Our Story

With the generous donation of 3 Acres of Land, Sadhanarama Bana Vihara was established with the objective to promote, instill and strengthen Moral, Ethical and spiritual values in individuals, society and the world to promote a society of wisdom, compassion and gratitude. Since its establishment, it has come a long way from bamboo huts to beautiful buildings. Many developments are happening at the moment and all these developments are happening by the generous donations of the Lay people.

​When we turn the pages of the history of the Sadhanarama Bana Vihara, we learn that since its inception it has brought many social, economic and cultural changes in the society. Before the establishment, people were afflicted with the dreaded disease of Alcohols, gambling, fighting, raring of animals in the name of gods to bring good fortunes, blind beliefs, rites and rituals. Taking of alcoholic drinks, drugs and gambling made the people poor. With the comprehensive and continuous gift of dhamma, people abandoned those dreaded disease afflicting the society and there was drastic change in the Socio-economic, spiritual and cultural development.

​Life at Sadhanarama Bana Vihara centres around the Sangha, a Community of Monks and Lay Community.
