I-120 km enyakatho yeCalcutta eNtshonalanga Bengal, osebeni lomfula ongcwele iGanges, iyisikhungo esingokomoya esibizwa ngeMayapur. Umqondo oyinhloko wale phrojekthi ukukhombisa ukuthi impucuko yesimanje inenye indlela yangempela ekuvumela ukuthi uthole injabulo ehluke ngokuyisisekelo.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, umsebenzi wangaphandle womuntu lapho awuyichithi imvelo nganoma iyiphi indlela, ngoba lo msebenzi usekelwe ekuqondeni ukuxhumana okujulile phakathi komuntu, imvelo noNkulunkulu.
I-Mayapur yasungulwa ngo-1970 yi-International Society for Krishna Consciousness ukuze ihlanganise imibono yefilosofi namasiko amaVedic.
Nazi izinyathelo ezine eziyinhloko ezishintsha kakhulu umkhathi womphakathi: ukushintshela ekudleni imifino, ukuthuthukiswa ngokomoya kohlelo lwezemfundo, ukushintshela emithonjeni yenjabulo engeyona eyezinto ezibonakalayo kanye nokwenqatshwa kokufudukela emadolobheni ngokuguqukela emnothweni wezolimo.
Kukho konke okubonakala kungenakwenzeka kokwethulwa kwale mibono kubantu baseNtshonalanga banamuhla, kwakungabalandeli baseNtshonalanga beVedas abaqala lo msebenzi, futhi kamuva nje amaNdiya, okungokwesiko lawo, azidonsela phezulu. Iminyaka engama-34, amathempeli amaningana, isikole, ipulazi, amahhotela amaningi, ama-ashram (amahostela angokomoya), izakhiwo zokuhlala, namapaki amaningana eSikhungweni. Ukwakhiwa kuzoqala kulo nyaka endaweni enkulukazi yeVedic planetarium ezobonisa amazinga ehlukene ezinhlelo zamaplanethi kanye nezindlela zokuphila ezihlala lapho. Kakade, iMayapur iheha inqwaba yabahambi abathanda imikhosi evamile. Ngempelasonto, abantu abangaba yizinkulungwane ezingu-300 badlula kulesi sakhiwo, ikakhulukazi abavela eCalcutta bezobuka leli pharadesi elisemhlabeni. Ngezikhathi zamaVedic, lonke elaseNdiya lalinje, kodwa ngokufika kweKali Yuga (inkathi yokungazi), lesi siko lawela ekuboleni.
Ngenkathi isintu sifuna enye indlela yempucuko ecekela phansi umphefumulo, isiko lamaNdiya, elingenakuqhathaniswa ekujuleni kwaso okungokomoya, likhuphuka emfucumfucwini iNtshonalanga eyazama ukuyingcwaba ngaphansi kwayo. Manje abaseNtshonalanga ngokwabo bayahola ekuvuseleleni le mpucuko endala kakhulu yabantu.
Umsebenzi wokuqala womphakathi okhanyiselwe, ophucuzekile uwukunikeza abantu ithuba lokuthuthukisa amandla abo angokomoya kuze kube sezingeni eliphezulu. Abantu abakhuliswe ngokweqiniso abagcini ngokuphishekela injabulo yesikhashana ngendlela yokwanelisa izidingo eziyisisekelo zokudla, ukulala, ubulili nokuvikelwa - konke lokhu kutholakala ngisho nasezilwaneni. Umphakathi wesintu ungabizwa ngokuthi uphucuzekile kuphela uma usekelwe esifisweni sokuqonda isimo sikaNkulunkulu, uMkhathi kanye nenjongo yokuphila.
I-Mayapur iphrojekthi ehlanganisa iphupho lalabo abalwela ukuvumelana nemvelo noNkulunkulu, kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo bahlale beyilungu elisebenzayo lomphakathi. Ngokuvamile, isithakazelo esikhulayo endaweni engokomoya sisusa umuntu ezindabeni zezwe, futhi uba yize emphakathini. Ngokwesiko, eNtshonalanga, umuntu usebenza isonto lonke, ekhohlwa umgomo ophakeme kakhulu wokuphila, futhi ngeSonto kuphela lapho engaya khona esontweni, acabange ngezaphakade, kodwa kusukela ngoMsombuluko uphinde angene engxabanweni yezwe.
