Dhyankaksh
Overview of the Sanctuary: Dhyankaksh, meaning 'Meditation Chamber', is a non-profit spiritual sanctuary established by the Satyug Darshan Trust and was inaugurated on January 26, 2014. It is designed as an ideal spiritual spot to teach the science of inner dimensions through a systematic process of meditation. The foundation of the centre symbolizes the onset of the Golden Era or Satyug, promoting universal brotherhood and peace. It welcomes all visitors regardless of their religion, caste, creed, or social status, emphasizing a core message of oneness and spiritual equality, which is central to its philosophy. The place fosters a serene and calming environment away from the city's hustle, encouraging personal growth and a positive outlook on life, acting as a place for both introspection and community spiritual learning. Spiritual Significance and Teachings: The main purpose is to impart knowledge on how to achieve equanimity (a state of mental calmness and composure) and even-sightedness through a structured form of meditation. Volunteers are available to guide visitors and explain the profound spiritual meaning embedded in the structure's design and the seven guiding principles (Human Values) of contentment, endurance, truthfulness, righteousness, equality, selflessness, and benevolence, which are symbolically represented throughout the campus. The experience is designed to connect individuals with their real, spiritual self and transform their nature (swabhav).:

Its defining feature is a double-dome structure, symbolizing the vastness of the cosmos and the inner self. The entire structure is meticulously surrounded by a waterbody, representing purity and the flow of life, with hand-printed tiles on the pool floor depicting the five elements of life.
Key Architectural Dimensions and Features:
The building has three floors: the Basement (School of Equanimity), the Ground Floor (Sargun Floor), and the First Floor (Nirgun Floor). Entry is facilitated by a simple marble bridge crossing the surrounding water. Before reaching the main structure, visitors pass through seven larger-than-life gates, each a symbolic representation of the seven Human Values. The most striking element is the First Floor (Nirgun floor), where the top dome is entirely gold plated and illuminated by a central sun-shaped golden ring. Inside this floor, over one lakh (100,000) crystals are intricately used between the gold-plated leaves, creating a unique, luminous effect that reflects the centrally situated lightened flame, which itself is a reflection of the divine flame on the top of the double-dome structure. The Sabha Bhawan, an adjoining structure, is a pillarless auditorium used for cultural and spiritual events. The total seating capacity across the three floors is approximately five hundred people. : -
