The Story of Ekam
Ekam means Oneness. It is a sacred place built to help people experience the Divine. What makes Ekam special is its powerful spiritual energy, created by its unique architecture and the presence of a golden, mystical energy form called the Hiranyagarbha - also known as the Golden Orb or Cosmic Womb.
What is the Hiranyagarbha?
The concept of the Hiranyagarbha comes from the Rig Veda, one of the oldest spiritual texts in the world, written over 10,000 years ago. The ancient sages had a transcendent experience: they saw that the Cosmic Womb became the universe. Everything we see - time, space, matter, energy, life and consciousness - is this source. Modern science refers to a similar idea as the Big Bang.
At the heart of Ekam is the representation of the Cosmic Womb. When people enter its inner sanctum, many have powerful, personal spiritual experiences - regardless of their faith or beliefs.
Where Did the Hiranyagarbha Come From?
Long ago, Sri Bhagavan, the father of Sri Krishnaji, saw the Hiranya Garbha appear inside him when he was just 3 years old. He would chant mantras to it for many years, knowing it had come to help humanity. When he turned 21, the golden orb disappeared.
Years later, the Hiranyagarbha reappeared to Sri Krishnaji, at the age of 11, while he was studying at a school called Jeevashram, founded by his father. The emergence of the Hiranyagarbha or the cosmic womb in his consciousness lead Sri Krishnaji into experiencing multitudes of transcendent states of consciousness. Healing flowed to animals and his classmates. His school mates and their parents experienced immense inner stillness and divine presence as they sat around him.
When Sri Krishnaji shared this with his father, Sri Bhagavan realized that the divine energy he had once carried had now returned in his son - and that its purpose was to awaken humanity.
The Gift of Deeksha
Sri Krishnaji was guided to transfer this divine energy to others. When he did, people around him — including students and their families - had a direct experience of the universal intelligence or the divine, states of deep peace, joy, bliss and oneness. This divine gift became known as Deeksha, a sacred energy transfer that continues to transform lives around the world today.
