which consists in our relationship with God, with the church, with the other
Christians and with the people in the world.

which means in Sanskrit a “meditation-garden” or better “the context of God
experience”, is aesthetically and artistically designed to offer a healthy
atmosphere and conducive facilities for the spiritual formation and renewal
programme. Since 1997, this institute has been conducting the long term diploma
course of nine months and other Short-term courses throughout the year, attended
so far by over 6000 religious men and women from India and abroad. More than 35
courses are offered on various subjects by specialised professors throughout the
year, such as Biblical Spirituality, Formation to Integral human maturity,
Psycho-spiritual maturity and emotional healing, spiritual life in Theology,
Sacraments, Prayer and Mysticism, Comparative Religious Spirituality and
Theology of Religious life.
The
Church in India today is buoyant with life and vibrant with activity.
The presence of so many young men and women accepting God’s call to be
consecrated priests and committed religious is a sure sign of its
vitality. The world today is eagerly looking for authentic paradigms of
Christian holiness, and the universal Church today depends someway on
the Indian Church for convinced, qualified and committed religious for
witnessing and furthering of Christ’s worldwide mission.
