Spirituality & Culture
Spiritual knowledge is the means to attain real happiness, especially through realizing our true identity and thus become fulfilled by our real mission in life. It is also the means to attain a permanent blissful life after we leave this body. We will think that the happiness of this mind, body and senses is the complete goal of everything we are meant to do here in this world. Since happiness is always being interrupted by different forms of suffering, or stress, anxiety, worry, concern, and of course disease, old age and death, it is not our real identity, but it is forced on us from the beginning of simply having a material body. So we must realize who and what we are and regain our spiritual identity beyond the body we have, and also realize our connection with the Supreme.
Our Priorities
Spiritual Center
Spiritual centres will be developed for discussion on Spiritual and Vedic cultures. To build centres dedicated to promoting rich Vedic tradition, culture and knowledge gained over thousands of years and recorded in many forms.
Yoga Center
We have a deep-rooted belief that yoga can bring balance to your mental, physical and spiritual well-being. Our goal is to offer year-round yoga classes in a variety of styles and combined with other forms of fitness best practices. We strive to be a place where the yoga community can grow.
Knowledge Center
Most of the Older people are fully active after retirement. And in Knowledge and Experiences, they are at the peak of their life! Their knowledge will be shared through various seminars/workshops to transfer knowledge to the next generation.
Education Center
Residents can develop a Syllabus, Study Material for the purpose of establishing a gurukul education system in villages and local communities. We will also run Gurukul schools, coaching centres, music schools, dance schools, drawing schools, vocational schools etc in local communities.
Festival Center
Festivals are an expressive way to celebrate glorious heritage, culture and traditions. They give us a distraction from our day to day, the exhausting routine of life, and give us some inspiration to remember the important things and moments in life. Festivals were started to pass the legends, knowledge and traditions onto the next generation.
Sanskaras Center
According to Vedic tradition, the sanskaras are essentially the “rites of passage” that a person passes through in life – from conception to death. The sanskaras refer to the main religious/spiritual purificatory rites and rituals for sanctifying the body and mind. Each sanskara has a particular ritual and puja associated with it.
Kirtan
With roots in the Vedic anukirtana tradition, a kirtan is a call-and-response style song or chant, set to music, wherein multiple singers recite or describe a legend, or express loving devotion to a deity, or discuss spiritual ideas. Many kirtan performances are structured to engage the audience where they either repeat the chant or reply to the call of the singer.
Chanting
Chanting helps quiet the mind. Chanting and listening to chant have a profound effect on our consciousness. The repetitive sounds of chant vibrate in our brain, again and again, washing our minds, our own inner wavelengths gradually coming into resonance with the tone and feel of the musical prayer.
Prayer/ Meditation
Whether Meditation means reciting a prayer, practising a quiet moment of mindfulness, or listening to a guided meditation, setting aside a few minutes in the morning to connect with ourselves and set positive intentions will encourage a peaceful, grateful mindset for a successful day in line with your spiritual values.
Ganga Aarti & Yagna
Each evening as the sun’s last rays reflect off the boundless waters of Mother Ganga, we gather for Ganga Aarti. This divine light ceremony is filled with song, prayer, ritual and a palpable sense of the divine. Aarti is the beautiful ceremony in which Dias (oil lamps) are offered to God. Aarti can be done to a deity in the temple, it can be done on the banks of the Ganges to Mother Ganga, or it can be done to a saint. It is performed to God, in any manifestation, in any form, and by any name.
Annapurna Bhandaras
We have always been committed to providing for those in need. Whether it’s medical care for the sick, shelter for the homeless or food for the hungry, We are dedicated to the service of humanity. Hence, Bhandara is a regular feature at the ashram. Frequently when people perform sacred pujas or celebrate auspicious ceremonies, they also choose to follow that with a Bhandara to feed the needy. In those cases, large Bhandara are held.
Tree Plantations
To celebrate every holiday and event, we organize massive clean-ups of the local areas, collecting trash throughout the locality. In addition, we conduct daily clean-ups of Ashram surrounding area, serving as shining examples of environmentally-conscious youth and future. We also organize tree plantations throughout the nearby areas periodically throughout the year.
