School of enlightenment: a vision to create a place where people can learn, help each other to serve the community and find peace through yoga and meditation

Abstract

Us living in urban context often search for a place to go back to nature and relax. This is often done by visiting the rural areas. These rural areas need few developments to survive the growing population. the development needs to be such that it keeps the essence of the place but in the same time serve the community. By serving the local community and living within the nature a person can find inner peace .It is a place where people can come closer to nature in order to find one’s inner soul. The place will provide a space for people to meditate and find their inner strength and help to focus. It is a place where one can only revitalize his own soul, mind and his reflection of life through yoga and maintaining a regular fixed schedule. It adds a new dimension to life where one gets to explore and control over his/her own body and soul. It will be a way out from the stressful life to a counter point for self realization in forest or mountainous regions, amidst refreshing natural surroundings. It is a place for people to believe and hope. The complex contains educational and residential facilities for poor and needy children along with accommodation and spiritual spaces for the devotees along with other functions. The first and foremost intention of this project is to give hope to those people who need distance from this consumerist world and realize that luxury is not a necessity of life and that, habitation to the needy can be a huge contribution to the society.
