The story behind Shyam Sadhu

A life that became a mission

Publicly known as Shyam Sadhu, his official name is Krishna Kumar Mishra. Based in Raebareli, Uttar Pradesh, he has spent decades caring for animals — feeding monkeys through the practice of Vanarbhoj, helping injured and abandoned animals, and carrying out environmental work including plantation and gardening.

Serving animals is equal to serving Lord Hanuman. — Shyam Sadhu
What he does

The Core Mission

Vanarbhoj

The feeding of monkeys, a practice closely associated with Shyam Sadhu's philosophy of service.

Vanarbhoj

Serving the living form of Hanuman

Vanarbhoj — the feeding of monkeys — sits at the centre of Shyam Sadhu's daily practice in Raebareli, alongside the environmental work that aims to restore the food and habitat that development has taken from them.

He travels regularly to Bhanvare Suran, a village near Nigoha, to feed the monkeys there — among them a blind baby monkey he found and now cares for at home.

Animal Seva

Every life matters

His work extends beyond monkeys to animals that are injured, abandoned or in need of care — met with attention and compassion as part of the same daily practice.

Environment

Caring for the world animals call home

Plantation, gardening and environmental awareness are part of the same practice — including the Geetanjali Herbal Garden, cultivated over decades alongside the animal seva work.
