SIS SPAIN CENTRE
The Vision
To create a community of like-minded people living and sharing together in the spirit, and under the teachings of Sri Swami Satchidananda.
The community is to be founded on and governed by Yogic principles, and especially the concept of service. Accordingly, it will be registered in Spain as a charity and a not-for-profit organisation.
The Purpose
To create more than a typical “ashram” environment but rather a community that lives and breathes and promotes the concept of service in all its daily activities.
In doing so SIS Spain will go beyond being a place under which Yogic teachings can be merely contemplated and expounded - they will be practised and lived to the fullest extent possible.
The sense of service engendered will not be limited to being amongst and between those living within the SIS community. The community will extend the principle and apply it on a broader scale by the inclusion of educational facilities, and facilities for needy sectors of the local population such as the elderly and disabled/special children.
This strategy will include outreach programs, including the sponsorship of students and ‘patients’.
The objective is also to create a charitable base from which to oversee the raising of funds for the purpose of establishing and supporting schools and orphanages located in developing/third world countries. Each such facility established will be based upon spirituality and Yogic principles – in the “Spirit of Satchidananda”
More about the Project
The SIS Project Spain will be a non-political and ‘non-religious’ community within which ALL religions and faiths will be accepted and respected. Its educational program will be spiritual-based and comprise a curriculum which includes the teaching of all religious beliefs.
Likewise all nationalities will be accepted and respected, and racial and ethnic tolerance will be promoted and included within the educational program. The principles of racial and spiritual harmony will be fundamental to the ethos of the community.
In the words of Sri Swami Satchidananda
“Truth is one, Paths are many”.
