Swarved Mahamandir is among the world’s largest meditation centres, located in Umaraha, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh in north India, close to the ancient Buddhist town Sarnath. With a seating capacity of more than 20,000 practitioners at once, this spiritual marvel is about to be finished. Known as the spiritual capital of India, Varanasi is one of the oldest cities in the world. Once finished, Swarved Mahamandir would be the most prominent landmark of the city.
Meditation
under the holy guidance of Sadguru is the key to spiritual growth. Throughout
the year, spiritual seekers of all religions keep flocking to Swarved
Mahamandir. Be it Buddhist monks or businessmen, students or retired people,
all come here for experiencing the bliss of deep meditation.
Every year
multiple mega events of Vihangam Yoga are held here, attracting hundreds of
thousands. The mega event Varshikotsav, the annual spiritual congregation marks
the anniversary of establishing Vihangam Yoga Sansthan under the holy guidance
of Sadguru Sadafaldeo Ji Maharaj. This 2-day event, in particular, hosts few
hundred thousand people at once from all across the globe. A large Vedic Hawan
program is also held, where 5100 Hawan Kunds are lit together. The Sadguru’s
Amritvani, Sant Pravar Shri Vigyandeo Ji Mahraj’s Swarved Kathamrit, Shri Naamdeo Ji Maharaj's discourse,
Asan-Pranayam-meditation training are among the prime attractions. This year,
it is being observed on the 7th and 8th of December, Saturday
and Sunday.
The largest among
the six prime centres of Vihangam
Yoga, the Swarved Mahamandir is dedicated to the Holy Scripture Swarved. The
inner walls of this 7-storey Mahamandir would be covered with entire 4000
couplets of Swarved engraved in fine Makarana Marble, the world’s very best
variety of marble. The whole temple would be bright white, a perfect
amalgamation of modern architecture and spiritual vision.
The Roots:
The true
science of spirituality, the science of God Realization, the Brahm Vidya is
known as the source origin of all knowledge that exists, it is the super set
encompassing all. It is the science of union of a soul with the universal,
Supreme Soul. It is called 'Yog' in Sanskrit language. Known by many other
names in different scriptures, this eternal path exists at all times. Still, if
one asks, how old is Yog? It is as old as God and as old as the soul. Both
being beyond the purview of time. The path of Yog is truly eternal. It is not proprietary
of any human being, modern or ancient. It is given to mankind by an eternal
entity, the Sadguru, who appears in our world time to time, educates the deserving
souls and emancipates them from the vicious cycle of death and rebirth (grants them
Moksha). Every guru, or teacher, is not Sadguru. Sadguru is no human
being, but a different entity altogether which works via the most evolved Yogi
at times or just assumes a physical frame himself. This is the manifestation of
the Sadguru. The Sadguru manifests Himself for only one purpose – liberating
the souls from all kinds of sufferings by imparting true spiritual knowledge,
the knowledge of realizing God.
His Holiness Anant
Shri Sadguru Sadafaldeo Ji Maharaj happens to be the greatest Yogi of modern
times who, after several years of deep, conscious meditation under the direct
supervision of the eternal Sadguru, re-established the lost science of Yog. In
year 1924 AD He took a unique oath of granting Moksha to at least
100,000 souls and established the Sadguru Sadafaldeo Vihangam Yoga Sansthan.
Authorized as the Sadguru, He worked towards this pious and herculean tasks
throughout India and spiritually, beyond India. He established Ashrams at
places where He underwent meditation or unique spiritual experiences. Among all
the ashrams He established, five are known as the most divine Ashrams. These
Ashrams are known for their exceptionally high spiritual energies, where a
practitioner readily gets into very deep meditation.
The
Swarved:
A highly
regarded scripture in the spiritual world, Swarved is no ordinary book. It is not
a collection of excerpts out of other Scriptures. Nor is it created out of
anyone’s personal intellectual exercise. It is the direct divine knowledge
which a Yogi experiences. These experiences are beyond the capacity of speech
or other organs. In fact, even expressing those experiences in a right
understandable way is impossible without Divine Help. It is only the Sadguru
who could do it. More about Swarved can be learnt here.
Once again,
Swarved is not just a book. It is a spiritual experiment. By a devoted reading,
spiritual vibrations are created in the body. Our consciousness rises upwards,
pure thoughts evolve. A soul instantaneously starts heading towards the true
spiritual path.
Swarved is the
base of spiritual education. Swarved is the very heart of Vihangam Yoga.
Swarved Kathamrit of Sant Pravar Shri Vigyandeo Ji Maharaj, which elaborates
Swarved in a very mesmerizing way, coupled with musical singing of Swarved
Couplets, has created sensation among the spiritual seekers. It has taken the
message of Swarved and the very need of spirituality to the common man.
Overall, Swarved is the ultimate tool to elevate the spiritual education level
of mankind, which would in turn elevate the overall state of inner peace and
inner bliss of every individual. This is the tool that would lead innumerable
souls to the path of emancipation.
Swarved
Mahamandir was hence the requirement for not only providing a platform for the
meditation practitioners but also to establish the message of Swarved in the
most emphatic way.
The Temple:
Laying its
foundation in year 2004, the visionary spiritual master His Holiness Sadguru
Acharya Shri Swatantradeo Ji Maharaj said that in this temple so much spiritual
energies have been induced that even after thousands of years a Yogi can
experience the divinity here. This Mahamandir, meaning the Great Temple, is
going to spiritually awaken of the world masses and would pave way for world
peace and prosperity. Sant Pravar Shri Vigyandeo Ji Maharaj added that this
place is meant for the true welfare of mankind and everyone contributing to it
would be doing a real great service to humanity.
Structure:
Swarved
Mahamandir is seven storeys high – and stands 162 feet tall. The ground floor
measure 291 feet by 221 feet. Supported by nearly 260 pillars, the structure
has more than 300,000 sqft ground area. The walls would be covered by pure
white Makarana marbles. Makarana marble is rare and the most premium variety of
white marble, used in several world famous structures like the Taj Mahal,
American White House, Sydney Opera House, Kolkata Victoria Palace and many
others. In total more than 600,000 sqft marble would be used. Top two floors
would house a rare collection of the personal belongings and manuscripts of H.H.
Sadguru Sadafaldeo Ji Maharaj.
The structure
has two regular lifts inside and two capsule lifts. The wood work would be of
seasoned teak wood that would last hundreds of years. Beautiful carving would
be done by the India’s best craftsmen. The entire temple would be well
ventilated such that it stays cool even in summers.
