Ideal Village
An Ideal Village focuses on balancing the materialistic and spiritual needs of any human being and provides a holy environment to further spiritual realization. Bhagawan has stated that it is not sufficient to ensure that the materialistic needs of the Village are met. It is of utmost importance that the Village is spiritually oriented and it is this spirituality that forms the basis of day-to-day living. Such a village will then truly emulate Swami’s words of wisdom, “Be in the world, and let the world not be in you.”
The Vision
