હરિ ૐ નંદિગ્રામ સેવાકાર્યો કરતી એક સંસ્થા માત્ર નથી. વનઘટાઓની વચ્ચે આવેલી આ શાંત સુંદર જગ્યા એક વેળા તપોભૂમિ હતી. અહીં ઋષિમુનિઓના કંઠે મંત્રો અને ઋચાઓનાં ગાન થતા, વિદ્યાર્થીઓ જ્ઞાનગ્રંથોનો અભ્યાસ કરતા. સમગ્ર વાતાવરણ પવિત્ર અને ઈશ્વરાભિમુખ હતું. એ તપોભૂમિનું દૈવત ફરી જાગૃત કરવાનો નંદિગ્રામનો પ્રયત્ન છે. અહીં નિવસતા કે આવતા મહેમાનો, સહુ કોઈ પોતાના જીવનમાં કોઈને કોઈ પ્રકારના તપ દ્વારા આ ભૂમિને ફરી તપોભૂમિ બનાવવામાં પોતાનું સંનિષ્ઠ અર્પણ કરવાનો ભાવ સેવે એવી પ્રાર્થના.
WHY NANDIGRAM
The name Nandigram has a deep meaning. King Bharat of Ramayan, instead of staying in the palace preferred to live a simple life in a small hut at Nandigram village located on the outskirts of Ayodhya after vangaman (exile) of Lord Ram. He placed the sacred paduka of Shree Ram on the royal throne and ruled the kingdom on his behalf awaiting his return. In the same manner, the pioneers of Nandigram left the city-life of Mumbai and selected to reside at Vankal – a small village of Valsad District, Gujarat. Makrandbhai and Kundnikaben strongly believed in working as per inner guidance from Supreme power, keeping their own desires and ego aside. They used to advise us to perform all the activities without the sense of doership. According to them, the act of servicing should be based upon compassion and selflessness without any expectation or intention even to make the recipient feel inferior. Both of them emphasized to live a simple life with continuous spiritual growth; so that Divinity can be manifested within.
નંદિગ્રામ એટલે આત્માનું આનંદધામ અને પ્રેમની ખેતી, એકમાં સ્થિર શાંતિ છે, બીજામાં મંગલ ગતિ.
Nandigram is a creation of renowned poet and visionary, Sai Shree Makrandbhai Dave and an eminent writer as well as spiritual pilgrim Shree Kundnikaben Kapadia.
Established in 1985 with few like-minded people under Divine Guidance, our Founders firmly believed that the inner purification and social obligations are the two wings of the Soul and should go hand in hand. Spiritual practices without social concern is lop-sided. Likewise, services without spirituality is ego-boosting, seeking validation for generosity.

On the evening before the main event, we gather for Bhajan Sandhya, a soulful evening of devotional music. The day begins with prayers and readings from their literary works. We listen to recordings of their talks and messages, and enjoy lectures by invited guests who share insights on spirituality and memoirs of their association with Makrandbhai and Kundanikaben. The celebration culminates with Garba, a traditional dance to the tune of "Gamtaano Kariye Gulaal," followed by Prasad distribution.
The flag on Hanuman Madhi is ceremoniously changed twice a year, on Hanuman Jayanti and on Makrandbhai's birthday. At Nandigram, we joyfully celebrate several festivals and significant dates, including Diwali, Gujarati New Year, Kundanikaben's birthday (January 11th), Buddha Poornima (Baishakhi Poornima), and Guru Poornima (Ashaadhi Poornima).