Lokhu ukubonakaliswa okujwayelekile kobubili bokwazi okutholakala kumuntu wesimanje - udinga ukukhetha okukodwa kokubili - udaba noma umoya. Kodwa eNdiya yamaVedic, inkolo ayizange ibhekwe “njengezinye zezici zokuphila.” Inkolo yayiwukuphila ngokwayo. Ukuphila kwakuqondiswe ngokuphelele ekufinyeleleni umgomo ongokomoya. Le ndlela yokwenziwa, ehlanganisa okungokomoya nezinto ezibonakalayo, yenza ukuphila komuntu kuvumelana futhi imkhulule esidingweni sokujaha ukweqisa. Ngokungafani nefilosofi yaseNtshonalanga, ehlushwa umbuzo waphakade wobukhulu bomoya noma indaba, amaVeda amemezela uNkulunkulu umthombo wakho kokubili futhi abize ukunikela zonke izici zokuphila kwakho ekuMkhonzeni. Ngakho ngisho nesimiso sansuku zonke singokomoya ngokuphelele. Yilo mbono ongaphansi kwedolobha elingokomoya laseMayapura.
Enkabeni yesakhiwo kukhona ithempeli elinama-altare amabili amakhulu emahholo amabili angakwazi ukuhlalisa abantu abangu-5 ngesikhathi esisodwa. Abantu abahlala lapho banendlala engokomoya eyengeziwe, ngakho-ke ithempeli alilokothi libe nalutho. Ngaphezu kwemikhuba ehambisana nokucula njalo kwamaGama Angcwele KaNkulunkulu, izinkulumo zemibhalo yamaVeda zibanjelwa ethempelini ekuseni nakusihlwa. Konke kungcwatshwe ngezimbali namakha angcwele. Kuzo zonke izinhlangothi kuphuma imisindo emnandi yomculo wokomoya nokucula.
Isisekelo sezomnotho salolu hlelo yizolimo. Amasimu azungeze iMayapur alinywa ngesandla kuphela - abukho ubuchwepheshe besimanje obusetshenziswa ngokuyisisekelo. Umhlaba ulinywa ezinkunzini. Izinkuni zokubasa, amakhekhe amalongwe owomile kanye negesi, etholakala emqubeni, isetshenziswa njengamafutha. Ama-handlooms ahlinzeka ngendwangu yelineni nekotini. Imithi, izimonyo, odayi benziwa ngezitshalo zendawo. Amapuleti enziwa ngamaqabunga omisiwe acindezelwe noma amaqabunga kabhanana, izinkomishi zenziwa ngobumba obungaqinile, futhi ngemva kokusetshenziswa zibuyela emhlabathini futhi. Asikho isidingo sokugeza izitsha, ngoba izinkomo zidla kanye nokunye ukudla.
Manje, ngomthamo ogcwele, iMayapur ingakwazi ukuhlalisa abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyi-7. Esikhathini esizayo, inani labantu bayo akufanele lidlule izinkulungwane ezingama-20. Ibanga phakathi kwezakhiwo mancane, futhi cishe wonke umuntu uhamba ngezinyawo. Amabhayisikili ashesha kakhulu. Izindlu zodaka ezifulelwe ngotshani zihlala ndawonye eduze kwezakhiwo zesimanje.
Ezinganeni, kunesikole samabanga aphansi nesesekondari samazwe ngamazwe, lapho, kanye nezifundo zemfundo ejwayelekile, zinikeza izisekelo zokuhlakanipha kweVedic, zifundisa umculo, isayensi ehlukahlukene esetshenzisiwe: ukusebenza kukhompyutha, ukubhucunga kwe-Ayurvedic, njll Ekupheleni esikoleni, kukhishwa isitifiketi samazwe ngamazwe, esikuvumela ukuthi ungene enyuvesi.
Kulabo abafisa ukuzinikela ekuphileni okungokomoya nje kuphela, kunesikole somoya esiqeqesha abapristi nezazi zemfundiso yenkolo. Izingane zikhulela esimweni esihlanzekile nesinempilo sokuzwana komzimba nomoya.
Konke lokhu kuhluke kakhulu “kwimpucuko” yesimanje, okuphoqa abantu ukuthi bagqigqe emadolobheni angcolile, aminyene, agcwele ubugebengu, basebenze ezimbonini eziyingozi, baphefumule umoya onoshevu futhi badle ukudla okunobuthi. Ngaleso sikhathi esinzima kangaka, abantu baphokophele ekusaseni elibi nakakhulu. abanayo injongo engokomoya ekuphileni (izithelo zokukhuliswa kwabantu abangakholelwa kuNkulunkulu). Kodwa isixazululo salezi zinkinga asidingi ukutshalwa kwezimali - udinga nje ukubuyisela amehlo abantu, ukukhanyisa impilo ngokukhanya kolwazi lukamoya. Njengoba sebekutholile ukudla okungokomoya, bona ngokwabo bayofuna ukuphila ngendlela engokwemvelo.
