Your support will help us grow

Dear friends,

we are turning to you with a request to support our intention to buy the land near the Santikaram Forest Temple. This plot of land is key to expanding our activities, ensuring tranquility and providing space for meditation and personal growth.

Why is this land important to us?

1. Expansion of space: The new land will allow us to create multiple zones for meditation, meetings and various recreational activities. But above all, it will ensure that we maintain an oasis of silence around the temple. If the land was acquired by another buyer, he could cut down the trees, build a cottage for rent, and thus the environment of Santikaram Forest Temple would be significantly disturbed, which might eventually mean its demise.

2. Community support: By creating a pleasant environment, we will strengthen the community and gain more friends who are looking for a peaceful and harmonious environment.

3. Personal growth: With the new premises, we will be able to organize various courses, workshops and lectures for the larger community, which will contribute to the education and personal growth of not only our members and supporters, but also the wider public.

How can you help?

Every contribution, no matter how big or small, is very valuable to us. You can send your donations directly to the bank account of the association:

Name of the account: Santikaram Slovakia

Account number/IBAN: SK9611000000002948131901

Bank code (BIC/SWIFT): TATRSKBX

Message for the recipient: donation for land

All donation will be used to finance the purchase of the plot of land with an area of ​​2,452 m2, par. no. 771/8 registered at Title Deed 935 in the cadastral territory of Stránske, Žilina district.

The price of the land is set at 130,000 Euros. On March 29, 2025, the association signed a reservation agreement with the owners of the land, according to which it should conclude a regular purchase agreement no later than the end of June 2025. In the event that the association does not purchase the land by July 1, 2025, the owners will offer it to another interested party. The association has an approved loan in the total amount of 70,000 euros to finance the purchase of the land. Of course, it would be best if the association did not have to draw on any loan, so we are still looking for ways to resolve the situation. For example, such an option could be the entry of a second investor into the purchase of the land. This would mean that the association would purchase one half of the land and the investor would purchase the other half of the land, giving it to the association for use. If there is anyone willing to invest 65,000 Euros (50% share) in the land near the forest temple, please let us know as soon as possible.

In the case that the land cannot be purchased, the association will convene a General Assembly, which will decide how to dispose of your donations. There are several options (for example, the return of donations to individual donors), but all decisions will be within the competence of the General Assembly.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us at tel./WhatsApp no. +421 908 085 806 (Katka Marková) or by email at santikaram.slovakia@gmail.com. We will be happy to answer all your questions.

Thank you for your support and the kindness you show us. Together we can create a place where everyone feels welcome and where we can grow together.

With respect and thanks,

Team Santikaram Association Slovakia

THE LIST OF DONORS

A donor who does not wish his name to be published in the list of donors can send an email to the association (santikaram.slovakia@gmail.com) stating under which "pseudonym" he will appear in the list of donors on the website.

Names (or pseudonyms) in the list of donors will be listed according to the amount of the donation in ascending order, i.e. the donor with the highest donation will be listed first. In the event that one donor donates land more than once, his donations will be added to one total amount, so his name will appear in the list of donors only once, and according to the sum of all his accumulated donations, he will be promoted to higher positions.
