Our Founding Members

With the blessing of Paramahamsa Vishwananda and according to his wish, Śuka – The Animal Paradise was brought to life as a sanctuary dedicated to the protection and care of animals and to sharing the message of Ahimsa.

Our founding members came together to help turn this wish into reality:
