This Webpage is set-up to keep our Donors informed of our progress. The Ashram was established in 1936. Thanks to generous public and government support, we have grown over the years.
All acts of kindness are wonderful.
We feel good when we give something to others and help and help them reach their full potential in life. Our rewards are the warm feelings that touch our heart. In 1936, Thavathiru Ramadass Anna, front row left sitting on the ground, and Thiru M S Pichaimuthu established Sri Shanmugananda Ashram on the banks of Cauvery River. These golden hearted devotees of Vallalar provided food, a place to stay and quality education to orphan boys in the area so as to bring them up as valuable citizens. In 1954 Thirumuruga Kripananda Variar formally opened the orphanage.
