“Book Descriptions: During sessions on Indian Culture, questions often asked by youth indicate deep interest in and sometimes a lack of clarity about the subject. Hence, this book. In 6 parts and several chapters it takes us on a journey to understand the fundamentals of Indian culture: Vision of Life, Values of Life and Systems of Life, the causes for the degradation and the road ahead—not in isolation but in the context of other cultures. As in a journey there are stations—brief and purposeful pauses—so in this book.
It pauses in between for Crucial Consideration—marked sections in the chapters—to examine the gap between ideals and our practice. It helps us reflect and where necessary, rectify our approach. It pauses again for Targeted Questions and Vision-Based Answers—questions that youth ask—sometimes genuine but often out of confusion created by western frameworks of looking at Indian practices. The answers can be grasped only in the light of our framework— the Vision of Oneness and hence they are Vision-Based.
But these are pauses for the ultimate destination –Human Evolution and so the book looks at the world scenario, India’s mission and how we can respond and contribute to it at the civilizational and individual levels. This book is meant for all those who are keen to understand and incorporate—more consciously and deeply— the eternal principles of Indian culture into their daily routines and professions, families and surroundings. It is for all those who believe that our lives have a greater purpose and it is inextricably linked with the Mission and destiny of India.” DRIVE
