Shuka Vana ~ Rehabilitation Centre for Birds

- His Holiness Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji's deep concern for the preservation of our environment has manifested itself in Avadhoota Datta Peetham, Mysore as Kishkindha Moolika Bonsai Garden, Ashwashala (Horse stables), Goshala (Cow shelters) and Shuka Vana (rehabilitation centre for birds).
Parrots are not just agreeable birds with their chirping sounds and attractive, vivid colors. Parrots have a specific spiritual connection with the nine planets (Navagrahas), the twelve zodiac signs (Rasis related to birth stars), the numerals of the dates in each month, and the seven musical notes Sa, Ri, Ga, Ma, Pa, Da, Ni (Saptaswaras) in Indian classical music.
With divine intuition, Sri Swamiji has identified sets of species of parrots that represent each of the above as its vibrant, living, breathing, visible presiding deity. Seeing these divine parrots and providing them nourishment, shelter, and care enhances good fortune and heightens positive energy. The parrots are related to each of us either by representing our birthdate, zodiac sign, or the planet or musical note that stimulates us.

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.
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
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
Tears come to my eyes to see the plight of injured birds. I thank swamiji for this wonderful facility that preserves not only birds that are endangered but also the birds that are injured.
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
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.
Jaya Guru Datta
Jaya Guru Datta! Yes, one must visit...
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!!!!!!!
I am so happy to see these birds safe in India.
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.
Swamiji's love and compassion for the birds has no limits. The story of flight is an example. No where can you see a place where birds are taken care of so well. Thanks to Appaji for Shuka Vana..
పక్షుల పునరావాస కేంద్రాన్ని ఏర్పరచి, ప్రేమానురాగాలను పంచటం ఒక వరం.
ఇలాంటి అద్భుతాన్ని మేము చూడగలగడం మా అదృష్టం.
ఆ చిలుకలతొ ఆటలు ఆడుతూంటే బాధలే గుర్తుకురావు.
ఇంత గొప్ప శుకవనాన్ని మాకు అందించిన శ్రీ స్వామీజీ వారికి అనేకానేక నమస్కారములు.
How wonderful it is to watch Sri Swamiji feed the birds so lovingly! They seem to have a very special relationship.
Shuka Vana has a very good facility for rehabilitation of birds.
Hats off to the dedicated volunteers and doctors of Shuka Vana.
Jaya Guru Datta
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
When you visit places like Shuka Vana, it opens your eyes and tells you as to how little we know about things and other beings that are right around us, and that we see and work with on a daily basis. My visit to Shuka Vana taught me a lot about birds and I encourage every human being to get to know more about these wonderful beings.
if I ever got the opportunity to visit Shuka Vana, I would never leave. And I'd probably cry on His Holiness' shoulders a LOT. Bless that man.
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
Quite true! I agree with this and no longer destitute or in harm's way Shuka Vana and Sri Swamiji have made this Rehabilitation Centre a true sanctuary for the Shuka Vana birds that reflects and personifies unceasing love and tranquillity.
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
All the sounds of all the parrots, as I walked through Shuka Vana today, was like music to me. A healing music, a therapeutic healing session for my stressed, strained nervous system. Stressed and strained from the daily routines and demands of this fast paced world. It is a great place to visit, reflect and relax.
This man is so full of love and compassion he makes me want to go there and kneel at his feet. Why can't the whole world have this approach to animals? If all creatures were protected ( and not eaten and abused) our planet would heal.

It is a great privilege to live in such a wonderful environment where hundreds of divine birds are being taken care of in the world's best aviary. Thank you Sri Swamiji for giving such a great opportunity and thanks SGS Birds for posting such a wonderful documentary.
This is a rare and happy place.
This place takes you back into time when sages and hermits lived in the forests in harmony with nature. The chirping of the birds is a soothing and calms down the disturbance in the mind.
Jaya Guru Datta to Sri Swamiji for giving us such a rare opportunity to view and interact with such beautiful birds.
