India's timeless spiritual culture (referred to in ancient times as the "Vedic Culture"), has an allure that has beckoned millions over countless centuries to its rich heritage of spiritual tradition. It is no exaggeration to state that when one contemplates the past and present world cultures, whose civilizations have imbibed the greatest heights of spirituality, India stands as "the crown jewel".
Come join us as we work to build a world-class repository for Vedic culture in Sedona, Arizona. The proposed $70 million Sedona Center of Vedic Culture will bring India's great spiritual tradition to the sacred landscape of Red Rock Country.
Sedona is recognized as a storehouse of spiritual energy and was well-known to Native American tribes as a spiritual center long before the first Europeans gazed upon its red rocks. With 64% of its 4.5 million annual visitors seeking a spiritual experience, Sedona serves as the perfect backdrop for the dissemination of Vedic Culture.
The Sedona Center of Vedic Culture will include:
- Authentic Indian-style Jagannatha Temple (modeled after the famous temple in Puri, India)
