Sarovar – a Place of Silence and Contemplation |
|
|
The heart of Kirpal Sagar is a Sarovar, an oval-shaped pool surrounded by four corner-buildings. The building in the centre of the basin bears models of the four main types of sacred buildings: the model of a Gurdawara, a Temple, a Mosque and a Church. Their respective shapes symbolically refer to the human body. Reminding us that God resides in man, they are found in all religious traditions - Symbols of the manbody, the 'true Temple of God'. The relation between man and God is the basis of the unity of mankind - the brotherhood of men under the Fatherhood of God. This spiritual link is independent of outer formations. So all religions are respected here.
Holy Scriptures - such as the Guru Granth Sahib of the Sikhs, the Ramayana of the Hindus, Bible and Koran are placed in the corner buildings of the Sarovar. During celebrations, these Scriptures are recited accordingly.
