    Kanha Shanti Vanam is a one of a kind place that brings forth a unique blend of a blissfully serene Spiritual Retreat and a well-planned lifestyle supported by modern infrastructure. Set in the lap of nature amidst the lush green fields of Kanha village, Ranga Reddy District (around 25 kilometers from the Rajeev Gandhi International Airport, Hyderabad), Kanha has been planned to be an integrated township having a Spiritual Retreat Centre at its heart surrounded by residential colonies (that would comprise of both independent houses as well as apartments). Referred to by the Great Masters as “The high place in Hyderabad, which is charged with vibrations capable of working wonders”, it is a place that has been envisioned to “become the Jewel of our Mission ”, indicating that “the future of the Mission is there”. All seekers of spirituality from around the world are welcome to come and meditate in the purity and sanctity of the divine atmosphere of Kanha Shanti Vanam. The growing Heartfulness community practicing the Sahaj Marg system of meditation (a simple and effective heart-based practice), is fast becoming a reference point for peace and unity across the world. Kanha is at the heart of that community. The retreat center is designed to facilitate extensive spiritual training & mentoring programs that aim at promoting personal inner experience and providing opportunities to learn and contribute. Currently a considerable amount of building and construction work is being quietly carried out maintaining the peace and tranquility of the Ashram. This includes construction of dormitories & dining for 5000 people, meditation hall, kitchen, toilets and other facilities that could host a spiritual gathering of over 50,000 people for a few days. In the last couple of years over 50,000 plants have been planted and are being nurtured in this divine atmosphere. The Hummingbird Today’s session found its way to our hearts, which blossomed as we directed our awareness towards the heart and tried to capture the whispers arising from it. We sowed the seeds of pure intention, and with sensitivity tried to reap them as the heart whispers its dream. The session also inspired us to become aware of the synchronicities around us, and Vasco shared his own touching story and connection with the hummingbird, how he came across the image, the bird itself and its repeated appearances in different walks of his life, as an indication that he is on the right path, the path of his heart. He encouraged us to follow our dreams by listening to the whispers that grow stronger in our hearts. The Second Vatican Council, in its “Declaration on Non-Christian Religions” (Nostra Aetate), taught that “the Church rejects nothing that is true and holy in [other] religions,” and encouraged Catholics to “recognize, preserve and promote the spiritual and moral values as well as the social and cultural values to be found among them.” Following this direction, the All India Seminar in 1969, which was attended by the hierarchy and representatives of the whole Catholic Church in India, spoke of the “wealth of truth, goodness and beauty in India’s religious tradition” as “God’s gift to our nation from ancient times.” The seminar showed the need of a liturgy “closely related to the Indian cultural tradition,” and theology “lived and pondered in the vital context of the Indian spiritual tradition.” In particular, the need was expressed to establish authentic forms of monastic life in keeping with the best traditions of the Church and spiritual heritage of India. Anticipating the Second Vatican Council and the All India Seminar, “three wise men from the West”––the title given by Br. John Martin referred to Jules Monchanin, Henri le Saux, and Bede Griffiths––founded the pioneer Christian ashram in India, Saccidananda Ashram, which is usually known by its other name, the name of the piece of land on which it is built––Shantivanam. Shantivanam, Saccidananda Ashram, is a Camaldolese Benedictinemonastic community in South India. “Shantivanam” means literally the “forest (vana
