How Vidyarambh Gurukula (Shri Varadanjaneya Swamy Gowsamrakshana Charitable Trust) collects, uses and protects your information.

Last updated: September 2026

1. Who We Are

Vidyarambh Gurukula is an educational initiative of Shri Varadanjaneya Swamy Gowsamrakshana Charitable Trust, Hanumadashrama, Shivapura, Shikaripura Taluk, Shivamogga, Karnataka — 577428 ("the Trust", "we").

2. Information We Collect

  • Contact details you share through enquiry and registration forms — name, phone number, WhatsApp number, email address, city.
  • Participant details for programs — a child's first name and age, provided by the parent or guardian.
  • Payment information is processed by third-party payment providers (e.g. Razorpay / TagMango). We do not receive or store your card or banking details.
  • Usage data such as pages visited, collected through standard analytics tools.

3. Children's Information

Our programs serve children aged 6–16. We collect a child's information only from and with the consent of a parent or legal guardian. Enrolment and all program communication happen through the parent or guardian. We never publish a child's name, image or story without written parental consent.

4. How We Use Information

  • To respond to enquiries and deliver the programs you register for.
  • To send program schedules, practice reminders, program updates and announcements about new programs and events — including on WhatsApp, where you have shared that number. You can ask us to stop at any time.
  • To improve our website and programs.

5. What We Never Do

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate (payments, messaging, hosting), and only to the extent needed.

6. Data Retention & Your Rights

We keep your information for as long as you remain in touch with the Gurukula, so that we can answer you and keep your program history. We do not delete it on a fixed schedule. You may ask us at any time to correct or delete your information, or to stop receiving communication, by writing to the email address below, and we will act on that request.

7. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time; the latest version will always live on this page.

Four Doors. Pick the Right One.

Most of what people write to ask is already answered on one of these pages, usually in more detail than an email would give.

Shivapura sits in Shikaripura taluk, in Shivamogga district, Karnataka. Hanumadashrama is beside the Shri Varadanjaneya Swamy temple. Visitors are welcome, but write first — Guruji travels, and an unannounced visit may find the ashram empty.

Write to Us

Say What You Actually Want. We Will Say Yes or No.

Long messages are welcome. A clear one is better than a polite one, and a specific question gets a specific answer.

Sends on WhatsApp, read by a person at the Gurukula. No automated calls, no list you did not ask to join.

Your message is on its way.

We have opened WhatsApp with your message already written out. Press send in WhatsApp and it reaches the Gurukula straight away.

Someone will read it and write back. If it takes longer than a few days, it is because Guruji is travelling.

Honestly

Things We Are Asked For and Do Not Provide.

Saying this here saves you writing and saves us replying.

Medical diagnosis or treatment of any kind
Predictions, readings or astrological guidance
Certification of another teacher’s method
Guarantees that a given child will demonstrate
Franchise or licensing of the programmes
Interviews arranged at short notice

If you are unsure whether your question belongs here, write anyway. A short honest no is better than silence.

Elsewhere

Walk With the Gurukula, Wherever You Are.

Demonstrations, parent interviews and teachings are posted as they happen.
