Last updated: February 26, 2026
When you make a donation or book a seva (such as Maha Abhishekam, Makhan Mishri Seva, Jhulan Seva, Vastra Alankar, 108 Bhog Seva, Tulsi Arpan Seva, Annadana Seva, Vishesha Alankar Seva, or Gau Seva) on our website, we may collect personal information such as your name, address, email address, and phone number to process your contribution and confirm your seva.
When you browse our website, certain technical information such as your device’s IP address, browser type, and operating system may be collected automatically. This helps us improve your experience on the website and understand how devotees interact with our seva offerings.
If you have given permission, you may receive emails or messages about upcoming festivals, new seva options, updates, or devotional content.
When you provide personal information to complete a donation, book a seva, or receive a confirmation or receipt, it is understood that you consent to the collection and use of that information for that purpose.
If we request your information for any other purpose, such as sending festival updates or devotional content, we will ask for your clear consent, or give you the option to decline.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us through the details provided on our website.
We may use your personal information to respond to your queries, confirm your seva, send seva-related updates, and share devotional communications (only with your consent) through email, SMS, or messaging services.
Your personal information may be disclosed only if required by law, or if you violate our Terms & Conditions.
All donations and seva payments are processed through secure, trusted third-party payment gateways that follow industry-standard security practices.
Your payment information is encrypted during transmission and used only to complete your donation or seva booking. We do not store your card, UPI, or bank details on our servers.
All donations made through this website are voluntary offerings made in the spirit of seva to Sri Sri Krishna Balaram.
Once a donation or seva booking is confirmed, it is generally non-refundable, as the contribution is used for performing your chosen seva, prasadam distribution, food donation, or Gau Seva.
If a technical error results in duplicate or incorrect payment, please contact us within 7 days, and we will review and resolve the matter fairly.
Confirmation of your seva booking will be shared with you via email, SMS, or WhatsApp, along with any applicable receipt.
All donations received through this website are utilized by the Hare Krishna Movement to perform daily Vigraha Seva, support Food Distribution, and Cow Protection, in accordance with our devotional mission.
Donations made specifically towards Annadana Seva and Gau Seva are eligible for tax exemption under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961. A valid 80G receipt will be issued via email for these donations. Please note that ritual sevas such as Maha Abhishekam, Makhan Mishri Seva, Jhulan Seva, Vastra Alankar, 108 Bhog Seva, Tulsi Arpan Seva, and Vishesha Alankar Seva are not eligible for 80G tax exemption, as these are considered devotional offerings rather than charitable donations.
