The impetus for forming CRS was to create accessible and affordable venues for teaching Vedic knowledge in its purity to people in modern society. |
2002 | Michael Mamas founded Mount Soma, a community based upon the fundamental principles of nature, known in the ancient Eastern world as the Veda. By utilizing Vedic technology, a city is being created that radiates harmony and coherence into the environment, called an enlightened city. Every aspect of Mount Soma has been designed to promote people’s spiritual evolution, health, and full potential. Currently, Mount Soma is a spiritual destination center and place of pilgrimage for people from around the world. |
2009 | Dr. Michael Mamas established the Mount Soma Ashram Program. The primary focus of the Ashram Program is the evolution of the individual. However, this core group is the backbone of Mount Soma and the starter culture for bringing Vedic Knowledge to the world. |
2011 | Sri Somesvara, Mount Soma’s Shiva temple, was completed. A foundational element of an Enlightened City is a Vedic temple. It utilizes the principles of Vedic technology to bring out the harmony and coherence at the base of existence and radiate it out. It was designed by a student and relative of Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapati, conforms to U.S. building codes, and was finished by shilpi craftsmen. It contains 46 tons of granite sculpture shipped from India. |
2011 | The MM World Peace Project began with peace yagnyas being performed at the twelve Jyotirlingas in India. Then, it included the eight sacred Ashtavinayaka Ganesh temples in India. The Vedas bless us with the knowledge of a powerful technology capable of bringing peace to the world. Implementing this knowledge is the sole endeavor of MMWPP. This project will continue to expand for years to come. |
2012 | The MM World Men Project was established in India.
