VISION
Retirement and Vacation Resort Community.
BASIC PRINCIPLES: Building a Resort community and Gathering of like minded individuals of all ages and families based on principles of non-violence and vegetarianism, the teaching of Bhagvan Mahaveer.
SITE SELECTION: We have worked very hard for last four months and investigated over a thousand sites in eight different states. We physically visited about twenty sites in five states and narrowed down to four sites in two states.
At this point we requested Pujya Acharya Shree Chandanaji to come for the final selection. Pujya Acharyaji came to U.S.A. on October 17th 2007 and Pujya Sadhavi Shree Shubhamji who was already in Texas also came to Chicago. We went to Kentuky and Tennessee for visiting these sites. On October 21st 2007, on the ospicious day of Dasera we reached on the site in Tennessee and after arriving at this site Pujya Acharyaji told us that this is the location for The Veerayatan Sarvoday Tirtham. We stayed at this site for 24 hours and experienced entire 24 hours of nature in the mids of wilderness. We saw the beautiful sunset and early morning we saw the beautiful sun rise from the top of the mountain. We wish all of you could see this place in very near future.
This property is consists of 560 Acres with hills and valleys, 5 kilometers of flowing creek, pond and level land. This property is located between Knoxville and Nashville. It is about one hour from Knoxville and about two hours from Nashville.
The climate is very moderate. The nature is awesome. The drive through mountains and valleys are some of the most beautiful. We also went to The Smokey Mountains which was breathtakingly picture perfect and that is only about one and half hour away.
CURRENT PROGRESS: We already have contract to purchase this property. We already have contacted Surveyors, Soil testing Engineers, Civil Engineers, Architects, Title Company, Attorneys, CPA, County President, State, and Local Government Authorities, Utility Companies. We are working tirelessly and keeping in touch with Pujya Acharyaji constantly for her guidance, advise and direction to bring this Veerayatan Sarvoday Tirthan Resort for Retirement and Vacation to reality in very near future.
We are currently also working on different sizes and styles of homes. Pujya Acharyaji has also taken copies of Survey and Topographic drawings with her to decide what common structures and where we are going to have.
