Satguru sri Sivanandamurty chose to lead the rest of his life in Bheemunipatnam,a small village on the eastcoast near Viskhapatnam. He had built a small house in a mango groove for his personal residence and named it as “ANANDAVAN “. As some his followers wanted to settle and live with him Anandavan was formed in to a private lay out later. The visitors to Anandavan are guests at guruji’s residence as there is no institutionalized organization or Ashram at Anandavan.
