Guest guest Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 THE CENTER FOR DHARMA STUDIES (CDS) Omaha's Dharma Ashram with a Global Mission http://dharmacentral.com/ashram.php Be a Friend of Dharma Today! Since the very first time that Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharyaji began his teaching mission as the Resident Acharya of the Hindu Temple in Omaha two years ago, he has always mentioned to his students that the Omaha/Iowa area was destined to become one of the most important centers of Dharma culture, education and practice in the nation. " Omaha? " many of us thought curiously at the time. Well... Today, as a direct result of Sri Acharyaji's presence in Omaha for the last two years, Omaha finally has a large and thriving Dharma community for the very first time in this area's history, and Sri Acharyaji's prediction about the future of Dharma in Omaha is now on the verge of becoming a concrete reality! By God's grace, and under the qualified guidance of Sri Acharyaji, we will be establishing a large teaching center and ashram in the Omaha area by this Fall that will serve as a one of a kind, globally renowned resource facility for the dedicated study and practice of pure and authentic Sanatana Dharma. Designed to serve both the local Hindu community, as well as be a preferred destination for Dharma students from throughout the world, all of Sri Acharyji's classes, satsangs, Hindu Youth Celebration events, and seminars will be shifted from the Hindu Temple of Omaha to our new ashram. In addition, the center will host seminars, talks, and workshops by many of the world's leading Dharma teachers; house one of the nation's best Sanatana Dharma libraries; as well as operate a natural health facility and school offering such traditional Hindu healing modalities as Ayurveda and Yoga. The initial first-phase goal is to purchase a home in the Midtown area of Omaha. We are currently seeking, at the minimum, a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom building, with a large gathering space on the ground floor. Our capital budget for the purchase and remodeling of the building is $200,000, with the immediate goal of raising $50,000 by November 25, 2009. Please see the Center for Dharma Studies Business Plan for more details. http://dharmacentral.com/ashram.php How You Can Help Our new Dharma center/ashram can only become a reality with your practical commitment to providing the donations necessary for the initial purchase and monthly upkeep of the ashram.
