But before we start, here’s a dose of positivity for you:
Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it
Now, let’s get started…
Let’s talk about business in spirituality
Ever wondered how places like Tirupati, Shirdi, or even ISKCON manage to pull in such massive crowds every day without running a single ad? I mean, think about it – no flashy billboards, no social media campaigns, and yet, they have people lining up in droves! It’s like they’ve cracked some secret code to brand-building, relying only on the power of faith, trust, and pure word-of-mouth.
Let’s chat about how these temples and ashrams have perfected this “brand strategy,” and what we can learn from them.
📌 Tirupati Balaji Temple
You know Tirupati, right? One of the richest temples in the world. People travel from every corner of India to get darshan of Lord Venkateswara. And they don’t even need to promote themselves – not a single rupee spent on ads. Devotees come, tell everyone back home about the experience, and soon, more people feel the urge to visit.
One of their “secret ingredients”? Tirupati laddus! These aren’t just prasad – they’re like a tiny piece of that entire experience. People cherish these laddus, share them, and the next thing you know, they’re telling their families to make that journey, too. This kind of word-of-mouth is worth more than any big marketing budget. That’s the power of creating an unforgettable experience.

📌 ISKCON
Ah, ISKCON – you’ve probably heard the chant “Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna…” at least once, right? ISKCON doesn’t advertise; they simply are. They rely on public kirtans, free books, and events that bring people into their world. And let me tell you, it works. ISKCON has centers across the globe, from Delhi to New York, and it all started with a handful of devotees and this powerful, magnetic message of love and unity.
Even in India, ISKCON has cafes, restaurants, and bookstores that draw people in – not just to promote their teachings but to share a little bit of their experience. It’s subtle, but it’s there. The movement has grown without traditional ads simply because it connects with people on a spiritual and cultural level.
📌 Isha Foundation
You must’ve seen Sadhguru pop up on your social media. This guy is everywhere, and yet, his foundation, Isha, doesn’t need to run ads. Sadhguru uses social media to share his teachings directly, in a very down-to-earth, relatable way. Whether he’s riding a motorcycle or talking about inner peace, he just clicks with people.
And the best part? People love sharing his videos and talks with their own friends and families. The buzz isn’t paid for; it’s built by followers who genuinely believe in his message. And when Isha hosts something big like Mahashivaratri, crowds come pouring in, all through word-of-mouth and the magnetic pull of Sadhguru’s unique personality.
📌 Golden Temple
Ever been to the Golden Temple in Amritsar? It’s a place where everyone is welcomed, served, and respected – no matter who they are. The Golden Temple’s brand is built on seva, the free langar where thousands of people receive meals every single day. And let’s be honest, where else do you find that kind of spirit and unity?
People who visit the Golden Temple return home with stories of this warm, inclusive experience. You won’t see billboards promoting it, but it’s known across the world, all thanks to those personal stories that people carry back. That sense of community is so strong, it draws visitors year after year, making it a brand that lives purely in the hearts of people.
📌 Shirdi Sai Baba Temple
Shirdi is another place that works purely on reputation. People don’t just visit for Sai Baba’s blessings; they come because of the stories their parents and grandparents have shared with them. For many families, it’s a tradition to visit Shirdi, all because of the tales of miracles and blessings they’ve heard from childhood.
The Sai Baba Temple doesn’t need ads because the stories carry forward naturally, from one generation to the next. The real magic here? Devotion. People believe, they share, and soon, everyone wants to experience it firsthand. It’s like Shirdi has become part of our culture – a brand built solely on faith and personal stories.
So, what can we learn from these “divine brands”?
Be authentic: No frills, no gimmicks. Just like these temples, people trust something that feels real. Focus on creating genuine experiences, and people will feel that connection.
Consistency is everything: Look at Tirupati or Shirdi – they’ve stayed consistent in their rituals and traditions. People know what they’re getting, and that builds trust. Be steady with what you offer, and people will come back.
Let your community do the talking: These places don’t run ads; they let devotees spread the word. Give your audience a reason to share their experience, and soon enough, they’ll be doing the “marketing” for you.
So, that’s it for today! See you next week 👋
