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!

 

Join us! YOU make all the difference!

When we wake up to knowing ourselves to be the Spirit having the human experience, we are aware of the laws of karma and laws of dharma. The law of karma is the action that creates the reality. The law of dharma is the goodness that happens. Every breath, we ascend in the inspired goodness we unfold as human reality. To know is to be Ariven.

- Save the life of just one retired cow from slaughter and know that you have saved one precious life of a gentle being that lovingly gave and gave all its life. Imagine saving thousands!
- Would it not be great if we could kick hunger from our planet earth by allocating over 50% of vegetarian produce created from innumerous such sanctuaries around the world?
- Imagine converting the huge extent of cow dung to fire wood alternatives to save vast forests? In countries like India, vast number of trees need to be cut to burn atleast 75% of the dead.
- Imagine being the valuable input behind organic agriculture that requires our super-compost for natural pesticide & natural fertilizer? Producing affordable healthy organic vegetarian food for all will be a blessing for all!
- Imagine such sanctuaries all over the globe following the basic theme of compassion, food sharing, earth nurturing activities and spiritual communities that we create!
- When we, the sensitive, awake and aware folks come together, we will uplift the collective consciousness of humanity through our action and intent simply because we represent the meditative Oneness that is beyond religion and dogma.

So, join us & be an Ariven!

"What is virtuous conduct? It is never destroying life, for killing leads to every other sin. Of all virtues summed by ancient sages, the foremost are to share one's food and to protect all living creatures". -Tirukkural 33: 321-322

Quotes of Sage Thiruvalluvar, 200

"Great indeed is the power acquired through austerity to endure hunger. But greater still is the power of those who relieve the hunger of others." -Tirukkural 23:225

Student: "How 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 Bernard Shaw, Living Grave

 

"Refuse not food to those who are hungry.
When you feed the hungry, you serve the Lord,
From whom is born every living creature.
Those who realize the Self within the heart
Stand firm, grow rich, gather a family
Around them, and receive the love of all." -Taittriya Upanishad

"Cow protection to me is one of the most wonderful phenomena in human evolution. It takes the human being beyond this species. The cow means the entire sub-human world. Man through the cow is enjoined to realize his identity with all that lives. Why the cow was selected for apotheosis is obvious to me. The cow was in India the best companion. She was the giver of plenty. Not only did she give milk, but she also made agriculture possible"

"The cow is a poem of pity. One reads pity in the gentle animal. She is the mother to millions of humanity. Protection of the cow means protection of the whole dumb creation of God. The ancient seer, whoever he was, began with the cow. The appeal of the lower order of creation is all the more forcible because it is speechless. The cow is the purest type of sub-human life. She pleads on behalf of the whole of the sub-human species for justice to it at the hands of man, the first among all that lives. She seems to speak to us through her eyes: 'You are not appointed over us to kill us and eat our flesh or otherwise ill-treat us, but to be our friend and guardian.' I worship it and I shall defend its worship against the whole world."
Mahatma Gandhi
