Hastinapura Foundation: This is an
Argentine non-profit organization
devoted to preaching Spiritual
Universalism all over Argentina and
other neighbouring countries.
It was founded in 1981 by an
Argentine Philosophy Professor, Ada
Albrecht, who dreamt a place, where men could gather
towards their search for Truth,
without any sectarianisms.
Three main principles of the
organization are:
1) To recognize and preach the
existence of God and the divine
essence of human being through the
path
of the Spiritual Universalism.
2) To realize the natural
brotherhood within Humankind, and to
promote a lovely approach to every
religion, race, philosophy, and to
the rest of human beings.
3) To promote the study of Science,
Religions, Arts and Philosophies,
always towards spiritual
development of Mankind.
It has 15 centers in Argentina, and
others in Uruguay, Bolivia, and
Colombia.
It's retreat place is called
"Tukaram Pedagogical Center". It's a
4 1/2 ha. field, 45 km outside the
city, in the country field, near the
village named "Francisco Alvarez".
Tukaram Pedagogical Center was born
29 October of 1978.
Tukaram Pedagogical Center (thus called in
honour of the great poet-saint of
India). It was constructed
day-to-day, hand span to hand span,
by the young people pertaining to
our Foundation. For the construction
of Temples it was never counted on
great economic contributions. Little
by little, currency, bricks,
painting, cement, wood were
acquired, little by little were
constructed their ways and, as we
say, their Temples. The Center was
named after the great poet-saint of
India. With all the sincerity of our
heart, with all our energy we wanted
to construct a point of light in
this Earth where he learned himself
that he is One in all the Religions,
that the Immortal Philosophy is One,
does not interest what forms, what
languages, what modality uses for
their expression. In that point of
light, that is the Tukaram
Pedagogical Center.
The Tukaram Center has ten temples.
1.Formless God
2.Shri Ganesha
3.Virgin Mary
4.Buddha
5.Shri Surya
6.God as a child
7.Narayana
8.Greek Goddess Demeter
9.Divine Scriptures Temple
10. The Pandavas temple
Tukaram Pedagogical Center
extends the arms of its river, and
with his love action it approaches
the sea, that is to say, it is that
river that tries to take to the
greater amount of souls possible
towards the blessed Sea of God
through the "knowledge to watch",
"to know how to think", "knowledge
to be", for "knowing how to love",
and through the love, and only
through the love, to reach the ocean
of God.
That ocean is the aim of all our
inner anguishes. Dreams are rivers
of the soul: our soul learns to
being river, and thus protected by
the shores full of tenderness of our
Tukaram, can lead to us towards the
Sea of God; only in that Sea we can
find the Happiness that as much we
yearned for. |
