Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (Oneness)

Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam means that “The Entire World is One Family”.

In other words, it means that the entire world itself is our family , is a profound and simple, on how to envisage life, society, world. 

On an illusionary and material plane, where we now a day’s only find dualistic and exploitative systems , ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ shows us what kind of markets, societies, practicing values we should have for a happy planet.

Once we start seeing the guidance on illusionary and material plane, the power starts influencing our minds. The ability to feel consciousness at work, see the cultural practices emerging from it, and finding solution to seemingly complex worldly problems becomes plain and easy. 

Our centers , also known as ‘Kutumbakam’ , are places where we build this family – with each other, with nature and with humanity. 

In Manthan camps or programs – the beauty is this family.  Then beyond all differences, minds’ conditioning, the churn starts. 

 

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.

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.
