Inspiration from Sacred ArchitectureIs there more to life than meets the eye ? New Acropolis Main Centre at Colaba held a public lecture on 11th February 2023 titled “Principles of Life through Sacred Architecture”.

Architecture in Egypt has continued to be an enigma, with its sacred structures having stood the test of time, in some cases, for millennia. The speaker illustrated the fact that ancient civilisations built monuments keeping certain sacred principles in mind. The Egyptians knew how to connect these principles like the one between the earth and celestial bodies in a harmonious way. It was presented, that perhaps we too need to learn from this and be able to imbibe principles such as beauty, harmony, in our day to day.

To make an effort to construct our lives proactively, rather than respond to circumstances. By questioning the purpose of our life, giving it the right direction, listening to our inner voice are few tips the speaker shared that can help us live such principles. What is perhaps most important, is realising that we are part of a whole and that what is good for the collective is also good for us.

It is up to us to decide, how we would like to construct our lives and move forward.