I had been to Shukavana on my recent visit to India, there are so many birds in the aviary and amazed by the cleanliness being maintained which is so important for the birds, should really appreciate the volunteers taking care of Shukavana
These birds are getting closer and closer to my heart the more I watch this video again and again. And the easyness of Sri Swamiji is truly amazing. He seems to be enjoying very much to interact with the birds.
Sukhavana is the best bird sanctuary in India and it has rare collection of wonderful species of birds. Sukhavana houses injured birds also. There are different units for Sukhavana among which one of them is Nirivana. The facilities which are provided by Appaji for the injured birds is unique and very different from the facilities that are provided by different aviaries. The dedicated team of doctors and volunteers are always on their toes and help in improving the condition of the injured birds. It is first of its kind to have rehabilitation centre in India. It is a visual treat to see Appaji personally feeding all the birds. One who enters Sukhavana will have an amazing experience of seeing free flight birds and feeding the birds is another treat. After experiencing the thrill in Sukhavana, one can go to toy shop and buy the mementos. Sukhavana is the place to be visited frequently. I thank Pujya Appaji for giving us Sukhavana, the beautiful World of Birds.
Jaya Guru Datta Padma Gosala ! Thank you for the wonderful narration.
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,
Those people are super nice with those birds..
Thank you god for what you did.....
Thank you to Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda for buildimg such a wonderful place called Shuka Vana. This beautiful free flight bird aviary built on 1 acre of land is a heaven on earth to the bird that live there. These birds are so well trained and very intillegent. Some of them can even talk in five different languages. Most beautiful birds.
The place where this is located is ideal for birds, the weather, the temperature, the park, the trees, waterfall. I could see these birds fly so freely and are very calm. Feel so nice to see centers like these caring for birds.
Jaya guru datta
Sri rama jaya rama jaya jaya rama
The huge number of varieties of birds can be seen in the shukavana.
Sri guru datta
Human civilization is incomplete without birds. Very happy to see such beautiful parrots in this free flight aviary.
Sri Ganapati Sachchidananda Ashram, which is one of my best known place I have ever been. For the past 25 years, I experience, watch, participate, and even get astonished by the way the projects and events occur in the presence of His Holiness Sri Ganapati Sachchidananda Swamiji and His Holiness Sri Datta Vijayananda Teetha Swamiji.
'Shuka vana', one of the biggest aviary in India shows the vision of Sri Swamiji towards the living creatures of this world, especially toward birds - parrots. One may think in a negative way about this mega structure for birds, this shows the compassion HH Sri Swamiji has towards the birds and other animals other than Humans. The compassion 'Appaji' (as we all call HH) showers on us is inexplicable. One should experience. No words to describe. Now seeing this aviary, just imagine the care HE takes on US (humans) by just looking at the care taken for Parrots and other animals.
This is an example which describes HH Sri Swamiji as a Jagadguru, who only can take care of all the creatures in this world.
May His chiocest blessings shower upon us.
shuka vana is an amazing and peaceful place i hope it inspires many other people spritiually and emotionally
Who ever have parrots as their pets know how difficult it is to teach them to talk. Sri Swamiji's love and dedicaion towards teaching these lovely birds to talk is really amazing.
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
Just observing the beautiful interaction with Sri Swamiji with the birds, the staff with the birds and visitors with the birds is such a wonderful experience.
Such a calm feeling, such soothing sights, I am truly convinced Shuka Vana is not only a bird sanctuary it's also a human sanctuary.
Can't wait to visit once more!
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
I was so touched to see those injured birds being treated and cared for, I always used to wonder about injured birds, how they get help. Feel a sense of comfort knowing there are centers like this that care for these birds and help them revive back to its nature.
Appaji’s influence upon me has truly broadened my outlook towards my surroundings. Thank you Appaji! Thank you Shuka vana!
I love the way Kali waves good bye, synchronizing foot waving so perfectly with the enunciated words.
