Inauguration programme STHITAprajnaRegistration STHITAprajna

Gita identifies the person with the True Human Nature by the Sanskrit name Sthitaprajna (Perfect Yogi). Sthita means stable, Prajna is mind, intellect, wisdom. Sthitaprajna is a person whose mind has stabilized. According to Gita, Sthitaprajna attains the Universal Wisdom and Eternal Peace by abandoning the illusory pain and sufferings. Lord Krishna’s ideal human being is Sthitaprajna who is not a religious person engaged in rituals. Whether he has faith in the Divine is immaterial as long as he is in a state of equilibrium while facing the ups and downs of life. In this state he does experience life but remain unmoved by it because his mental faculties are always in a state of equilibrium.

Mahatma Gandhi once said "The only change that the world needs is you!" The attitude determines the outcome: those with positive mental attitudes do not worry about the rewards or punishments from their actions. Sthitaprajna represents the qualities of the changed human soul.

 

STHITAprajna, is a vegan community located close to the Western Coast of South India in the state of Karnataka, on the footsteps of Western Ghats, a world hot spot of bio-diversity. STHITAprajna is spread over about 3 acres of vibrant nature along a seasonal natural stream. Nearest airport is Mangalore (140 kms) and the Railway Station is Byndoor (10 kms).

At STHITAprajna one learns to live a life in a state of constant happiness with good health and in harmony with nature (animals and earth) using minimum resources available in the nature. At STHITAprajna residents have healthy vegan food (plant food without animal products) with emphasis on organically grown ingredients procured from local sources.

At STHITAprajna we plan to have a yoga hall for the practice of yoga, pranayama and meditation. It is an eco-friendly place for relaxation and rejuvenation having very basic amenities with place for reading and listening to soulful music, playing indoor and outdoor games, cooking and eating, connecting with the external world using telephone, email and internet. One may involve in other activities like cooking, cleaning, growing vegetables, etc. in the campus. Trekking along the mountains, village walk, visit to beach, excursions to nearby temple towns like Kollur, Murdeshwar, Udupi and Dharmasthala can be other options.

STHITAprajna is an associate of Indian Vegan Society and International Vegetarian Union (www.ivu.org) and slated to open on World Vegan Day on 1st November, 2009.
