WHAT EKAANTA REPRESENTS
eikant:
EIK + UHNT = ONE + END
n: tranquillity and solitude.
For many, the Sanskrit word ‘eikant’ lends itself to many different interpretations. In its simplest form, it is a place of calm. In its most profound, it is our ability to go to the mind’s ‘quiet place’ for seeking seclusion and serenity from the world that surrounds us. In a sense, ‘eikant’ is distinct from loneliness, being more about conscious, mindful ‘apartness’ that allows us to gain a dispassionate view on the world, while still being emotionally connected to it.
Drawing inspiration from this philosophy, Ekaanta: Mindversity on the Ganges invites you on a journey into mindfulness and self-discovery.
