Matrimandir Educational Website (MEW)
(Note: Like all other initiatives envisioned by Aryadeep Vision Foundation, the initiative for a Matrimandir Educational Website is also personal idea and a dream of Aryadeep S. Acharya. If Matrimandir management so wishes, it will be handed over to them and removed from the list of initiatives. It is presented here only to bring out the vision in its vividness.)
Purpose
To convey through an internet platform knowledge and inspiration and insights on Matrimandir.
Explanation
Most people regard Matrimandir as a meditation center with exceptional architectural dimensions. They come to “see” the Matrimandir just as they go to see Statue of Unity or Statue of Liberty or even Taj Mahal. But Matrimandir is much more than a meditation center or its architecture. It has futuristic dimensions. It has a profound spiritual and evolutionary dimension beyond religion. Matrimandir could become a silent mentor for enlarging humanity’s horizons of knowledge and understanding and progress. It could nurture humanity’s aspiration for Truth, for diviner things. It could become one of the catalysts for human evolution.