Thank you for doing all this for the hurt parrots and i thank you so many times for this thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you again and thank you again for ever.
After watching macaws following swamiji through the walkway, it reminds me that if we follow the path shown by Guru with out distractions, we will reach our destination definitely and quickly too.
very true !
Jai guru datta
Jaya Guru Datta !!
His Holiness commitment to the cause of birds, their care, and his dedication to save the endangered and critically endangered species is infinitely commendable. Hats off to you Sri Swamiji. You go Shuka Vana!
The serene and the rich greenery surrounding, motherly affection and attention these birds get here is really healthy in all ways for their protection, safety and preservation. When I was watching these birds get fed, fly freely and get back and get fed again, I remembered by childhood days when we used to run around after one handful of food from mom and come back and get the next. It was very nostalgic and touching for me to see that motherly love and affection that all these parrots are getting. Lucky them.....
A tribute to nature! So glad to see that gods creations are being cared for and protected.
The dedication of the doctors attending to the tiniest of birds is praiseworthy. every bird getting its due attention. The feeding areas and the diets are varied and numerous. the happiness of the birds is visible and their respect towards their mentor - Sri Swamiji is also very visible. The birds are so well mannered and disciplined. They patiently wait for their turn to be fed. The Shukhavana is an amazing world of Birds.

over 1000 birds at this center.... if you have not been ...like me, can you imagine taking care of that many birds? it really is a remarkable establishment !!! i hope this always continue !!
O my god !!! I really admire the way these beautiful parrots eat. So adorable..I feel blessed watching this video
I have a parrot at home. A yellow napped amazon. When I saw so many amazons in Shuka Vana, I was so thrilled. These are wonderful beings. Swamiji’s love for these birds is simply superb! His Holiness is out of this world, indeed!
The magnanimity of Swamiji shows his eyes and in his actions. His love for these birds speaks millions about how we all have to share this planet for a peaceful coexistence and peaceful journey on this planet for generations to come. I see a message of love and sharing being conveyed through this video by Swamiji to the human race. We need more and more such undertakings to cure the mindsets of humans for a better tomorrow.
Wow! Such a magnificient bird sanctuary! Serene forest like and pollution free atmosphere, free flight, fresh and quality food & water, utmost medical care, nurturing & protecting endangered species, wide variety of birds, training given to birds, birds chanting divine names, specific birds for each day, graha, rashi & swara, spacious bird rooms, dedicated staffs & doctors for birds and last but not the least, personal attention and gentle care offered buly Sri Swamiji! What and what not! Birds cannot find a better place to live on this earth!
Birds learn via observation and imitation, so what bird learns depends on how much time and effort you are willing to put into their training. Great effort in this center for putting in the effort and time.
Thank you very much.i sure do enjoy this.
I felt a lot of love for the birds... and the music is simply wonderful and absolutely unique. Sri Swamiji is really amazing!
When I watch this video, it is so amazing to see these different birds with different mannerisms! They are almost like people! Learnt something new today. Thanks to Sri Swamiji and Shuka Vana.
Shuka Vana stands as an inspiration to us all to learn and grow. What do we contribute to society? How do we protect each other and animals? The hard work and tireless effort of this leader should motivate us all to give to society. Help each other. Care for animals.
Jaya guru datta, the birds in the shukavana are very cute. Sri guru datta
The first thing that caught my attention when I visited the Mysore Ashram for Datta Jayanti celebrations is the chirping and chanting of mantras by birds. There was a rhythm in the sounds they were making, like music! Words are insufficient to describe that unique experience. 'Shukavana', the aviary, is like a beautiful forest, but with world class facilities. There is ample space for the birds to fly around (their wings are not cut off to prevent them from flying), and they are protected well from outside dangers. The most touching part is the loving care given to the injured birds! Each and everyone of them is taken care of with love. And these birds mingle with us as if we are members of their family, welcoming us, greeting us.......Swamiji is a mother when feeding them, a small child when He plays hide and seek with them,a guide and master when they stand in total discipline waiting for Him. Yes, we can experience something beautiful and unique when we visit this place......Jai Guru Datta.
