OUR PURPOSE
Haritachala Organics is a non-profit initiative founded by a devoted team of spiritual seekers and volunteers, as a sincere offering of love, devotion, and gratitude to our Gurus: Sri Shirdi Sai Baba and Sri Sainathuni Sarath Babuji.
Located on Girivalam Road at the sacred foothills of Arunachala in Tiruvannamalai, India, Haritachala is more than just a farm - it's a living expression of spirituality, community living, sustainability and empowerment. We offer high-quality, organic, and wholesome products.

100% of proceeds directly support Haritachala, our Sai Baba temple, spiritual retreats, our biodiverse organic farm, and the livelihoods of rural women.
Inspired by our connection to Haritachala, we blend our love for healthy living, sustainability, baking skills, and design skills in joyful service, crafting each product with Baba and Guruji's blessings to nourish body and soul.
Our Inspiration
Sri Shirdi Sai Baba
"Have faith and patience. Then I will be always with you wherever you are and at all times."
— Saibaba of Shirdi
Sri Sainathuni Sarath Babuji
"If you have a talent, it is a gift from Baba. Make it an offering to him, which will be a means of remembering him. It is both an expression and an experience of Baba."
— Sri Babuji
Pujya Ammagaru
Pujya Ammagaru — our beloved Ammamma — is a living symbol of pure devotion, pious living, and unencumbered joy. Her life has been offered entirely at the feet of her Guru, and through her presence we glimpse what devotion looks like when it becomes one's way of being — natural, effortless, and unwavering.
Ammagaru is endlessly encouraging — she urges us forward, invites us to dream, to try, to trust. With wisdom she offers thoughtful feedback, guiding us with clarity and compassion. She is fiercely loving and unwaveringly supportive of the bakery efforts. She shares her creativity and ideas with such generosity that we often find ourselves inspired to think beyond our limits.
With Ammama's love behind us, the bakery feels like a blessing in motion — more than a project, it becomes an offering of gratitude. Her blessings are the foundation on which we walk, and her example reminds us that work becomes worship when done with love.

How We Work
Rooted in our love for Haritachala and guided by the blessings of Baba and Guruji, we approach everything we do as an act of joyful service.
Our small team, spread across the world but united in spirit, brings together diverse skills—from growing to baking to designing to packaging. We meet twice a week on Google Meet to collaborate as a team and bring our ideas to life. These meetings are not just about work—they're a space to strengthen our friendships and nurture our shared spirit.
Every product is handcrafted in small batches using simple, high-quality ingredients, with care, integrity, and creativity in every step. We strive to make each item feel personal, thoughtful, and full of heart.
The Giggling Geckos
Haritachala Bakery began with a group of us who met at a summer camp at Haritachala in 2023—fondly known as the Giggling Geckos. What started as friendship and laughter has grown into a shared passion for creating and giving back.
