One life is not enough to explore the greatness of this land and celebrate its vibrant culture. However, invasions and westernized education, economic compulsion has led many of us out of such vibrant eco system in search of livelihood and societal acceptance. It is true each Bharatiya feels the importance of restoring this great land to its pristine glory. Today, there are very few people who practise and propagate the sacred values of our culture. Though the culture of Bharat is ancient, it is ageless and as relevant in the contemporary scene and, hence, it should be practised and propagated in every village

It is extremely important that we strengthen this cultural thread because if you destroy this culture, there will be no spiritual process on the planet
