Bharat – Discovering the Magic

The following three images have valuable information on Bharat.

Beyond the narratives of geography, history, modern economy, structures, events and rituals, and habits, lies the magic of Bharat, which also means India for many.

Bharat is a flowing stream of Consciousness, Nature, Culture, Civilization and Knowledge, intertwined in a manner that one cannot be understood without the other.

Countless small habits, rituals, beliefs have come into practice out of their deep meanings.

The practices like bathing in rivers on Kumbh, Bhikshavritti, revering rivers, cows, etc., have come from awakening that understood shiva-shakti.

In Bharat Camps, we elaborately discuss the Bharat and its meaning, with many facets in the figure here. To an uninitiated seeker, this is a view that has come from lifetime of journey of discovery, and which has wisdom passed on from the continuous stream of gurus and custodians through ages.

In Manthan Camps, we see Bharat through inner quest, Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam and consciousness at work.

The Present World and Its Guiding Forces

As a lot of humans are realizing, we have gone too far in destroying nature, this planet , and societies. Even families have not been spared. And all this has been the direction of human mind.

Armed with industrial power, and ability to create more and more of illusionary world and artificial constructs, we at some point lost looking at consciousness and a connected universe as guide.

The mind–body duality, though neither possible nor natural, became a tool to direct human minds into getting occupied by illusions.

How various systems and structures have evolved to reach this point is often a subject in Manthan discussions. Understanding this is important for many folks as they are part of the existing systems and jobs, and are able to perceive that time for invoking deeper insights have come.

Late nights, sitting around wood fire, we have looked deeper into Socrates to modern day thinkers, and how a cumulative picture has evolved.

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.
