Sri Pratyaksha Charitable Trust – In the Service of the Needy

Be a Part of Preserving What Matters Most

Promoting culture and wellbeing, hand in hand.

Culture, Heritage & Social Welfare

Because tradition thrives when it is lived, shared, and passed on with care.

With the blessings of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Swamigal, Sri Pratyaksha Charitable Trust is committed to reviving India’s spiritual and cultural essence while supporting the communities that sustain it. From rural upliftment and annadanam to temple arts and ancient traditions, every initiative is designed to nurture the body, inspire the soul, and uplift the society.

These are not stand-alone efforts—they are threads in a sacred fabric that ties service to spirituality, art to access, and dharma to daily life.

Rural Development

SPCT works with communities in rural and semi-urban areas to ensure that no village is left behind in the journey toward dignity and development. Programs include:

Event 1

Event 2

Event 3

Event 4

By engaging directly with villagers, local leaders, and temple communities, the Trust ensures that each effort is both sustainable and culturally relevant. Development, in this model, is not only material—but deeply spiritual.

Annadanam

“Feeding the hungry is one of the highest forms of service—where the hand that gives, uplifts both receiver and giver.”

At the heart of SPCT’s social outreach is Annadanam—the sacred offering of food. Meals are prepared and distributed in:

  • Temples, Pathashalas, old-age homes, and rural communities
  • Large-scale religious events, yatras, and cultural festivals
  • Health camps and outreach programs


Food is prepared following sattvic principles, ensuring purity, nutrition, and spiritual benefit. For many recipients, especially the elderly and underserved, these meals offer not just nourishment, but a moment of dignity and belonging.

Devapuja

Pujaris are the guardians of temple traditions — performing rituals, preserving heritage, and nurturing spiritual well-being.

Through the Devapuja Scheme, Sri Pratyaksha Charitable Trust offers monthly support to deserving rural temple Pujaris, starting with Kerala.

With help from generous donors, we now support 100+ Pujaris and aim to reach 1,000 — ensuring they continue their divine service with dignity.

Support those who serve the Divine.

Upholding Those Who Uphold Our Dharma

Art & Music Preservation

In a fast-changing world, SPCT stands firmly for the preservation of India’s classical arts and spiritual heritage. Through Pathashalas, music schools, and cultural workshops, the Trust fosters:

Training in Nadaswaram, Veena, vocal music, and Bharatanatyam

Sanskrit theatre, kolam drawing, naivedyam cooking, and Vedic chanting

Temple restoration and revival of traditional architecture

Special camps to teach dharmic practices, pooja vidhanam, and festival rituals

Institutions like the Kamakoti Triveni Sangeetha Patashala in Chennai and Nadaswaram Gurukulams in Karvetinagaram have become living archives of tradition, where students are not just learning an art form, but embracing a way of life.

Rooted in Dharma, Reaching Every Heart.

At Sri Pratyaksha Charitable Trust, culture is not a memory—it is a movement. Whether through feeding a village, restoring a sacred space, or teaching a young child their first sloka, every act is a step toward a more conscious, connected, and compassionate society.
