Advait – Civilizational Wisdom

Advait has been the guiding light to Bharat (India). Beyond the constraints of land or any philosophy, Advait simply stands for understanding oneness of consciousness, soul, mind and body, despite their different natures.

Extended to humanity and universe, it guides us to view our interconnectedness and then the purpose of the life cycle, beyond the illusions and pressures of the material nature.

To understand what Bharat stands for, seeing through the beauty and power of its culture and civilization, one needs to understand the expressions of Advait in a simple, day to day life. Then in practices, festivals, happiness.

Advait, Bharat, Consciousness, Shaktipeeths, and inner happiness are all so intertwined and indistinguishable, that one will lead to another.

Discussions in Manthan camps ,often start delving deeper into it and also into dualism and its world. The simplicity and easiness of the discussions, so that they relate to daily lives, has been the beauty of Manthan camps.

Power within Self

A person awakened to consciousness, feels an inner power that keep one unaffected by illusionary or material influences. The source of this is often passed as some saintly motivation by observing folks. But the two are very different.

The knowledge that we are connected to consciousness, and have a universe full of shaktipeeths, beings and energies, as a family and guide and destination, is a sobering power. One that keeps us pursuing the true purpose of this life, without any attachment to results, as we already know the purpose may be very different from the result – even hidden from all our thoughts. Just like say one gets a call to attend to a needy stranger, and goes for it. Irrespective of the outcome of this act, it happens that some other chance meeting is there and the call was just a medium.

The Manthan program has focused on all aspects of awakening the power within self: Understanding the current world and its motivations; understanding Bharat where consciousness, culture, knowledge have come together harmoniously; understanding the footprints of consciousness and discovering one’s call; and understanding the shaktipeeths, beings and energies around us on this journey.

Harnessing Shaktipeeths (Energy Points)

A question that comes very often in all our Manthan Camps is how to quickly bring back the human society to a conscious state?

The current world system, with its illusions, materialism, tools like unhinged money printing, seem all too powerful.

Yet, when we look at humanity, we find that a lot of good remains – from belief in nature and healing to ability to prioritize greater causes over oneself. This is hidden consciousness at work.

Just like the chapter ‘Scouring for the Shire’ in JRR Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings, our culture has left lots of seeds and thriving trees of Shakti (conscious energy), which can be called upon to reenergize the humanity.

When we look at Bharat (India), we find them everywhere. In modern times, there importance has been lost, and even eyes only see them through illusions. But whenever a person is ready to see, they appear. And learning how to invoke them so that humans respond to their call , have been many of our experiences.

Manthan masters have this duty also – to awaken folks to these Shaktipeeths, so that the thread of knowledge thickens and is ready when required.

Manthan Camps for Children

Children are most exposed to false narratives; illusions created by structured school information, and are lead into beliefs, choices that will affect them for very long.  At the same time, this also requires reducing their learning from other systems, nature, observations, and intuitive insights.

Hence, it is very important that they develop an eye that sees beyond the illusions, and are able to see where a point of view is coming from. And making them self aware of all the other learning systems.

Since, children learn most easily from nature and situations, the Manthan Camps for Children are planned accordingly,  and a easy mix of play, discussions and activities, with the objectives of first opening them up to Bharat, the nature and their own abilities, and then learning paths.

Manthan Camps for Youth

The Manthan camps are most important for youth as the quest opens up in this age. Apart from the Manthan Camps, where there is usual predominance of youth, we also have the Karma (Action) Path groups, and the Self Discovery Program for living in our Manthan Center in Aranyaani forest for sometime, which aids self discovery, where self is gradually strengthens and becomes aware.

The objective is that youth understands and feels the power of Bharat, the magic of consciousness and the guiding the kutumb or oneness behind them.

Manthan Camps for Healing

Nature and Consciousness are the best and rapid healers. We lose a lot of time, energy and confidence, just because we are not aware of how to tap into them. That is why, Manthan Camps, and living in Manthan Centers, are also a step to an awakened living.

Apart from that, Manthan has a large number of people who practice natural healing, traditional therapies, and have deep knowledge of different facets of Indian Wellness system.

In Chandigarh Manthan sessions, Dr. Riddhi also covers Natural birthing, Conscious pregnancy, humanizing the healthcare system, and helping those who want to understand.

In Pauri Manthan center, traditional healing method of Himalayan Vaidyas, is being delivered for those suffering from asthma due to pollution, and stress.

More such efforts are being promoted through Manthan programs.
