Paratpar Guru (Dr) Athavale (Source of inspiration for the ‘Hindu Nation’) created a model of the ‘Divine Rule’ in the form of Sanatan Ashram
Sanatan ashram at Ramnathi, Ponda sanctified by the presence of H.H. (Dr.) Athavale
Many seekers experience Chaitanya, Anand and Shanti in Sanatan Sanstha’s Ashram at Ramnathi (Goa), sanctified due to the presence of Paratpar Guru (Dr) Athavale. The self-discipline, perfect planning, love of the seekers etc. have made the Ashram a model of the future ‘Divine Rule’. This Ashram is the hub of many activities such as the mission to establish the ‘Divine Rule’, Adhyatma Vishwavidyalay, Holy texts on Spirituality, Research on the subtle world etc.
Reflective corridor tiles : These are two different corridors on the second floor. We can see the entire reflection of the person from head to toe along with details such as colour and shape.
Part 1 of 3 Reflection in balcony : In this picture we show you the entire scene of the two ladies on either side of the glass on the balcony adjoining the study room of H.H. Dr Athavale. The window glass displays a high level of reflectivity and transparency.
Part 2 of 3 Reflection in balcony : Following up from the last picture we have taken the camera closer to the glass during day time and it is difficult to make out which is the reflection and which is the person behind the glass.
Part 3 of 3 Reflection in balcony : Following up from the last picture we have taken the camera closer to the glass during night time and it is difficult to make out which is the reflection and which is the person behind the glass.
Part 1 of 3 Reflection in door : This is the first in a series of 3 pictures showing reflection. This picture shows the entire scene with 2 ladies standing on 2 balconies. There is a wooden door adjoining the 2 balconies. Just to the right of the wooden door, there is a white door with a glass pane on it.
Part 2 of 3 Reflection in door : Further to the last picture, we have opened the wooden door & observed both balconies through the glass pane on the white door. As you can see both ladies are superimposed on each other because of the high transparency and reflectivity of the glass.
Part 3 of 3 Reflection in door : Here we have asked the ladies to leave the balcony and we see the reflection of just the balcony railings. In the reflection we see a perfect symmetry of the 2 railings superimposed on one another.
Reflection and transparency : The glass on the balcony door of H.H. Dr Athavale's room has a high level of reflection & transparency. When viewing the road & tree lit up with yellow light from the street lamp through the glass, we can also see the clear reflection of the bathroom door.
Luminescent baluster : Due to a unique display of reflections the baluster through the window seems luminescent and it seems as if the tree leaves are within it.
Watery surface on corridor tiles : A seeker fixing the ladder to the loft in one of the corridors. Observe the watery kind of surface and colours in the reflection
Reflection of plantation on tiles : This is a picture of a tile on a staircase in the studio building of Sanatan Ashram catching the reflection of the plantation outside.
Reflection of plantation on tiles : This is a close-up picture of the same tile on a staircase as in the previous picture.
Reflective corridor tiles : These are two different corridors on the second floor, both exhibiting similar levels of reflection. We can see the entire reflection of the person from head to toe along with details such as colour and shape.
Is the floor wet? : It is amazing that simple kota tiles, which have not been given a mirror finish can look so reflective. If one looks at them, a wave like illusion is created. The observer feel that they are actually looking at a lake.
Like an infinity pool : The edges of the reception porch look like the edges of an infinity pool. The reflection of the plants can be seen very clearly on the porch. The important point is that no extra polishing has been given to these tiles.
Waterlike surface at the entrance : When looking at the porch from an East West direction, apart from the reflection, one can see ripples in the tiles making it seem as though there is water splashed on the surface.
Watery surface as an infinity pool : Heightened reflection was seen in the front porch area of the Sanatan Ashram. The surface looks like an infinity pool.
Watery lake like surface : Heightened reflection was seen in the front porch area of the Sanatan Ashram. The two temples and the landscape behind them can be clearly seen.
Reflection even in low light : This is a picture taken at night with hardly any light in the porch area. Even so the details of the white car on the tiles along with the Tulsi plant are seen very clearly.
Flood like appearance : Due to the reflectivity and surface of the kota tiles rippling and the way this picture has been taken, it seems as if the car is wading through flood waters. The reflectivity is as much as it was in the previous picture even though the sky is overcast.

Ashram's lake like front porch : The front porch resembled a lake like surface and it seems as if the cars have been duplicated on it.
Highly reflective Ashram porch : The front porch of the main entrance to the Sanatan Ashram is made of kota (limestone) tiles. Even though a minimum amount of finishing has been applied to the tiles, the surface has become highly reflective over the years.
