I am seeking a donation from you for an important social project – a minimum of Rs. 400/- or beyond that as per your choice.
From time immemorial the human being has tried to find the meaning of his life. Buddha said ‘do not believe me, find your own answer’. Perhaps, it is not the answer, but the process of searching for the answer in a conducive environment that is crucial, as it places one in deep contact with oneself.
Members of Humanist Movement are building such conducive environments called Parks of Study and Reflection in various parts of the world for people to work on their inner selves.
We are building one such Park in Kandhroli, a place 85 kms away from Mumbai. We have already acquired a 3 acre plot. Some construction has already been done to make the Park functional. Next we have plans for a meditation hall, a residential block and a meeting hall. Attached is a photo report of the project.
This will be a people’s park and as such it is important that maximum people contribute in building it as their own park. We are in the final stages of the construction and it is estimated that we will need around 20,000 bags of cement. We are raising donations in terms of numbers of bags – minimum 1 bag from each donor.
51 bags = Rs. 20,400, and so on.
Please send your cheque for the number of bags you would like to sponsor in the name of "Foundation for Humanisation", payable at Mumbai to: C/o Atul Jadia, 2nd Floor, Shyam Sadan, A Wing, 48, Bajaj Road, Vile Parle West, Mumbai 400 056. Tel: 98211 16842.
In case of net banking the details are : "Foundation for Humanization, Bank : Bank of Baroda, Santa Cruz West Branch, Savings Account no. 04140100009247, IFSC: BARBOSANWES (fifth character is ZERO)

The Parks of Study and Reflection
Welcome to he Parks of Study and Reflection – the place to work on deep internal studies – open to all without any discrimination – on a 3 acre plot at Kandhroli, near Mumbai.
You enter the park through the gate – a boundary separating two spaces : space of external noise with space of internal silence. The space of daily life and that of seclusion and reflection.
Next you approach the Monolith – The kind of architectural structure that we find down the history in all parts of the world. In other times such connectives between “heaven” and “earth” were sometimes referred to as ‘axis’ of the world
Then you move to the Fountain – In all creation myths, water is the source of life, with its infinite attributes of nourishing, giving
life, purifying etc. That is why in ancient civilisation water is the symbol of sacred. In ancient India “linga” was a column of fire that joined the heavens and the earth dividing them and bringing them together at the same time.
On 4th May 2019, we did the ground-breaking ceremony of the meditation hall. The proposed structure to be built like the great Stupa, will be hemispherical and touch the sky with the tip of their cupola. Within this structure, all people, believer or non-believer, can feel at home and focus on their internal world.

The inside of the proposed hall – people arrange themselves in circles – a symbol of equality of all human beings.
Welcome to the internal world where through personal work and reflection
we work to discover the meaning of our life.
