The foundation of Vedic culture is " Sanatana Dharma",
eternal Truth. Dharma is that invincible power of nature which
upholds existence - it mantains evolution and forms the very
basis of cosmic life. Vedic culture promotes that 'science
of being and art of living' which enables man to live in full
accordance with the laws of nature and to express the very
purpose of creation- the expansion of happiness.
"
Out of bliss these beings are born
In
bliss they are sustained and in the end
In
bliss they go and merge again "
-
Taittiriya Upanishad -
All the different aspects and disciplines of Vedic Culture
like its education, architecture, health system, music, dance
etc. have one common goal : To cultivate and unfold the full
potential of man and thereby help him to rise to supreme accomplishments.
All the cherished traditions of Vedic learning have been
handed down in time as an oral tradition from generation
to generation, from father and mother to their sons and
daughters , from the teacher to the student Even if great
rishis and sages have formulated and laid down all the basic
principles of Vedic learning in the shastras ( scriptures
) it was always stated that Vedic teachings- to be complete
and reliable - has to be based not only on written information
but on personal instruction and experience.
To introduce you to this ancient and yet-in its universality-timeless culture we
have designed "Vedic Weeks at Maitreyi":
Each day of the week will be dedicated to one of the disciplines
of Vedic Science and its art forms like for example Ayurveda,
Yoga, classical Indian music and dance. This enables
you to explore the truths of Vedic wisdom, expand your consciousness
and knowledge and thereby lay the foundation for a
more healthy, happy and fulfilled life.
"Life is bliss" is the underlying message of the
Vedas and to manifest this more and more in your daily life
is the purpose of your stay at Maitreyi.
