Sairam 
The Creation is always within you and everywhere. However there really are sacred places that are in a sense ‘more holy’ due to geological advantage, although these secrets are long forgotten. Such places are only important to a very spiritual person and are not crucial to the average soul.
There is however a temple for the soul. In meditation the expression of love and gratitude is important. Asking for divine intuition is important too especially asking for receiving of signs for guidance. This is essential in achieve a happy and constructive life.
Meditation or communication with The Creation can occur when you feel inspired and through simple private expression in thought.Meditation or communication with The Creation on a regular basis. How you conduct your daily life, your interaction with all that is ‘naturally’ created, be it your fellow human being or the environment…
in fact all life… is your communication with The Creation, and can be as powerful, even more powerful than time and parameters set aside for formal prayer or meditation. you ‘are One’ with your Creator. The soul carries the habits of ones nature, be it that of orderly constructive living or the opposite. This being the case, one can express this as good or bad ‘karma’. Living a good constructive life habit would no doubt earn an afterlife in which the soul will be even more connected to The Creator.
All knowledge gained by every individual life form that has ever existed in the universe is shared and creates an ever expanding memory as a part of The Creation’s expanding knowledge. The traditional name given to these records are The Akashic Records.
The way in which The Creation seems to ‘reprocess’ every life after each passing, is simply to place ‘like’ souls with ‘like’ in their next gift of physical life - murderers with murderers, those with respect for the environment with others who have the same values, some in worlds/places of strife and struggle, others in worlds/places of paradise.
Those that have lived lives that are not completely constructive, the memories of the previous existence are erased, and in each instance, a new chance is provided for the development of more perfected habits.
It is quite likely that once a soul has lived a life that is very constructive, it not only earns paradise but retains the wisdom and all memory of the past life. Some contactees who claim to have interacted with advanced beings, say there are instances of souls who have lived constructive lives being bestowed the privilege of retaining their memory of their previous life.
As per the norm or what our frame of reference tells us, is that we have no recollection of our previous lives.Is our Earth a place of paradise or not? Although there have no doubt been lives that have lived here near perfectionover the ages the sad truth is that as far as history has shown and how statistics appear today, we are heading towards crisis.Our world is slipping very fast into one that would no doubt soon be classified as not paradise. Baba is here to reverse that process .We as his sevaks should do our best in serving the humanity.
