ABOUT MAITREYI
Why Maitreyi?
India’s timeless spiritual culture has its basis in the Vedas- its rich heritage of spiritual traditions is carrying and spreading the essence of India’s ancient wisdom to the world.
The truth of Vedic wisdom is by its very nature independent of time and can therefore never be completely lost: India has seen many times its revival and we feel fortunate to live at a time when the whole world is witnessing the renaissance of Vedic wisdom.
Our pranams go to the Vedic Tradition of Masters, to all family traditions, scholars and acharyas of the various Vedic disciplines and especially to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who with his Vedic Science has inspired and initiated the worldwide revival of Vedic knowledge.
The aim of Maitreyi is to create a place with an atmosphere highly conducive to spiritual growth and dissemination of Vedic knowledge. In the realisation of the Vedic Village the combined vision, inspiration and effort of a group of friends from India and Europe found its expression. The Vedic saying “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam“- the world is one family- expresses our hope that all of you – who will be visiting and staying at the Vedic Village- will become part of Maitreyi’s family.
