The Quest with Manthans

” I felt a gap that needs understanding and coverage, else a lot of folks you have interviewed in India would spend many years or even a lifetime in search for India within. And probably we need it faster for a better world.

The view how consciousness, philosophy, nature, culture are interwoven by a web of expressions, and why humans go beyond logic or intuitions while guiding themselves, is easy to understand but the existing prejudices, especially the ingrained dualism and material bias hinders that view. To add to it, we have lost a lot of material shaktipeeths to illusions and destruction, but the non material ones stand.

Often over years, as one searches, intuitively that view is being built in parts, but that one step to a different plane, to understand it holistically is still the quest. I found that it is so near and simple, yet gets obfuscated by the complexity of thoughts, and different institutions being the custodian of the complexity.  That is the gap.” 

Please see the following posts to understand our Quest with Manthan Camps, in different parts of India, with people from wide range of backgrounds.

Following are a few photos from our recent 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.