The before and after pictures of birds which came to the center in bad shape but then regained strength and health are heart warming. So glad they were saved!
Great treat to watch these beautifully colored parrots from across the globe at a peaceful, friendly caring center. Amazed to see some birds like pesquet's parrots, palm cockatoos, hyacinth macaws which I never even heard of.
I watched many parrots' videos on youtube, but first time came across a video in which parrots of sooooooooooo many species in huge number are there. Hats off to our Dear Appaji!!! Thanks a lot for this wonderful video.
Words are not enough to describe, the grace, discipline, purity, devotion and unconditional love these pure souls in the form of birds display in this most amazing Aviary built in Mysore Datta Peetham Ashrama !
Another place for the bird-lovers to get up close and personal interaction with colourful, feathered friends. It really is a delight to have these birds perch on your shoulder and take pictures with them! I liked the lorikeets and macaws exhibits. I found them very beautiful.
A parrot is eternally blissful and free spirit can never be confined. Seeing the birds fly, we all desire to fly.
very true
I have visited this Ashrama in mysore India and this aviary is another in a long list of social programmes highlighting compassion for people, animals and nature across India. There's the vagdevi school for the communication handicapped, in hyderabad there's a home for destitute women called ammavodi. There's even a hospital on site in mysore. Congrats to Sri Swamiji on yet another project to instil the right values in us all.
shuka vana is wonderful its great to see these birds flying freely in such an amazing and peaceful facility .
I think this is the first of its kind wherein the Lord himself is taking intense care of various Kinds & Types of parrots.
ShukaVana is also a destitute for orphaned parrots. Its a Heaven for Birds. Swamiji's love for these birds beyond Glory. Blessed are these birds who are protected, nurtured, loved, guided, trained and feeded by our ShukaBrahma Ganapathi Sachchidananda.
Jaya Gurudeva Datta
Birds are wherever we are. They are our companions. Birds are mediators between heaven and earth.
The people of India are very lucky to have this huge Aviary so close to them. Also there is so much to learn just by observing the motions at Shuka Vana. This place is so clean and visitor friendly we hope to revisit soon!
Datta Peetham renders great service to society by donating and constructing schools, hospitals, homes, etc. This year the bird park inauguration was done and they are also providing care amd rehabilitation for birds. I congratulate the leader's effort and love and wish continued success in all his projects.
One of my friend gifted me this music for meditation and healing with birds voice embedded, it was just amazing, and to know these very birds that we see here are the ones in that music. What a great benefit we are getting from these birds.
Wonderful aviary! I"m moved after watching this video! Such gentle and utmost care given to birds in Shuka Vana.....
I love to experience all the wonderful birds of Shuka Vana! The macaws and parrots are squawking away waiting on anyone to chat with. The cockatoos are only too ready to do the funny dance while the other birds keep chirping and tweeting! Hearing all this with the flow of cascading water in the background and the gentle movement of the greenery wafting in the breeze! What a pleasant environment for sick and injured birds to recuperate!
waw these bird are amazing they have me captivated , hypnotized by all of their bright and vast colours they are so wonderful and peaceful
Shuka Vana like the Mysore Ashram is an oasis of tranquility. A literal collection and fusion of man and nature. Beautiful beyond description!
Shuka Vana is not just about birds. It is about the future of the world. Jaya Guru Datta
Jaya Guru Datta Hira Aunty. You have first hand experience in this beautiful piece of heaven on earth. One day I hope Datta will help me to view it in person. Thank you for posting it. SGD
Jaya guru datta, the efforts that were Putin to take care of these birds is incredible. Sri guru datta.
Kudus to the entire team.
Thank you datta peetham for amazing and beautiful shukavana besides bonsai and museum
God bless these people :) They aare very beautiful and smart birds.
