About the social project in village Saalig and Lifemaker Gurukul

Currently Ayush lives in village Saalig, Dharamsala, H.P. where he is working with his village community to shape their village for Swa-rajya. Thereby the village community has a budding self learning program called Lifemaker Gurukul and is also developing a self managed economic program based on giving and justful distribution. The overall vision is to help shape a beautiful self and samaaj in their village and also all across the world - http://www.lifemaker.us They hope that by setting an example from their families, from their village family and using internet  to connect with young ones from across the world, we may be able to accomplish something worthwhile for the world in the coming decades.




Method

We will connect online and offline as the world family, in a trust circle. We will go through live and recorded sat-sangha, discussion, contemplation, study and meditation. We will also have questions and discussion in the forum. We will share stories, sing, dance, do Yoga, pranayama, discuss books, films, real personalities and history, society, science and what not. We will experience laughter and sometimes tears of realization and joy. We will dive deep and exploring ourself. We will have guests and also explore various different methodologies for the purpose of the co-exploration. And Inshallah (God willing) we will meet even physically someday at the Lifemaker Gurukul in village Saalig, Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh, or somewhere else where God wills, and as our family grows and connects from across the world.



The five pronged appproach for Life Education: 

Sat-sang 

सत्संग - एक संगत सुख , प्रेम और सच की; और के लिए


Exchange 

चर्चा - सत्संग के साथ, आपस में शब्द के माध्यम से सच्चाई और वास्तविकताओं (हकीकतों) को इशारा करना।समझना समझाना।


Contemplation

चिंतन - किसी सच्चाई का, सोच से परे, सहज स्वीकृति/ज़मीर से, सीधे सीधे एहसास लेना। सब चीज़ों के आपस के रिश्ते, और उससे भी ऊपर, सच की व्यवस्था जो है, जिसमे सब हिस्सेदार है, उस व्यवस्था की दृष्टि से रिश्तों को देखना. Connection and reality महसूस करना।


Study 

अध्ययन - जो सच्चाई चर्चा और चिंतन से ठीक लगी, उसको जीके जीने में देखना और उसका प्रमाण पाना। जो सच खुद की खोज से जाना है, उसे ही मानना। और जो भी माना है उसकी सच्चाई को ठीक से जान लेना।


Meditation 

ध्यान - होश में होते हुए सच्चाई को देखते रहने से, उसके साथ एक हो जाना। उसमे विलीन हो जाना। सच हो जाना। और वैसे जी जाना।



Why is knowing (Truth, Understanding) important? 

Perhaps the most important thing.


Truth never changes or will change. Everything runs according to, in, and is the Truth itself. Truth was, is, and will forever be the same, unchanging. Truth itself has been referred to as God, Bhagwan, Allah, Existence, All-that-is. Coexistence...


All realities including the human being, are existing in the Truth; are the Truth itself. Each unit in nature, whether material or conscious, has an innate role and purpose (धर्म) in Coexistence. It function as per the laws & nature of reality (Truth). Every unit of nature plays its unique role in the larger arrangement, all of it progressing from disorder to greater order, greater harmony. 


We all not only want to live but we want to live happily. We want to feel happy all the time (i.e. in continuity). It is our purpose as human being. Isn’t everything that we do, we do to find or sustain our happiness? How can we realize this purpose, in continuity - the solution (समाधान, हल).


Since we want a solution that will forever serve us, that solution has to be based on something that is forever the same and is functioning towards harmony, everywhere and all the time. What is that most certain and reliable thing? It is the Truth itself, with its laws of and as coexistence.


We will together explore the meaning of Truth (Self as human, Existence as coexistence) within; and the way to live a happy and prosperous life in all round harmony.
