Introduction
A
note of explanation and welcome
Every
nation is proud of its heritage. What constitutes the heritage is
the important thing. It is reflected in the quality of life,
material and spiritual. The culture of a nation need not be held
sublime simply because its heritage reaches out to the present from
time immemorial. The human values, which are congenial to the Will
of God alone, can stand the test of time.
Every movement spiritual or
material professes to uphold some ideal that contributes to human
welfare. Most of such movements in human history have flourished for
some time and floundered subsequently because of its inherent
drawbacks. Their failure to achieve the targets and to sustain the
noble effects of the guiding ideology can be attributed to the lack
of good fortune. (Good fortune is the noble result of good Karma).
India has the moral obligation
to lead the world in spiritual matters. Her long history bears
testimony to the fact. The responsibility of correcting the
spiritual error of 25 Chathuryugas back and establishing a fresh
world order according to the Dharma of Kaliyuga devolves upon India.
The
Santhigiri Ashram is a movement embracing all human
actions, spiritual, material and cultural, setting up the standards
for everything in the light of universal love and grace of God.
NavajyothiSree Karunakara Guru,
the Founder Acharya has taken into consideration the human prospects
in all its relevance and potentiality for shaping the future of the
world strictly in accordance with the grace and Will of God for
which strict adherence to Yuga Dharma is one among the important
pre-requisites.
While Guru's graceful
consideration encompasses the full spiritual richness, He loves
pleasing simplicity in His personal life. His present abode is an
example of simplicity. His disciples and devotees wished to
construct a Parnasala (hermitage) of lasting endurance symbolic of
the ideology expounded by Guru. Guru gracefully accepted this
suggestion and assigned the name, "Sahakarana
Mandiram" (The house of co-operation) for the proposed
edifice. The name signifies the co-operation of all the members of
the human society in line with God's Will and grace. Such
co-operation will nourish and cherish the inherent quality of the
human soul. The building will be symbolic of everything pure and
sublime and will be the inexhaustible source of all the ideals of
goodness and goodwill. Eminent men of thought and learning who will
be the cultural and national leaders of the future will assemble
here to discuss matters of spiritual and material relevance. Their
journey to this place will be literally a pilgrimage and the
assembly will be ideal Sathsangom for upholding the holy dictum of
human welfare spiritual and material.
In the light of the above
it follows that this will be symbolic of the most significant
spiritual heritage of humanity for the present and for the ages to
come. It is the rightful privilege of every soul to visit the Ashram
to know more about the abode of love and grace.
