About the Trust

In the astonishing nature of the Universe, Flowers are beautiful and amazing creation of God with a very short life span, yet destined to reach His lotus feet. Devotees believe that offering of flowers with utmost devotion is the simplest way to seek the blessings of the Almighty. Therefore procuring of flowers before commencement of any pooja is a prerequisite and Pooja is not accomplished without offering flowers. Pushpa seva is being rendered at Sri Sringeri Sharada Peetham since 15 years with the meager amount of fund made available through contributions received from few devotees.

With a view to ensure uninterrupted pushpa seva and also to enable the interested devotees to participate, a proposal for creation of Pushpa Seva Trust was submitted at the lotus feet of Jagadgurus of Sri Sharada Peetham. Their Holinesses most compassionately acceded the proposal and were king enough to name after trust as “SHARADAMBA PUSHPA SEVA TRUST”.

Accordingly, trust was formed on 26th day of August 2019 under the chairmanship of Guruseva Dhurina, Padmashree Dr. V R Gowrishankar, The Administrator and CEO of Sri Sharada Peetham and 11 renowned devotees as trustees. All the transactions of the Trust are carried out only after obtaining approval of Their Holinesses and Chairman.
