Focus and Forward Movement
In the past, many people have focused in this direction of integral living and many are currently bringing this focus into their lives. Samagra (Integral) is such a focus, an effort in which we would like to emphasize integral action based on integral awareness, leading to integral living. Such integral awareness will be all inclusive, affirming various fragments of truth, yet emphasizing the movement forward and upward, to break the boundary of old, narrow visions - visions which cause division, conflict and violence.
The English translation of Samagra is Integral. Samagra, or Integral, means an awareness or action or state in which wholeness or totality is not lost in its components. Everything is perceived in their dynamic oneness, unity and harmony as well as in their diversity and individuality.
Samagra, or Integral, will be a natural meeting place for people, ideas, resources and actions in which the energy of integral awareness will help in the living of an integral life. In integral living, all components of existence, (plants, animals, mineral or matter) including humans, are different but equal partners and, according to their intrinsic qualities, are given an appropriate place in life’s movement. Samagra movement will be based on an awareness of what constitutes a person – the body, emotions, intellect and wholeness or soul - and also all that which forms the universe outside of the person – the family, society and culture, country, earth and nature. Actions will be taken to promote the growth, evolution, and stability of all those constituents.
