Center for Peace, Unity & Coexistence

Adhyatmik Foundation is working to develop a center in the US, which will serve as a beacon of goodwill and peace, providing a supportive environment for self-reflection and contemplation for the benefit of the individual as well as humanity at large. Developed under the guidance of Dr Svami Purna, the Center construction will follow Vedic Law and will be located in an area of natural beauty away from the distractions and demands of city life...a refuge or haven where the Laws of Nature reigns supreme over the Laws of Man.   Initially, it is envisioned that the Center will include a large central monument that will serve as the focal point for all who visit.   This monument will feature a 4-sided, 51 metre tall stone statue, with an area for gathering in a group or sitting alone.  There will be a staircase, which will include passages of Universal Truth engraved within each step allowing for an experience of enlightenment as one walks along the path.   An accompanying open air building will support meditative and transformative reflection and contemplation.  A walking meditation trail will wind through the property, which will be planted with a variety of fruit and flower trees from around the globe to provide lovely fragrance throughout the year.  Over time, it is envisaged that the Center also will offer conducive accommodation as well as musical, spiritual and cultural events throughout the year.  The Center will allow Adhyatmik Foundation to dissimenate the teachings of Dr Svami Purna as well as  provide a place of pilgramage for those seeking inner peace and wisdom.

Whether someone is just beginning to explore a path of Health, Happiness and Fullfillment or one already has developed a deep and seasoned spiritual practice, Adhyatmik Foundation strives to provide the appropriate tools, support and foundational guidance during each stage of growth and development.

Health Management System

This ambitious and important project will focus on the development and launch of a broad-based health management system for the different stages of life, emphasizing the philosophical and spiritual pursuits throughout the life according to the Vedic tradition. There are four key stages based on age:  Brahmacharya (0-25 covering 0-5 infancy, 6-15 childhood and young teenager, 16-25 late teenager and young adult), Grihstha (25-50 covering the entry into the world of work, responsibility and challenge), Vanprastha (50-75 covering the period of mild reflection, retirement from hard work to light work and relaxation) and Sanyasa (75 onwards, covering the stage of renunciation of more worldly pursuits to focus on spiritual and philosophical pursuits). One of the key points Dr Svami Purna emphasizes is that anyone can live to be 100 years old- provided a person follows an approach to life that is consistent with the Vedic and Yogic teachings that embody the Health Management System.

The overall objective of the Health Management System is to help people of all ages and stage of life reach a state of harmony through:

• Improving health and wellbeing;
• Achieving success and prosperity; and
• Finding fulfillment at home and at work.

The Health Management System, drawing from traditional Vedic philosophy and the scientific approach of the Yogic tradition, takes into consideration all aspects of a person’s being: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.   An important aspect of this system is the individual’s participation in his/her own health management.  One is encouraged to seek accurate information about the functioning of the body and mind so one can work in partnership with a medical professional and not be at the mercy of the health care system.  

Under the umbrella of the Health Management System, there are three key areas of focus:

• Health, Fitness and Nutrition
• Life Balance (stress management)
• Spiritual Growth and Development

In applying these key areas of focus to daily living, guidance will be offered on specific topics such as:

• Diet and Nutrition
• Sleep disorders
• Exercise and fitness
• Herbal remedies and health tips for non-drug treatment
• Preventive health awareness and check ups
• Time management to reduce stressful scheduling
• Prioritizing and balancing personal and professional activities and goals
• Focusing energy on positive pursuits and hobbies
• Managing emotional thoughts and actions/reactions
• Communication and personal interaction skills
• Reflection, contemplation and meditation
• Yoga, specifically Patanjali’s Eightfold system (dynamic yoga to 40 and passive yoga after 40 combined with the study of traditional philosophy)

The Health Management System is based largely on the perennial wisdom of the Vedic tradition, which has been increasingly recognized as particularly useful in addressing diseases and imbalances created by the hectic, stressful, time-centered lifestyle commonly found in most communities today.  Combining ancient wisdom with current technological advances, Adhyatmik Foundation will look into ways to implement technology solutions to support and scale the dissemination of information about the Health Management System and provide universal access to anyone who would like to benefit from the information.

The essence of the Health Management System is best expressed directly by Dr Svami Purna, who has a vision for humankind to be healthy and free:  

“A true health management system is based on knowledge.  First you need to inform yourself of some basic function of your body- and this information is easily obtained by mindfully reading or studying, then analyzing, what you have read.  Then you can take charge of yourself, instead of relying on your doctor.  By all means get information and advice from your physician.  Discuss with him/her what is in the best interest of your health.   That way you become partners in your health management.  But essentially it is you who has to make the decision of what is right for you.  You become proactive and that is real health management, not just depending on your doctor to fix any health problems…. It is even more important to focus on preventative health rather than having to repair those problems that have already manifested.  Get a regular checkup of your body by your physician and by your dentist before things go wrong, before pain and decay manifest and before symptoms become overwhelming.  Only then will you have the choice to make the decisions that allow your body to perform efficiently and for a long time.  Only then will you have the energy and strength to take you further towards your spiritual goals”.
