Shar Gaden Monastery, Mundgod - Following the footsteps of Dorje Shugden - Part 3

Shar Gaden Monastery

With 600 Tulkus, Geshes, Masters and monks keeping the lineage alive, Shar Gaden is located in Mundgod South India. It is next to Gaden Monastery and 25 minutes away from Drepung. We can access this great institute via Bombay or Bangalore. From Bombay/Bangalore you may take train or Bus which is 8-10 hours to the nearest city of Hubli. From Hubli it is one hour away by taxi.

Since His Holiness the Dalai Lama has said that all Dorje Shugden practitioners must separate from the Monasteries and the general populace of non-Dorje Shugden practitioners in all ways, this monastery was formed. All Tibetans who do not practice Dorje Shugden may not have any association with those that do was the strict decree. As a result many tulkus, geshes, senior practitioners and monks had no choice but to sadly leave their respective monasteries out of respect for His Holiness Dalai Lama's decree. They gathered and joined to have Shar Gaden Monastery. Shar Gaden Monastery was not formed to counter or oppose His Holiness the Dalai Lama in anyway, but to have the freedom to practice as they have been from the instructions of their root gurus.

H.H. Kyabje Trijang Choktrul Rinpoche's ladrang has also joined Shar Gaden leaving Gaden Shartse Monastery, where his line of incarnations have been for hundreds of years. Domo Geshe Rinpoche also has joined.

This video shows Shar Gaden Monastery today alive with practice, debates, pujas, torgyas, and teachings. They have been ostracized by the whole Tibetan community who are not allowed to have ANY ASSOCIATION WITH THEM. We need to give them our support now to keep the lineage alive for future generations. Share this video with others. Shar Gaden's existence is hope, strength, light and practice exemplified. Its continuation offers us great encouragement.

Obviously Shar Gaden Sanghas are experts in doing many types of beneficial pujas such as Tara, Medicine Buddha, Dorje Shugden's various rituals, pujas, fire offerings, mandalas, Heart Sutra, Pelden Lhamo, Namse, Kalarupa, Mahakalas, etc. Wonderful to sponsor a puja for birthday, anniversary, death, marriage, special events, or just to clear obstacles for whatever plans you may have.

Do contact, support, visit and do whatever you can for our Sangha who wishes to practice their lineage as it has been done for 350 years now. It is the least we can do to help safeguard this holy lineage which is going through obstacles at this time but will shine forth bright in the future as predicted.

@karchemarpo i understand having pujas done for us is a good thing as we don't have the ability to collect huge amounts of merits in such a short time. But my question i have is when can we get pujas done, is it sneaky to order regular pujas because you can afford.

Whats the conditions?

Who to contact?

It is amazing that Shar Gaden has inherited the debating tradition of learning from Gaden Shartse. I can see many of these great scholars here. I am sure any of these great scholars could debate away the reason the Dalai Lama has given of the ban on Dorje Shugden. But they can't debate away the attainments and achievements of His Holiness. Hence, they don't openly protest the Dalai Lama.

We can support Shar Gaden by sponsorship of pujas for our loved ones which would benefit them and the monastery as well, which will also support the growth of DS practice. Do contact, support, visit and do whatever you can for our Sangha who wishes to practice their lineage as it has been done for 350 years.

Shar Gaden is a great refuge for practitioners who are willing to be ostracised for their faith in the Great King Dorje Shugden. The monks here have to rely on external support because the TGIE will NOT support them, yet they are doing well because of other sponsorship and helped by DS. DS will always help us if we do our work well and keep our samaya clean.

My sincerest prayers and best wishes to all sangha and practitioners at Shar Gaden monastery. It was a long and difficult journey but these monks remained firm and steadfast in their practice and their monastery is flourishing today. Dorje Shugden helps those who make sincere requests of him.
