Nateshvari is a wing of
Shaktiyogashrama Gurukul, a unique multi-dimensional educational cultural
complex in the making, founded by SWAMI SHRI HARISH MADHUKAR, a rare
spiritual giant who lived the
life of a recluse in the jungles of the Sahyadri without a care or want.
Till one fine day moved by the sorry state of education and cultural
awareness amongst people in general and youth and children in particular, he
returned to society to work towards its betterment .With the passion of a
man possessed , he moved the project and in the matter of a year and a
half, Shaktiyogashrama, as it stands today, with all its 30 acres of land,
10 cottages and an open air auditorium materialized .His mortal remains
passed away in October 1996 , but his spirit and vision remain guiding a
closed ring of disciples. His vision of living
and learning emphasised
the basic values of cultural
rootedness, holistic living and the
practice of a spiritual discipline so
as to be able to live in full awareness at all times.All arts and sciences
, he believed are to sensitise one and to heighten Awareness .Their
teaching must be from this angle and their learning must liberate the
student from all inhibitions
and bestow a vision of Truth. The school for children
and the seven proposed
gurukuls pertaining to the classical arts of
dance, music, architecture, sculpture and painting and the
classical sciences of yoga, ayurveda and jyotishi shastra , at
Shaktiyogashrama all share this approach to living and learning
with an inward look . At present we hold
week-end camps for adults and children , designed to ‘BEGIN THE JOURNEY
WITHIN ‘, to regain lost perspectives through modules on yoga ,
meditation and understanding of the classical arts and sciences . We help to keep traditions of performing arts alive through our folkarts festival on Sharadpoornima ( in October) and classical arts festival on Shivaratri( February - March). |
