When is Kartik Maas 2026 and when is my seva performed?

Kartik month (Damodar masa) runs from 26 October to 24 November 2026. Your seva is offered during the month's daily worship at Hare Krishna Vaikuntham, Gambheeram, with sankalpa in your name.

Will the sankalpa be taken in my name?

Yes. Enter the name the seva should be offered under in the 'Sevak name' field at checkout — you can give your own name, a family member's, or the name of someone you wish to offer it for. The gotra is taken along with it.

Do I get an 80G tax exemption receipt?

Yes, all donations to Hare Krishna Movement India are eligible for 80G. Tick the 80G option at checkout and enter your PAN; the exemption receipt is issued against that PAN and sent with your donation receipt.

How will I receive my receipt?

Your receipt is sent to your WhatsApp number as soon as the payment is confirmed, usually within a minute. If it has not arrived in ten minutes, call us on the number above and we will resend it.

Can I offer more than one seva?

Yes. Complete one seva, then pick the next from the list — each is recorded and receipted separately, so you get a separate 80G receipt for each.

Can I pay by UPI or bank transfer instead?

Yes. Use the UPI card on this page, or the NEFT/RTGS details below. For UPI and bank transfers, please WhatsApp us a screenshot with your name, mobile, address and PAN so we can issue your receipt against the right donor.

Is there a minimum donation?

Yes, the smallest donation we can accept is Rs. 100. Below that the payment-gateway and receipting costs leave nothing for the seva itself.

Offer a seva and your sankalpa is made in your name.
