GANGA SAGAR MEDITATION & SCULPTURE GARDENS
*Native Americans believe that the pond on the property was formed by a meteorite, and that unique forces of nature mysteriously keep the pond’s water level always higher than Ramapo River’s, which runs across from our property.
* The
pond will be cleaned in accordance with the state laws. Water from the river Ganges will be brought from India and merged with
the pond waters. A meandering brook
will be designed to flow around the 1.2 acres of gentle slopes that surround
the pond. Lush gardens, gazebos and
areas for quiet contemplation and meditation will be created around the
pond. Facilities for outdoor special
occasions will be provided.
*
Open-air concerts, weddings and other ceremonies could be performed
amidst picturesque surroundings.
*
Sculptures dedicated to Peace, Non-violence, and Unity-in-Diversity will
be placed aesthetically within the gardens.
*
Estimated costs $650,000
