Manav Kendra II

 Man Making Centre

It is a well-known fact that whenever the Lord wants to meet His loving souls, he comes upon the earth as Saints and mystics and serves their lives in this long service of love and compassion to humanity.
From the early times, Humanity has been driven by the Saints through the ages to serve Humans and tell the Truth to the World. What are We? What we are doing here and many more questions which arise in the human mind. But all the Answers to these questions are taken out of the Saints and the Mystics and being served to mankind, which makes a human, a human in actual perspectives.
One of these efforts was put in by Sant Kirpal Singh. Throughout his life, he gave teachings to Mankind About Humanity, Peace, And Love and for the same purpose, he built Manav Kendra at Dehradun.

Master with people, giving answers to their questions

And for this compassionate work to Mankind, he got awarded The Order of Saint John of Jerusalem( Knights of Malta), he was the first non-Christian who receive this Award. He also gets elected as president of the World Fellowship of Religions( an organisation recognised by UNESCO). He also addressed the Indian Parliament on 1 August 1974; he was the first Saint who had been invited for such an occasion at the Indian Parliament.

Master giving a talk to people

Good work had been done by the World Fellowship of Religions and now people can mix with each other but one danger is ahead and that is the leadership to these as the Master said that they should also know thyself, about their soul and actual home, despite the outer appearance they have same to inner way.
To combat this, Religious Chauvinism. It was thought to start work for regeneration at the root level. Man-Making must take precedence, and it could only be possible by including people to inculcate them into the Idea of selfless love and service and it could only be done by the emphasis on man service, land service, animal service and with this idea, it took its real shape with the construction of Manav Kendra.

Master Standing At Mansarovar

A story related to the construction of Manav Kendra is-
The First Structure Built at Manav Kendra was a four-story building or Tower holding a water tank at the top. Before the work begins to pour Concrete forms for the roof. The Master had all Men, Women, and Children stand together while one man led them by singing a song from the Scriptures. The singing continued all through the night at the work. Women carried the baskets of mud, and the men hoisted them to the tower top by ladder. Because the work of pouring concrete had to be completed, people were working till one o'clock at noon. Master went to his room. Everyone wondered as the Master went to his room for rest. Then a message gets passed to all to come for the Langar, and what they saw over there is that the Master was serving food on each plate to all five hundred workers, and all were surprised by this event.

There is an oval-shaped reservoir, called Mansarovar or Sarovar by the people. The land below it has a natural spring which provides water without pumping to the pool, which is 350 feet long and 250 feet wide. This place is created for people to come here and meditate.
