For K. Srivathsala, Hoovenakere is not a wellness trend, nor is it a corporate venture. It is a profound, lifelong spiritual promise. As the founder of Vandyam, her life has been dedicated to restoring the true essence of Sattvik living—untouched, uncompromised, and perfectly aligned with Vedic wisdom.
She envisioned Hoovenakere as a living sanctuary where nature is respected as divine, where the cows in our Goshala are treated as beloved family members rather than farm assets, and where the rhythm of agricultural life beats in total harmony with nature’s law.
Her philosophy governs every single day on the 3.5-acre farm: flowers picked in silence before the sun breaks the horizon, vegetables cultivated purely for physical and spiritual nourishment, and an absolute commitment to no onion, no garlic, no compromise.
From Channakeshavapura, Pavagada, Sheshagiri Rao carries both the soil and the science. His own family farm doubles as an advanced ecological research station in active collaboration with the prestigious Indian Institute of Science (IISc).
As the co-founder of Krishi Hrudya, Sheshagiri Rao has spent decades bringing real-time water intelligence and sustainable farming systems to thousands of farmers across India. His deep collaborations with top ecologists and rainfall scientists allow him to understand the invisible life of the farm.
“When the Kanva River marks your boundary and the land asks to be respected, you need someone who has spent a lifetime answering that call.”
At Hoovenakere, he ensures that K. Srivathsala’s vision of spiritual purity is backed by robust ecological design, supervising the closed-loop Pancha Bhuta farming techniques that restore the soil’s natural intelligence.
Hoovenakere thrives because it has both a heartbeat and a mind. Srivathsala’s spiritual path and Sheshagiri Rao’s ecological science unite to create an ecosystem of absolute integrity.
The absolute standard set by K. Srivathsala. No chemicals, no shortcuts, no onions, and no garlic. It is farming elevated to the level of puja (offering), preserving the divine frequency of every blossom and leaf harvested.
The scientific design implemented by P. R. Sheshagiri Rao. Utilizing IISc research practices, closed-loop composting, biogas systems, and precise river water management to prove that ancient Vedic methods are entirely scientifically sound.