It is pleasantly surprising and innocently amusing to know how birds interact with you when you spend a little bit of time with them. They react much like the same way that humans beings do to other human beings. A wonderful place to visit.
Exotic birds and beautiful music with bird sounds! Relaxing indeed!
NATURE is GOD itself. Helping is Holiness.
Visiting Shukavana aviary is a truly rewarding experience for all the bird enthusiasts out there.
This lovely place has birds of several species. All colors, shapes and sizes.
Feeding the lorikeets ,watching macaws fly or listening to the parrots singing.. It's such joy.
But true happiness is seeing those sick and injured birds being nursed back to health. That's priceless. Thank you Sri Swamiji for the amazing Shukavana.
It is said that parrots are very empathetic and acutely sensitive to our feelings, attitudes and expressions. They know that you are happy when you smile and if you are upset when you frown. From this wonderful video made by His Holiness Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji we can see how attached these parrots are to him. They follow him around, they play hide and seek with him and even allow him to cuddle them like a baby.
It gives immersive happiness when we see so many parrots in one place. Colorful feather friends are so cute and very adoptive. Once you step in you will never feel going back, such an experience you will get. Shukavana a wonderful place.
You can tell these parrots love this man to bit's, I wish my White Fronted Amazon loved me as mush as your birds.
The connection between Swamiji and the birds is inexplicable. They have a language that while we can hear we don't understand. A clear bond of love.
Sri Swamiji’s work in preserving the rare species from the world’s parrot community, his love to rehab and care for the abandoned birds by other bird owners in the world shows his concern and compassion towards these beings. A Master indeed with a master piece of work!
i like the feeding of the birds, they are holding fresh fruit and all the birds so beautifully come to get there food. It must be so nice to feed the birds, a bonding will develop.
When watching the video, the photos taken before and after recovery totally got my attention. It was very impressive to see the recovery, their features grew back, wounds healed.
Best Bird Aviary in the world. Thw birds here are given state of the art medication and care. So many beautiful and brightly coloured birds all in one big free flight bird aviary. They are fed a balanced diet of fruits seeds and mixed nuts at different times of the day. They are taught to talk, sing and chant mantras in different languages. Most well trained birds I have ever seen.
Sri Swamiji's attention and compassion to birds, Free flight and rehablitation centre fr the needy birds are the main striking features which I like about shuka vana.
this place looks absolutely amazing. there need to be more places like this more unwanted and injured birds. wow. great job
Shuka Vana is Unique Place. This definitely looks like a Paradise for Birds and its real Feast to eyes. Watching these colorful feathered friends and Aviary.. Amazing!! No words could describe the feel I had in this wonderful place..Few things which excited me the most are Feeding birds, Interacting with birds, Hearing different Chirps, Taking Snaps with lots of Birds placing all over feeling the tickles,Zodiac Birds, Very Importantly one could see the love and Compassion towards disabled birds, thus the list just goes on... Many Many More experiences. This place is surely one of its kind which has so many things under one roof.. Hats off to the maintenance. Overall had a Thrilling experience.. Thanks a Lot HH Pujya Appaji.
I had the great opportunity of walking with Sri Swamiji in the aviary and it is mesmerizing to know that His Holiness knows the pet names of each and every bird that is there in the Aviary. That itself shows how much care and commitment His Holiness has towards these wonderful beings. Hats off to you Sri Swamiji!
Swamiji's love for these beautiful birds is so similar to the love he has for all off us as his devotees, his children!!!
Thank you for taking good care of all the sweet birds .i love birds.
Birds are sweet their sing ever day. Their does make me feel happy every morning and every day. Color does make you think of rainbow.
I really love watching these shuka vana birds videos it is quite relaxing and peaceful it puts you it a very relaxing state of mind, all your problems just seem to vanish
There are always lessons to learn in everything that swamiji does. The time Swamiji devotes for these birds and the care and concern He shows for them teaches us to care for the fellow creatures that share our planet and much more.
