosen path. Wearing minimal saffron clothing, they endure the biting cold, having left behind all material possessions. They shiver in silence while meditating, and the cold winds test their determination. They gather around small fires to keep warm and continue their spiritual journey, as winter becomes a challenge for both their body and mind.
And through it all, they remain dedicated to the Almighty and their spirituality. For them, there’s no purpose greater than this.
They Live A Life Of Solitude & Face Numerous Challenges Along The Way Alone
Sadhus are highly respected in Indian spirituality and culture. They live a simple lifestyle and have deep knowledge of spirituality. Their devotion to the divine inspires people to seek inner transformation and look beyond material possessions. Through their teachings and practices, they help people discover the true purpose of life.
“While everyone respects and admires sadhus, people often forget about the numerous challenges they face every single day. They have given up material possessions, including basic necessities like comfortable clothing and shelter. They live a life of solitude, brave harsh weather conditions, and even endure hunger. And they do all of this alone. I believe it is our duty to help them.” - Swami Rameshji, Founder, Shri Mateshwari Annakshetra Samiti
As winter approaches, their challenges only increase. Winters in India, especially in the northern regions, can be harsh. While some of us eagerly look forward to the joys of these months, there are thousands of sadhus who have no one to rely on to survive the cold.
This Winter, Let’s Help These Sadhus Stay Safe & Protected
The sadhus are preparing to brave the winter months with nothing but the minimal clothing they have, but this leaves them vulnerable to illness. They also struggle to get food, shelter, and more. This year, let’s make winter safe for thousands of sadhus in India.
Your support will ensure they get blankets, shawls, and sweaters and keep them warm and protected.

- Choose the financial year for which you'd like the donation certificate
- Click on ‘Download 80G Certificate’

Instead of receiving separate 80G certificates for each donation, you'll receive a consolidated 80G certificate via email covering all your donations made through our platform in the financial year. Further, The corresponding 10BE form that proves your eligibility for the tax deduction will also be consolidated. This way, you won't have to worry about multiple downloads and can save time.
To qualify for tax exemption on your donations, you need to obtain a 10BE. This can be done by filing your 80G claims for donations made during the Financial Year (FY). You can download your 10BE from the‘My Profile’ section by 31st May of the next FY and also receive it via email.
For example: if you made donations between April 2023 and March 2024 (FY 2023-24), you will get your 10BE by 31st May 2024, provided you need to claim the 80G for these donations.
Please note that you cannot claim 80G for donations made between April 2022 and March 2023 (FY 2022-23) anymore as the window for claiming it has closed. However, you can still get the 10BEs for that year if you made 80G claims on or before 31st July 2023.
