A culture is the outcome of its leaders and the ideals that they follow in their lives.
Let us look to leaders who have embodied the highest ideal, which is Self-realization. A

on Self-realization can never be overcome by the forces of time. To create such a culture one must bring the message of Vedanta into
all of life, which is also to introduce related aspects of Vedic knowledge like Yoga,
Ayurveda, and the Sanskrit language. This is to
revive a culture of the Dharma, a spiritual field of human is to revive a culture such a
Vedanta that again encompasses all life and is relevant to the entire world is the key to
the spiritual transformation of humanity that the coming millennium requires. |
