JiVa 5 Lotus

India's "SHANTI CAFÉ" - Jiva 5 Lotus Project (in collaboration with Singapore's "The Metaphysical House Pte Ltd - The Jiva Cafe de la Soul")

About “The Shanti Café” – Puttaparthi/India

The Shanti café is a small café in Puttaparthi, a town-ashram in India where Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba resides and many people from all around the world travel to experience love and peace for their spiritual transformation. The mission of His organization is Universal, effecting a transformation of consciousness and heart through service activities that will lead to a transformation in the world.

The café is set in a tranquil area and setting of Puttaparthi and its layout and design has tried to stay true to the metaphysical principles of Vastu and Feng-shui. Along with this aspect, its decor uses natural earthy colors and materials, thus combining geomancy, aesthetics and a comfortable café plan to create an ambiance of simplicity and peace. To find the café, it is located at the ground floor of Sudha Apartments, West 1st Cross, Gopuram Road (on the way to the Shanti Library next to the Sai Baba Ashram’s north outer wall)

All are welcome to come and enjoy the services provided – coffees, healthy herbal teas, shakes, juices, ice cream & sandwiches, the availability of advaitic, metaphysical and healing books for your reading as well as the opportunity to receive your vedic astrological (jyotish) print outs with a short consultations of your charts. Other forms of divination will be available for a fun “metaphysical” day of the week.

Our Jiva 5 Lotus Project Proposal

The Jiva/Shanti café is also in the process of initiating a project called the Jiva 5 Lotus Project; a project that plans to provide a business model based on social entrepreneurship for the benefit of all included.

The Meaning of “Jiva 5 Lotus”


JiVa = Being (also is an acronym for Jyotish InSight Vedantic Association)

5 = 5 Human values (Truth, Right Action/Dharma, Love, Peace, Non-violence)

Lotus = Compassion (and the blossoming of Consciousness/sarva dharma symbol)

It’s vision is to become a business model that practices the 5 human values to serve all being “needs” with compassion for the development and expansion of consciousness

The project proposes to provide an example of how a business can run to further serve the ideals of the Sai Baba mission by providing the opportunity for “contributors” to join in a transparent and efficient model that allows them to make an income, develop their spiritual creativity and serve the sick, needy and young.

Long Term Dream

The Shanti cafe concept coming to Singapore as:-

The Jiva café – de la soul
will be at "little India" – Serangoon road - where the backpackers tend to stay as it is the cheaper option for lodging for travellers and rent for proprietors in Singapore.

It will be well located between Bugis Junction Flea markets and Orchards road, with back packers taking the metro (MRT)to the junction from the Changi air-port and then walking from Bugis to Serangoon road.

The Jiva Cafe - de la soul will also have an adjoining back packers (Pilgrim Backpackers) for spiritual seekers (de la Soul)with tours from within and around the “hub” of Singapore.

The premise rented will have a Jiva 5 Lotus shop importing relevant goods from India

Tours might later be arranged once a google earth virtual (i = eye = plan view) web-site of Puttaparthi, Arunachala and Navagraha Temples of the South of India, Tamil Nadu, are set up for India ie. metaphysical cafe with jyotish (vedic astrological) reading and books, leading to trips to Nadi astrological records of leaf readings in Bangalore, Tiruvanamalai or Chidambaram and visits to the relevant "Navagraha" planetary temples and sites of South India.

About - the Jiva Cafe -de la Soul Singapore

TRANCE-IT 4 THE SOUL
MUSE-IT 4 MYSTIC
EAT-IT 4 THOUGHT

The Club Jiva Cafe uses a metaphysical (5 elemental, values, fibinaccio number etc.) theme, with mandalas and yantras around a trance tribal memorabilia on the cafe club's walls from the 5 colour races (black, brown, yellow, red and white), playing holographic real time 3D images (using Midi ie. a virtual mandala club) to Jazz Indian - Funk Fusion Folk & Tribal Trance music - tribal trance around an indian core sound.
(ie. "Ji-FT" - get my drift! http://www.jivajift & http://www.clubjivacafe.com)

http://http://chakrapaediaportal.blogspot.com//2008/12/metaphysical-religion-of-identity.html

Instruments used are tribal, with Digeree doo, tabala and celtic violin, accompanied by a live trance-DJ and raga-tala "swara" singers to form the band - the Jiva Gypsies http://www.jiva-gypsies.com.

Their muse of mantra, music and the metaphysics of tribal trance helps transport the audience higher (up the 7 chakras of the body related to 7 swara sounds of space to harmonise the 5 elements) through their unique Jiva feverish "feel" - a hypnotic melody (kirtan) growing in trance tempo and bringing one to acoustic bliss.

Performances with diner ("Barathemenco" - synthesis of flamenco and bharathanathiam dance forms as well as other cultural tribal fusion forms) are on show before the club opens the floor for dancing.

The Menu is based on a mood foods, borrowed from a book on famous vegetarians; from Pythagorus and Plato to modern times, the food uses their "palates" to create dishes and drinks based on diets with these great personages' names to title the dish, as well as an explanation of each dish on 5 levels of nutritionals, macro-biotics, Ayurveda (dosha/guna) & TCM (Yin/Yang/Chi), and 9 Vedic planetary correspondences. (Wines and beers are served but as far as meat goes; only a couple of seafood dishes are available)

The Cafe & Club TM under JIva5 is the image of a Tibetan Sun with "third eyes" forming the rays around the perimeter. The words, "Club JIVA Cafe" are seen around the inner top edge of the sun's circle, the words "de la Soul" in the centre of the circle.

Note some mistakes to the logo: words "de la" should be immediately above "sOul" and above it should read "club JIVA cafe" rather then the Jiva cafe

Lastly, the words around the inner base, in small print, are "eat it, muse-it, trance-it 4 ONE Life org-cosmic"!
