Dwija Anukkam July 2023-1
vanakkam
dwija (meaning second birth or twice-born and also an allusion to our
favourite raga Dwijavanthi) was born out of our quest for a
⌘
grounding life experience.
The farm lies within the Kaveri watershed and the cradle of Eastern
ghats. The region sees elephant movements and it is in the migration
path of birds and butterflies. We practise natural farming inspired by
the works of Nammazhvar G, Subhash Palekar and Masanobu

• All our meals are served in our common dining areas.
• Our home runs entirely on solar power and hence we don’t have
⌘
amenities like air conditioning, swimming pool, TV, or jacuzzi.
• Hot water for shower comes from a central system and hence you
first need to drain the cold water in the pipeline. Keep only the hot
water tap open and allow the water to drain until the water turns
hot. It might seem like a lot of water wasted, but it all gets recycled
in our grey water system.
