Hastinapura Foundation: This
is an Argentine non-profit organization devoted to preaching
Spiritual Universalism all over Argentina and other neighbouring
countries.
It was founded in 1981 by an Argentine
Philosophy Professor, Ada Albrecht, who dreamt a place,
inspired in Mahabharata´s Hastinapura, where men
could gather towards their search for Truth, without any
sectarisms.
Three main principles of the organization
are:
1) To recognize and preach the existence
of God and the divine essence of human being through the
path
of the Spiritual Universalism.
2) To realize the natural brotherhood within Humankind,
and to promote a lovely approach to every
religion, race, philosophy, and to the rest of human beings.
3) To promote the study of Science, Religions, Arts and
Philosophies, always towards spiritual
development of Mankind.
It has 15 centers in Argentina, and others in Uruguay,
Bolivia, and Colombia.
It's retreat place is called "Tukaram Pedagogical
Center". It's a 4 1/2 ha. field, 45 km outside the
city, in the country field, near the village named "Francisco
Alvarez".
Tukaram Pedagogical Center was born 29
October of 1978.The Pedagogical Center Tukaram (thus called
in honour of the great poet-saint of the India). It was
constructed day-to-day, hand span to hand span, by the
young people pertaining to our Foundation. For the construction
of Temples it was never counted on great economic contributions.
Little by little, currency, bricks, painting, cement,
wood were acquired, little by little were constructed
their ways and, as we say, their Temples. The center was
named after the great poet-saint of India. With all the
sincerity of our heart, with all our energy we wanted
to construct a point of light in this Earth where he learned
himself that he is One in all the Religions, that the
Immortal Philosophy is One, does not interest what forms,
what languages, what modality uses for their expression.
In that point of light, that is the Tukaram Pedagogical
Center.
The Tukaram center has ten temples.
1.Formless God
2.Shri Ganesha
3.Virgin Mary
4.Buddha
5.Shri Surya
6.God as a child
7.Narayana
8.Greek Goddess Demeter
9.Divine Scriptures Temple
10. The Pandavas temple
The Pedagogical Center Tukaram extends the arms of its
river, and with his love action it approaches the sea,
that is to say, it is that river that tries to take to
the greater amount of souls possible towards the blessed
Sea of God through the "knowledge to watch",
"to know how to think", "knowledge to be",
for "knowing how to love", and through the love,
and only through the love, to reach the ocean of God.
That ocean is the aim of all our inner anguishes. Dreams
are rivers of the soul: our soul learns to being river,
and thus protected by the shores full of tenderness of
our Tukaram, can lead to us towards the Sea of God; only
in that Sea we can find the Happiness that as much we
yearned for.
