Shantikunj lies in the lap (valley) of “mother” Ganga (the holiest
river of India personified as a female deity). Being situated on the foothills
it is under the shadow of the mighty Himalayas (like a father protecting his
child). The place is strongly charged with spiritual energy generated by Tapasya
of the most celebrated seven rishis (seers) of ancient times. The
sacredness of Shantikunj has been further enhanced by an high order of ascetic
exercises and rituals (including Yagyas meditation and continuous chanting
of Gayatri Mantra) being carried out by millions of devotees round the
year. Hence the seeker perceives here a unique celestial protection and
ethereal environment surcharged with spiritual energy. These are a few reasons,
amongst many other because of which the divinity may well have understandably
considered this locality suitable for taking up the Herculean crusade for establishing
A new world order in the third millennium. A believer can, without much effort,
perceive the charge of spirituality within a short period of stay at this
place.
For persons who are extremely busy otherwise, are infirm or find
it difficult to spend some time at Shantikunj, a conceptual exercise of sadhna
has been prescribed. By this method, the transmissions of spiritual energy
being received at Shantikunj can also be received by meditating at one’s own
home. It takes only a few minutes of meditation immediately after awakening in
the morning.
