Omkarananda Ashram's Aims &
Objects
The Aims and
Objects for which the Omkarananda Ashram is established are:
-
To create an oasis where is demonstrated in daily practical life, the
practicability, the immense value, and the perfect validity, of the greatest
Ideals of mankind; where Truth has personality, divine Love a reality, and the
Peace that passes understanding rules every circumstance and situation of life;
where matter and spirit are reconciled, and God lives in man and man in God.
|
|
|
-
To teach the religion of the NO-RELIGION, the religion of all religions, the
universal religion, the religion of modern man, who, while living in and
improving the scientific and technological world, has a living contact with the
living God.
|
-
To love all
equally, to serve all equally, to honour all equally, and to help all equally to
find sources of strength, which they can use for art of living peacefully,
progressively in daily life.
|
-
To create a place where one can learn the arts of cultivating spirit; of
developing reason, concentration, logic, and the qualities of a high moral life
- goodness, truth, justice, unselfishness; of increasing all the other faculties
and skills; and of working dynamically for the welfare of thousands of people.
|
-
To help people to find peace of mind, and progress on the path of growth in love
and service, goodness and God-consciousness, through the dissemination of
spiritual knowledge.
|
|
|
-
To systematize the different views, philosophies, sciences, religions and
cultures in the light of the Integral Science of Man.
|
-
To seek to provide answers to the fundamental problems of life, for which there
are no answers in the fields of modern knowledge - psychology, literature,
sociology, politics, medicine, etc.
|
-
To make it its duty to fulfil the urgent need and longing of people for deeper
knowledge of the nature of Reality; therefore the Ashram has chosen Swami
Omkarananda - a genius of rich and living spiritual wisdom, of all-inclusive
education and intelligence, of intuitive sympathy and all-embracing love, who
transmits the treasures of the highest Truth, as perceived and received in
dynamic and integral experience of the divine Reality - as its spiritual,
intellectual and cultural leader and ideal.
