Women’s Role In Rejuvenating The Culture Of Bharat

You may ask if other countries are able to do this. This should not be our concern. When we are able to take care of ourselves, about our individuality, we will be able to achieve total freedom. The foremost aim of the governing body is to fill the hearts of youth with sacred Culture through practical examples of elders and to make them ideal citizens endowed with this kind of total freedom. Here is one example. Since long, in the context of Culture, we have formed certain notions about our customs without understanding their real meaning. Now, we must think in terms of pleasing God and about the customs that are conducive to this effect. Various kinds of theists do worship, no doubt. In what ways are they done? They worship only by way of (Prostration), (Servitude), (Worship to the feet), (Self Surrender), etc. We also consider things like collecting some flowers, offering garlands, and doing some rituals of worship as part of Culture. This is no doubt a right way. But how long one remains in the same level or state? It is clear that this is not a progressive quality. A student should not remain in the same class forever. He aspires promotion to a higher class every year. Worship is similar to this. If we remain always in the same mental condition as we started, then what will be the end? What have we learned regarding our goal? We must think over this.
