Jeevadhara Divine Centre, Warangal

Jeevadhara Divine Centre, Warangal is part of the Kristu Jyothi Ashram at Karunapuram. It is run by fathers of the Society of the Holy Spirit, which is headquartered at Hyderabad. Rev Fr Christu Raj SHS is the Rector of this institution.

The Founder

Inspired by Saint Arnold Janssen, Fr Christuraj, a young and aspiring priest, was saddened by the struggles of men and was determined to reach out to them. He fixed his eyes on Jesus his Master and, with prayer and fasting, headed towards his goal, his vision. He worked and visited various parishes and other places, where he found people everywhere in search of something. “Yes Lord, I will go!” said Fr Christuraj, and took up the mission of healing, deliverance and reconciliation. He went around spreading the Good News of Jesus on a two-wheeler. “Give us souls, Lord! Give us India!” was the cry in the hearts of a few more lay people who joined him over the years, their goal being that the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit should empower everyone on this earth.

The Ministry

The ministry at Jeevadhara Divine Centre involves a team of priests, religious and laity who include worship leaders, preachers and intercessors who organise and conduct retreats, conventions and special programs in and outside the Centre. With the increasing number of broken families, domestic violence and the like, many come to Jeevadhara Divine Centre looking for a solution for their problems and a way out of their sinful ways.

To minister to the needs of such persons, the Centre at Warangal has experienced and dedicated lay people and priests. They counsel, guide and help them triumph over their addictions and sinful ways and guide them back on the right path towards Jesus, our Saviour. During every retreat at the Jeevadhara Divine Centre, there is a special time set apart for people to avail this opportunity of getting counselled and make clear their purpose of living.
