Easter Sunday 2009: A Day for New Beginnings


OM

I hope that we can develop this blog to share meaningful insights on Yoga, philosophy, spiritual and social service. Maybe even try to read contemporary local and global events in the light of the teachings of the Indian spiritual masters down the ages.

A little about the organisation which lends its name to this blog. Bibek Anander Satsang is an organisation dedicated to implementing the vision of a world where science and spirituality collaborate for the harmonious all-round development of the individual and the community: "We visualize the dawn of a new civilization where all cultures will blend harmoniously, giving scope to all and destroying none." The organisation was founded by Acharya Sri Sri Gour Ganguly (1920-2003) in Agartala, Tripura, (India) as a mass movement or satyagraha to stop atrocities on women, and to create an alternative paradigm of a decentralised, ethical and sustainable society where even the poorest of people would get the scope to realise their fullest potential.

The blog will, over time, present various facets of Acharya Gour Ganguly's thought, and will enable people to post questions/discussions about spirituality, the Satsang's work and philosophy, and about the life and vision of Acharya Gour Ganguly.

The quarterly journal of the organisation, Vivek Vani, will also be discussed this site, and people can write responses to the articles in Vivek Vani at this site.
