Shuka Vana ~ Rehabilitation Centre for Birds

The birds of Shuka Vana are fed four times daily.  Their first meal is comprised of fresh fruits like apples, grapes and small bananas from 9am. Then they are fed a variety of fresh green leafy vegetables and other different vegetables between 12-1pm. They are then fed a mixture of different seeds.  They are given at least one to two hours exercise daily and also about one hour sunlight.  This daily routine contributes to a healthy and happy bird. Thank you Appji for this wonderful Rehabilitation Center.

Sri Swamiji is not collecting colorful birds for fun and games. This is a profoundly sacred plan to bring to the world noble human beings in future generations. The parrots of today at Shuka Vana are personally spiritually energized, trained and nurtured with virtuous qualities and spiritual insights so that when they are reborn as human beings shortly, they will become leaders in spirituality, various arts, various professions, and even politics. This is a mega plan that is mind-boggling, to create a bright, new, peaceful world in the future.. Jaya Guru Datta 

I am so happy to see these birds safe in India.

It's really moving just how much this guy obviously cares for those birds from the way they completely trust him... but looool, that cockatiel on the right at 17:34

Today's birds will be our future siblings, children, grandchildren, friends, relatives, colleagues, service professionals in society, and leaders of the world. That is why it is so important to feed them, care for them, cure them, protect them, teach them, and love them. Jaya Guru Datta 

It is  a remarkable achievement to establish India's premier rehabilitation center for birds in short span of time so well and treat so many  birds and save so many species. It is only possible for Sri Swamiji.

We all should work to protect them against evil people!!!!!I I want to work with you to protect them and let them free without been threatened !Blessed uthe Lord of them!!!!!!!

Parrots are more loyal than human beings, more disciplined, more self-controlled, certainly more colorful, and jovial. Jai Shuka Vana.

Usually when people think of India its all about dirty streets, old temples, curry and sarees. Never would one think about a rehabilitation centre for birds. What's exciting about this is that there are many tourists who visit india for nature and wildlife. This facility is in Mysore which is excellent for tourists. they can visit this facility and see so many species without the hassle of longs hikes etc. Here's a new reason to visit india...to take part in whats going to be a HUGE deal internationally. The sacredness of seeing a baby bird hatch from its egg or see and hear beautiful parrots flying overhead...such a wonderful thought

ఆహా ఎంత అద్భుతమైన అందమైన పక్షులు! ఎంత వినసొంపాన అప్పాజీ వారి నాదం! ఎంత అపురూపమైన సేకరణ! ఎన్నిసార్లు చూసినా పదే పదే చూడాలనిపిస్తోందనటంలో అతిశయోక్తి లేదు. అప్పాజీ వారికి సదా కృతజ్ఞులం. ఈ వీడియోని అందించిన SGS Birds వారికి అభినందనలు

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, the parrots love this man, and you can see he loves them, parrots are very intelligent beings, loving and caring, and very responsive to human interaction, i have a Quaker parrot , and a golden mantled rossela parrot, the. rossela has taken me seven years for her to sit on my hand, strange little thing, but the quaker Marley just loves to sit on my shoulder and just be himself with me, What a nice man this guy is, and what a beautiful aviary, i wish,

NATURE is GOD itself. Helping is Holiness.

Jaya Guru Datta. I'm proud to say that Shukavana has one of the largest collection of parrots in India. It is because of Pujya Appaji's love and compassion for these endangered birds that today, Shukavana stands majestically in the serene environment of Datta Peetham. Shukavana also has an exclusive hospital to take care of birds that are injured or birds with deformities or any other bird related problems. My humble pranams to Pujya Appaji, under whom a group of dedicated volunteers work hard to keep these magnificent birds healthy and happy.

With a glance, a word, a touch, and some delicious food prasadam - Sadguru Sri Swamiji changes the nature of thousands of devotees worldwide from impatient to patient, intolerant to tolerant, sad to happy, selfish to unselfish, greedy to generous, and ignorant to wise. He does the same thing to birds, mostly parrots, which turn friendly from scared, mild from wild, and trusting from suspicious. These birds will soon be reborn as humans, perhaps as our own children, grandchildren, or children of friends, with these decent and noble qualities acquired through Sadgurudeva's grace. What a wonderful future for the world Swamiji is creating with this amazing project called Shuka Vana! It is most incredible and divine. Jaya Guru Datta 

A parrot is eternally blissful and free spirit can never be confined. Seeing the birds fly, we all desire to fly.

శకవనం అద్భుతంగా ఉంది. ఆరోగ్యవంతమైన పక్షులకు ఆటపాటలు, అనారోగ్యంగా ఉండే పక్షులకు ఔషధాలు, అంగవైకల్యంతో బాధపడే పక్షులకు ఆసరాను కల్పిస్తూ, ప్రేమ, కరుణ కలబోసి, శ్రద్ధతో పెంచుతున్న శ్రీ గణపతి సచ్చిదానంద స్వామీజీ వారికి నమస్కారములు.

As soon as stepping into Shuka Vana, we are reminded by the beautiful fish, that we once were swimming in the waters as they do now. At the next step, we see that we were birds with feathers and wings not too long ago, and the trees and skies were our home. The beautiful forest-like setting refreshes the mind like no other place on earth. No wonder that all rishis of yore chose to live and meditate in forests. Jaya Guru Datta 

Swamiji Sri Ganapathy Sachidananda Helper of Humanity started Shuka Vana with Unceasing Love Kindness Overflowing Adorations growing and appreciated beyond measure Voice of Birds, Mankind and Nature A Home for Rehabilitation No longer destitute but protected And Divine Consciousness growing

My baby loves this video, she likes the colorful birds, greenery and the soothing music. She puts a smile watching this video. I am sure she must be loving these birds. This is my go to video to calm my baby.

Human civilization is incomplete without birds.  Very happy to see such beautiful parrots in this free flight aviary.
