Our Cultural Heritage
our spiritual center, or other saints and administrators of such cultural and social institutions, to resolve such issues. The problems will be there as long as there is life, while living in the family and society. However, they can be resolved by proper understanding, compromising attitude, good family ties and overall friendly atmosphere. A good religious and cultural background is specially conducive in rectifying all the above ailments.
In this new age, in the name of modernism, people dislike religion, saints and scriptures. This type of athestic attitude is the root cause of many difficulties. Although our cultural traditions, religion and scriptures are the outcome of highly enlightened and practical view of life, we have proved weak in understanding and in properly representing the same to the modern society. Therefore, instead of sectarian, stubborn and traditional saints, we need awakened and detached great people like Shrimad Rajchandra, Swami Vivekanand, Saint Vinobaji, Swami Shivananda, Rang Avdhut, Ravindranath Tagore and such others who carry on and show us the fundamental values and dignity of human life in present day. These great people have contributed immensely in an impartial way to unfold the inherent greatness
