WORD TO THE WISE:

WHEN YOU FOLLOW NATURE, HAPPINESS FOLLOWS YOU.

Nature had always been central to life for our ancestors. Celebrated in song and scriptures, worshipped in temples and traditions, nature defined our agrarian culture and lifestyle. However, migration and rapid urbanization over the years made people lose their cultural roots.

Globally, weather conditions are worsening day by day and pollution increasing every minute; yet city dwellers ignore the signs of warning on their health..But no worries, there are people who still care for everyone’s well-being..

WHO NEEDS REASONS TO CELEBRATE?

At Kshetra, festivals can turn into events of great merriment. Colours and flowers, lights and laughter, night-long dancing and delicacies of myriad tastes and lots more the community would come alive with revelry. Since traditions are a key theme at Kshetra, festivals like Sankranthi and Jatara would be celebrated in the authentic manner that was custom for our grandparents and ancestors. Festivities can become most frequent as Kshetra is open to people of all cultures.

LITTLE JOYS AND GREAT DELIGHTS

The rhythmic graph of love may well ascend to new heights in Kshetra. Because, like all things natural, relationships and family bonds are strengthened only when nurtured with love and care, in quiet moments, uninterrupted except for the sweet birdsong and the gentle caress from the Deccan breeze.

The fragrance of flowers in your garden, the swaying of trees and two hearts beating as one… can there be a more romantic setting to reignite a passion?

LESSON FROM THE LOTUS: SIT, SMILE, THAT’S IT!

Kshetra’s has a tranquil Eco-pond with a zen-like quality pervading everything around it. For instance, the silent blooms of lotus.

The lotus offers a great life lesson: it holds on to neither dew-drops nor swampy water, suggesting a sage-like equanimity at all times. Families could gather here, as they did in the olden days, to whisper about life’s challenges and ways to resolve them. If the singing of a cuckoo distracts you, don’t mind him.

Young individuals too can come here to contemplate on ways to woo their heart’s desire, and consider whether or not a ‘sage-like equanimity’ is a satisfying way to react, should they fail to get a date.

SHARING LAUGHTER AND MATCHING STEPS WITH NEIGHBOURS

When a family comes together for a small celebration, a couple of hours can turn into an all-night party when friends turn up. And if occasion demands, young feet and old bones can forget all worldly cares and join in a jig, matching steps the traditional way – shoulder to shoulder, arm in arm.

Kshetra is a place where bonds remain ever strong because we live by and cherish age-old traditions; and every family member has a special place in this happy little world.
