CODE OF CONDUCT

The MAHAGANAPATI TEMPLE OF SILENCE is inspired to bridge the gap between the form and the formless. It is dedicated to healing and experiencing PEACE as medicine. Mahaganapati is the residing deity of this place. He is a tantric form of Ganesha who has magical healing grace.

The temple is established to motivate the act of worship in day to day living , an act of reformation that makes the ritualistic pattern simply love based, and not fear based . In the silence of this charged environment , one can experience the presence of the Self in the self . The true essence of Bhakti Gyaan and Karma culminate to a point here. The constant awareness of divine Consciousness amidst the forest mountains and the ganges, is the source of invocation here. Mahaganapati witnessing and sitting by the ganges, creates a transcendental vibrational field of supreme bliss and eternal joy. 

This temple is a Atharvashirsha Upanishad kshetra. This Ganesha upanishad is the hymn that invokes the lord here. Printed copy of this script is freely available for seekers to study and grow. Mantra initiation for healing can be taken by prior appointment.
