Acharya Prashant describes his vision for what a temple should truly represent, emphasizing that it must be a center for intellectual discourse and healthy debate. He suggests that temples should be places where scholars from various fields, including economics, geopolitics, physics, and medicine, converge to share knowledge. According to him, visitors should leave a temple enriched by profound lectures and discussions on cutting-edge advancements in science and global affairs. He argues that a temple must serve as a place of learning and knowledge first, as this clarity regarding the world is a prerequisite for reaching the mystical dimension. He further explains that consciousness cannot transcend into mysticism while burdened by worldly entanglements and ignorance. By gaining freedom through knowledge, consciousness becomes capable of flying toward higher dimensions. Acharya Prashant envisions a composite institution that houses both scientific laboratories and artistic performances, such as world-class dance, within the same campus. He expresses a deep hope to see such a temple established, where the foundation is mystical but the expression includes a wide range of human knowledge and creativity.
