Campus Veerayatan – Palitana Model |
||
|
One of a kind, 21st Century “Green Wonder” slated for a fall 2009 launch in Palitana! By Viren Mayani Inspired by Acharya Chadanaji, Veerayatan-Palitana will house, perhaps the World’s first: contemporary, multi-dimensional and technology infused; environment-sustainability museum. Based on the foremost Jain credo of “Ahimsa” (non-violence) and void of any religious, caste, creed, appearance, age or gender discrimination, “Veerayatan” (a branded non-profit service organization) has been working diligently for the past 38 years for the true emancipation of the human kind. This organization operates successful eye hospitals and involves in assisting any  group of people that has been impacted by natural insurgencies
and tragedies such as the earthquake in Kutch, Gujarat, to name
one. Veerayatan operates several levels of academic institutions
that cover primary, secondary, middle and high schools, besides
college. This year about 65 students have graduated as
Pharmacists from its alma mater. An engineering college with 7
branches is intended to commence accepting students, beginning
year 2010. After its successful completion and subsequent
inauguration, it is also intended that a “Vishwa Vidyalay”
Global University, be built. Today there are about 17 Veerayatan
Centers including the ones in London (UK), Africa, Singapore and
more. Besides serving the primary need of education, these
Centers will also engage in “sadhana” (devotion) and “sewa”
(service). Veerayatan’s next grand project in Palitana is
presented here for your attention, support and involvement. The Conception: A never before in history; this unique project to be developed in the holy land of “Ahimsa” will provide cure-clues for many of the Global ills, if we follow the tradition of the Thirthankar’s. As Bhagwan Shri Rhushubdev saw through the Prakurti, humans lived like animals. Bhagwan Shri Adiguru – Adinathji created the way to a disciplined life. He showed the growth path to how: one should eat, dress, build a home, read-write etc. Once life got stabilized, He explained the amalgamation and need of social, operational and spiritual life. During weddings and other joyous social celebrations, humans had begun to enjoy the consumption of animal flesh i.e. meat. Violence had violated the spiritual lifestyle. Emphasizing that animals are meant to co-exist with humans and that we should not hurt them as they share the same emotions humans do; Bhagwan Shri Parshvanathji denounced the savoring of meat just to satisfy a few hours of hunger but destroying a life in the process. Bhagwan Shri Mahavirswami communicated to the masses that it is only by preserving nature that we will be able to save our species. It is this theme that is elaborately presented at Veerayatan-Palitana. Life size, moving and communicating models will narrate the transformation of human life-form over the ages and stress the need of co-existence with nature.
