What is Ariven?:
Ariven is the meaning behind Namaste- to "know"
the Oneness
of it all. When
we are aware of Oneness, we are Awake,
the Ariven. The word "Ariven" is from
ancient Tamil language that bridges with
Sanskrit as with "Ari", that means, to
know.
When Gautama Buddha was asked, "Are
you human? Are you God?" ,
his reply was, "I
am Awake". Yes, we are the awake
to enable compassionate passion of
oneness as reality for humanity!
Why a
sanctuary as a spiritual project?
"Ari" is an ancient Tamil word that
means "to know". Ariven means, the one
who is awake. This is the age of higher
consciousness with mass awakenings.
After waking up to realizing we are the
spirit having the human experience we
are in touch with the reality described
in all religious texts, as the "I Am".
In this realization is the oneness of
life, reality, karma and dharma. As
awake, we realize the joys of being in
the receiving end of grace. In coming
together as a community of the awake, we
not only enable compassion and sharing
on global scales but also lift our
civilization to the next level of
consciousness. As spiritual beings
inspired in the action, we journey
beyond the "I Am" to "What If", i.e,
transform humanity through our intent as
action.

acquired through austerity to endure
hunger.
But greater still is the power of
those who relieve the hunger of
others." -Tirukkural

can I become enlightened"
Neem Karoli Baba: "Feed
people."
"Those
who see all creatures in themselves
And themselves in all creatures know
no fear.
Those who see all creatures in
themselves
And themselves in all creatures know
no grief.
How can the multiplicity of life
Delude the one who sees its unity?" -Isha
Upanishad
"As
long as we are the living graves of
murdered animals,slaughtered to
satisfy our appetites,how can we
hope in this world to attain the
peace we say we are so anxious for?" -George

"Refuse
not food to those who are hungry.
When you feed the hungry, you serve
the Lord,
From whom is born every living
creature.

the heart
Stand firm, grow rich, gather a
family
Around them, and receive the love of
all." -Taittriya
