| Parampara is a movement to understand all aspects of the Indian tradition with its theoretical and practical treasure house ofknowledge. We endevour to provide a platform for people to contribute something lasting and meaningful to all members of society. At Parampara, we are attempting to integrate traditional wisdom with modern training and applications.
 The task facing us is a formidable one. On the one hand we must put in our collective strength to preserve that which is the most positive and precious in our heritage. On the other hand we must integrate the strengths that we have gathered from our contemporary education and lifestyle so that we may act in a viable manner in the society of our times. Years of suppression has made the Indian mind weary. Some of us have begun to lose confidence in our own civilizational resources, and thoughtless imitation of the West has resulted in the loss of self-respect. We have begun to look at ourselves through others eyes, judge ourselves by what others have to tell us about ourselves. This must change. We have to go back to our roots. The resources of our knowledge and culture are exhaustive and numerous, ranging from science & technology, mathematics, astronomy, architecture, water management, astrology, medicine - all designed and tested for our indegenous needs. We have had traditions of understanding all aspects of existence. The greatest aspect of Indian conciousness is its natural imperative to give back to life more than what is taken from it. All activity, achievement, pursuit and process of self-discipline is "Tapas" which ultimately is to become "Yagya" when one gives back to life what one takes from it.
Woman, the centre of creation - the preserver of tradition in her womb, raises mankind. The nucleus of the female energy is yet to emerge as a substantive force. If each woman could understand the positive contribution she has to make towards the family, society and the nation, the need for purposeful living and for raising herself, there will be a great metamorphosis. A great tomorrow depends upon our youth today. We wish to motivate and intill in them the need to understand the greatness of Indian Culture and Tradition and to carry it forward - raising themselves on all planes - physical, mental and spirtual. | ||

It is through these traditions that we hope to give a creative response for what ails our nation and society. We at Parampara pledge ourselves to the task of nation building, by building our own characters first, and then contributing with all our might to the nation and thus, to the world.
