What is Hara?
The meaning of this ancient word is as diverse as it is profound.
In Sanskrit, Hara means removing, taking away and destroyer, which ultimately is a representation of Lord Shiva.
In Hindi, Hara represents the color of green, which is connected with the heart chakra - Anahata.
In Chinese, we understand Hara as the navel: The Source of Life and The Gate of the Spirit.
In Japanese, Hara means one's true nature; who one truly is as a human being. When we remember our true nature then we are completely open and at ease with ourselves and speak the truth.
In Yogic philosophy, Hara is an energy healing technique to align our ego self with the intentions of our Higher Self – in other words, our soul purpose.
In Buddhism, Hara can be seen as the unification of a person's physical, psychological and spiritual dimensions.
For us, taking all of this into consideration - we believe that Hara encompasses all qualities we choose to reflect with our offerings of Holistic Education.
