Bodhimaggo Seva Sanstha
Practice rooted in generosity and care
On Nagpur’s Hingna Road, the name Bodhimaggo Mahavihar points to a place with a distinctly Buddhist monastic character, while the organization describes itself as non-sectarian. Bodhimaggo Seva Sanstha is affiliated with Maharashtra State’s Charity Commission, and Bhikkhu Bodhivineet is listed as both spiritual director and teacher. The address is in Issasani (Wagdhara), near the CRPF Camp, giving visitors a clear landmark for finding the site on the city’s outskirts. It runs by donation rather than advertising a fixed retreat price, which may suit travelers who value a practice setting organized around generosity. Details such as retreat dates, daily format, accommodation and meals should be confirmed directly before making plans. For a first enquiry, contact the center to ask what is currently open to visitors and what to bring.
