ARTIST & CONTRIBUTORS INFO BELOW 🦚 Arunachala Sound Temple Beneath the gaze of Shiva’s sacred Mount Arunachala, 12km from the Sri Ramanasramam Ashram lies a sacred piece of land, set in a rural community, surrounded by flower fields. Out of this land we are creating a living community, centred in a sound temple, drawing together like-minded people to build a lifestyle of meditation, yoga and sound healing in the energy field of the mountain. 🎼 Music is the glue for every community; it has bound villages and communities together for centuries. We understand how people have lost a sense of balance and inherent health and this is a way to reconnect them to their own centre through sound. Music shows the health of a person and a community and through sound, communities have healed their members through ritual, daily practice and spiritual balance. In Arunachala Sound Temple all are welcome. 🌏 Our vision To create an environment of peaceful living, removed from the hustle and bustle of city life; a haven where people can escape to find peace, balance and vitality through sound experiences and ritual. We’re establishing this as the first sound temple centre where scholars, wisdom seekers and spiritual researchers can come for yoga, meditation and the spiritual and healing qualities of sound. Ultimately this project will evolve into a model village project that can be applied to other villages with similar characteristics and potential. We are looking at ways to bring awareness and to reconnect people to their soul, with nature and to their own spirituality. And we believe that this piece of land in Tiruvannamalai is the ideal place. http://arunachalasoundtemple.org/ [email protected] 🌿 Nature Tales Is a community helping people connect to their own Nature through Movement & Music.
