Sri Matri (dhyana) Mandir is the temple of adoration of the Divine Mother, not a religious centre of worship but rather a place where all outer aids are substituted by inner aids of concentration, meditation, silencing of the mind and inner adoration which are identified as indispensable method and second step¹ of integral Jnana and Bhakti Yoga. This is further extended as Spiritual experience of Knowledge by identity and Bliss of union and dynamised as pouring down of Divine Knowledge and Love of third and fourth step and the last ascending Spiritual experience of integral Yoga is the highest oneness with greatest possible depth and height of Consciousness, substituting the world as a temple ground and cry of the devotees for the clasp of God.

In his thousand-pillared temple by Time’s sea”

A BRIEF HINT OF THE TEMPLE:

             Sri Matri Dhyana mandir is a partially closed, many-petalled Lotus shape structure within a rectangular hall. The structure rests on twelve curved pillars surrounded with eighteen + six rectangular pillars. These rectangular pillars symbolise the twenty-four perfections² (6x4) of integral Yoga. The twelve pillars form twelve petals or twelve attributes of the Divine Mother that converge into four petals or four Divine Shaktis and finally into a central petal or One Mother, Aditi, representing the perfection of The Mother’s Symbol.  This temple also symbolically represents one of the last, the profoundest and ‘the grand solution’³ of opening of the inconscient Self and calling down the Divine Mother seated in the inconscient Self’s ‘many-petalled lotus-throne,’4 which is an Immobile Centre of many infinitudes, located by the side of Time’s Sea ‘in thousand-pillared temple.’⁴

              There is a rectangular corridor, The Mother’s room and a library encircling this meditation hall. The Hall can accommodate approximately 250 devotees for meditation and concentration. The Temple height is 30 feet with an inside hall dimension of 44x50 feet size..

A BRIEF HINT OF THE INTEGRAL YOGA:
             A Sadhaka’s Spiritual life is secured through complete union of the Soul (Psychic Being) with the Divine. His primary motive is to give Them (dual Divine Consciousness) consecrated service without rest and earthly ease, which will establish him as a slave of all humanity and in the consciousness of the King Child with the extension of inner and outer Kingdom. His secondary motive is to develop his own path of Yoga through concentration, contemplation and meditation of written Truth and its constant restatement and renovation which will establish him as a disciple of the Lord, Prophet, Pathfinder, Pioneer of new Consciousness and Teacher. His tertiary motive is to emerge as Lover of the Divine, lover of brother Souls and lover of all creatures and humanity. Thus, his Spiritual life is fulfilled by the emergence of triple overhead energies of Delight, Love and Beauty. Integral Yoga further insists a Sadhaka to remain aware of full account⁵ of his human imperfection. It has identified that to remain satisfied with partial Divine union is a ‘maimed achievement’⁶ and he must strive for integration and perfection of his whole Being and Nature from a higher plane of Consciousness.
              It is deeply felt that there is no other hope and joy other than Their Divine Presence received by giving Them equal service and equal entry into Their Teachings. Their Teachings insist to remain Truthful under all circumstance by persistently rejecting the falsehood and to keep mind, life and body untouched from world perversion and invasion of Subconscient impurity; They further insist to realise total consecration through rigorous Self-control/concentration extending over long period and to move the Consciousness vertically by activation of double consecration of Vedantic and Vedic sacrifice.

FUTURE VISION:              

             Sri Matri Dhyana Mandir symbolically represents earth as half opened and half-closed aspirant lotus bud, who no longer spins unhelped in Space within the burden of existing Time extending towards Eternity and oblivious of its high and luminous Supreme destiny but it is also a living manifestation of Eternal and Infinite All-existence. This view is supported by our other view that the Divine Life is the culmination of evolutionary process and use of this phrase implies that our present life is undivine and imperfect. This apparent Earth has to retain her purity through her marriage with Eternity and sole dependency on the Supreme from above. This world is a growing image of Divine creation and it expresses a foreseen Truth, obeys a predetermining Will and realises an original formative self-vision. The existing Sri Matri Dhyana Mandir Project seems to be ambitious mental construction and can wait for supreme creation related with the invisible descent of Spiritual Force precipitating as perfect piece of material CREATION and manifestation. Form may be said to be the innate body and the inevitable self-revelation of the Formless. This construction is dependent neither on the Government machinery, nor on local surrounding, nor on human architect, nor on its generous donors but on the Divine. Its objective is not only to gather together few jealous aspirants to possess and be possessed by the Divine Beloved but to serve as means to channel God’s Supreme Light for earth and man. This universal all-pervading Divine Force considers this earth not as a figment of conception in universal Mind but as conscious birth who can act through the individual concentration to open another dimension of life in its widest and profoundest sense, shows definite path to few fugitive wanderers, who emerge as new-born destined Divine Souls leading them towards their moderate, ascetic and extreme Spiritual fulfilment.

             Finally, this temple of light will be able to serve as means of enlarging the existing human limitation into large Consciousness and can draw brief time into eternity. It can also become a cradle of few twice-born Souls to pursue rightly regulated consecration through persistent and rigorous askesis.
