The first Vedic Planetarium was
opened in Lima Peru.
Situated next to the beach of the
Pacific Ocean the planetarium is drawing much attention from the Peruvian
press and public. The 20 dome complex has the seven main temples of Vrindavan
incorporated. There is also a journey following the path of Gopa Kumar
in the Brihad Bhagavatamrita from his place in Prayag all the way to meet
with Lord Krishna. On the way he passes through the different planetary
systems and meets with all destinations which the soul may achieve. Full
of yantras and paintings the visitors experience a spiritual journey. Around
the Vedic Planetarium we find many projects to accommodate the visitors:
* A vegetarian restaurant, rooms
to stay or tents.
* Two yoga monasteries, one for
men and one for woman.
* The organic farm supplies all
with healthy products.
* There is a center of the Harmony
School for Conscious Art with a gallery and a production place including
a graphic press.
Opened in the presence of local
authorities and sannyasis from all
over the world, the function was
full of joy.
A big march was held in Lima inviting
all people to join the happy celebration. The project was offered to Srila
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada who had envisioned a Vedic planetarium
as part of his gift to the world. It is the perfect place to visit if you
want to visit Peru or want to spend some days or weeks in the spiritual
atmosphere of a Yoga monastery.
