The Academy for
a Better World will be known, in Hindi, as
Gyan Sarovar Vidyapeeth. The term gyan
Sarovar means: The Lake of Knowledge. The

which the legend and the myth say that
anyone who dipped into it, emerged as a
fairy or an angel.
On a Scenic
Spot, Near the Main city of lakes for the
purpose of the Academy, a piece of land,
measuring about twenty-three and a half
acres, was acquired by Brahma Kumaris
Ishwariya Vishwa-Vidyalaya, about 4
kilometers from its present International
Headquarters at Mount Abu which is a scenic
city of lakes and is a calm and serene
hill-resort in the Aravali range, where many
Rajput Kings had their own palaces or summer
houses, and where there are many temples and
hermitages. In the ancient texts and
folk-lore, the holy place, Abu, is
associated with the names of sages and
seers. The Delwara Temples here are
specially known for their deep, delicate and
majestic carving in pillars, ceilings and
images.
The
fore-mentioned institutions have built a
modern village in a retreat atmosphere,
without disturbing the natural topography
and the original environment. One can see
here a happy blend of hills, village and
urban and forest elements and an
eco-friendly atmosphere, Here are upcoming a
couple of artificial lakes. This area is
absolutely free from industrial smoke and
from the noise of mega cities. Solar and
Wind Energy and Electricity have been used
to have an environment free from pollution.
