Return to Paradise

Myths and religions from around the world refer to a land of beauty and splendor where the gods or spiritually enlightened people dwelt. This heavenly place is referred to as Lemuria or Mu by the Native Americans, as Dilmun in Mesopotamian legends, as the Garden of Indra situated on Mount Meru in the confines of Kashmir in Indian tradition, and as the Garden of Eden in the Bible.

Within these magical gardens, watered by springs and rivulets, were luminous flowers and trees bearing fruits that conferred divine wisdom and immortality. In the Garden of Indra grew the "paridjata," a flower with every scent and flavor that bloomed all year round bringing happiness to whoever wished for it yet losing its splendor in the hands of the sinful. Legends has it that in Lemuria all beings appeared as shimmering, ethereal entities, and people could "see" the healing energies of plants and flowers.
