“That which exists is one: sages call it variously.” – Rigveda, I. 164. 46. –
Advaita philosophy: Brahman is the supreme reality. The world is apparent, like a water in a mirage. The real nature of the individual soul is divine but that divinity is covered by ignorance. It is due to ignorance that human beings limit themselves and think that they are men or women, Indians or Americans, healthy or sick, beautiful or ugly, rich or poor, learned or illiterate, happy or unhappy, etc. Actually they are the infinite, eternal, blissful Self. Human beings are hypnotized by maya, illusion; one has to dehypnotize oneself in order to be FREE. Do this either by work, or worship, or psychic control, or philosophy; by one, or more, or all of these – and BE FREE. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details.
Advaita Ashramam, Nanniode, is being built as NARDC’s CSR initiative at Nanniode PO, Palakkad District, Kerala, India – 678534.
Dedicated to Advaita, the key focal areas of the Ashramam for now include but are not limited to:
I) SELF TRANSFORMATION MOVEMENT
Transform Yourself and You Transform The World
The transformation of the world is brought about by the transformation of oneself because the self is the product and a part of the total process of human existence. To transform oneself, self-knowledge is essential; without knowing what you are, there is no basis for right thought and without knowing oneself, there cannot be a transformation.
