Both the soul and the body are important. The Guru of Santhigiri (Hill of Peace) Ashram had preached this message and he practised it in true spirit. The late Karunakara Guru thus advised medicines for the body and meditation for the mind. With the former President K.R. Narayanan and renowned litt'rateur and thinker O. V. Vijayan among Karunakara Guru's disciples, Santhigiri is not new to fame. The beautiful ashram at Pothencode, located on the periphery of Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, is in focus again, for a magnificent structure that is set to compete with the choicest architectural marvels.
Pothencode, with its sylvan and serene settings, is nature's very own lair. Navajyothisree Karunakara Guru, who attained what the Ashram defines as 'union with the Adisankalpam (The Plane of Primordial Consciousness)' in 1999, started his work here in a simple way in a Parnasala (holy hut) made of locally available materials. Now the new building complex that is a forum for multifarious activities is built in the vicinity of that very Parnasala. President Pratibha Patil will inaugurate the complex on August 13 this year, and the place will be open for worship on September 12, the 84th birthday of the Guru.
The 91 feet high lotus-shaped structure of the new building is 84 feet in diameter and is built with white marble from Makrana of Rajasthan ' the same marble that is the building block of the exalted Taj Mahal, and the very beautiful Akshardham temple near the capital.
The Parnasala is the sacred spot where the physical body of Navajyothisree Karunakara Guru had been laid to rest. The lotus-shaped splendour in marble has 12 petals reaching up to a height of 41 feet. More than 1 lakh square feet of marble has been used in the construction that costs around Rs 22 crores.
In keeping with the sanctity of Parnasala and its importance as a pilgrimage spot, a 25 acre 'Spiritual Zone' is also being developed around the monument. The entire area would be maintained as a 'Zone of Peace' for spiritual contemplation and prayers. 'The Parnasala Development Master Plan, other Ashram activities and its various units will have separate Healthcare, Agricultural, Educational and Trade & Industries Zones,' says Ashram Organising Secretary, Swami Gururethnam Jnana Thapaswi.
The spiritual haven is open to all without discrimination. 'This Parnasala will be maintained as an area of peace for people to come and experience spiritual joy and to wash away their sufferings and worries through self-purification. It will be an ideal spot for calm contemplation for seekers of truth,' says Swami Gururethnam Jnana Thapaswi. Considering the times that we live in, Santhigiri sounds like the ideal getaway.
