Param Pujya Dongreji Maharaj: 

Among the many radiant saints who have nourished the spiritual landscape of Bhārata, Param Pujya Shri Pandurang Shastri Athavale–Dongreji Maharaj occupies a special, tender place. His voice carried the sweetness of bhakti, his mind shone with scriptural mastery, and his heart throbbed with an almost maternal concern for the spiritual upliftment of every seeker who came before him. To listen to his discourses was to experience a stream of grace—steady, compassionate, and transformative.

A Childhood Steeped in Sacredness

Dongreji Maharaj was born into a family where dharma flowed like a natural river. From early childhood he was exposed to Vedic recitation, scriptural study, and the atmosphere of devotion and seva. The young Pandurang Shastri showed an unusual combination of sharp intellect and deep humility. Even before he reached adulthood, his teachers recognized in him the rare ability to absorb, remember, and interpret the vast scriptural heritage of our land.

Scriptures did not sit on his tongue—they settled in his heart. And when the heart is illuminated, life becomes an offering. So it was with him.

Master of the Shrimad Bhagavatam

If there is one text with which Dongreji Maharaj’s name shines inseparably, it is the Shrimad Bhagavatam. He was not merely a scholar of the Purānas—he became a living vessel of the Bhagavata message. His pravachans were never dry intellectual explanations; they were Kathā in the purest traditional sense, where the narrator becomes a transparent medium for divine truths to flow through.

Listeners often remarked that when he spoke, the characters of the Bhagavatam seemed to descend into the gathering, bringing with them the fragrance of Vrindavan, the majesty of Vaikuntha, and the compassion of Bhagavān Himself.

What set Dongreji Maharaj apart was his ability to bring subtle philosophy into the listener’s heart without burden, like a mother feeding a child with love rather than instruction. Whether he explained the creation hymn, the birth of Krishna, or the path of devotion shown by the Gopis, his words dissolved doubts and awakened a natural, spontaneous devotion.

Dongreji Maharaj’s Kathās were not events—they were pilgrimages. Thousands gathered not merely to listen, but to be transformed. He saw no one as ordinary. Every listener was, in his eyes, a soul searching for its forgotten divinity. It was this gaze of reverence that healed hearts even before the Katha began.

A famous incident illustrates this:

During one Bhagavata Saptāh, a poor farmer approached him with tears. “Maharaj,” he said, “I cannot understand Sanskrit. I cannot grasp philosophy. What am I to take from this sacred text?”

Dongreji Maharaj smiled and replied:

“Take the Lord. All the rest is commentary.”

This was his essence. The goal of life, he taught, is not to become erudite but to become intimate with the Divine. His compassion did not discriminate between the scholar and the labourer, the wealthy and the poor, the educated and the unlettered. To him, every human was a temple waiting for its lamp to be lit.

Dongreji Maharaj believed that devotion without service is incomplete. Quoting the Bhagavata, he emphasized that seva is not charity—it is an expression of love. He encouraged his listeners to live a life where dharma, bhakti, and karma were inseparable.

Under his influence, many found new meaning in daily living: seeing their family as sacred responsibility, their work as worship, and their interactions as opportunities to express kindness.

Saints do not leave monuments; they leave transformed hearts. Dongreji Maharaj’s legacy lives in:

the countless devotees who found solace in the Bhagavatam, the students who discovered purpose in dharma,the households where satsanga became a way of life, and the seekers whose faith deepened not through fear, but through understanding.

His voice may no longer echo in the physical world, but his message continues to live—timeless, gentle, yet powerful.

“Where there is love for God, there is the end of all suffering.”

—Dongreji Maharaj

 The Saint Who Made Scripture a Companion

In an age where life moves rapidly and the mind grows restless, Dongreji Maharaj’s teachings remind us that spirituality is not an escape from life but a way of deepening it. He taught that the Bhagavata is not a text to be visited once, but a companion to be lived with—its stories guiding our emotions, its philosophy strengthening our mind, and its devotion softening our heart.

The Lord is near.

The Lord is loving.

And the Lord is waiting for us to turn inward.

Must listen to all of them.

Hastam.

 Anjali refers to folding one’s hands before God as an expression of devotion and surrender. Acharya Sri Alavandar highlights the profundity of this gesture in the 28th verse of his ‘Stotra Rathnam’. Swamy Vedanta Desika further glorifies its spiritual significance in his treatise, Anjali Vaibhavam.

Anjali should be offered only to the Supreme Lord and His Divine Consort. The sacred gesture may be performed at any time. Anyone, regardless of caste, creed, religion, or gender, can perform.

Dr. Venkatesh mentioned in a discourse that Anjali may be performed by raising the hands above the head or by holding them together at the chest. If, due to misfortune, a person is unable to perform Anjali physically, it is sufficient to offer it mentally, through sincere contemplation. One may perform Anjali either with a complete understanding of its significance or even without it — the gesture, whether physical or mental, is accepted by the Lord when offered with devotion.

Shri Parasara Bhattar beautifully states in the ‘Gunaratna Kosa’ that Goddess Mahalaksmi feels a tender regret. She cannot bestow anything greater than Moksha — the highest and final blessing — in response to our simple act of Anjali. Such is her boundless compassion. It is enough if a person performs even a single Anjali with sincerity. There is no stipulation that one must do it repeatedly or with elaborate effort. Even one heartfelt gesture is sufficient to draw Her infinite grace.

Anjali has the divine power to melt God’s heart and draw His abundant grace upon us. Its benefits are instantaneous. It dispels all negative influences and wipes away our sins, even without our awareness. It removes the lingering effects of our past misdeeds, leaving no trace behind. Through Anjali, one receives every blessing, benefit, and comfort needed for a righteous and fulfilling life.

Silent mind.

 A little girl once asked the sage,

“Master, tell me, if you will—

How does one silence the restless mind?

How does it learn to be still?”

Patanjali smiled like dawn unfolding,

Soft as moonlight on a hill.

He asked her, “Child, how do you stop

Your trembling hand’s small thrill?”

She shook her hand and then released it,

Letting quiet gently fill.

“By not shaking it,” she whispered—

Innocence revealing skill.

“Just so,” the ancient sage replied,

“The mind is shaken by your will.

You follow thoughts like scattered birds,

And wonder why they will not still.”

“Let thoughts arise, let thoughts subside—

Do not chase each passing drill.

The lake reflects the moon again

When waters cease to ripple and spill.”

“Silence is not something made,

Nor forged by effort, force, or skill.

It blooms when you stop stirring it—

A lotus on a windless rill.”

“So stay,” he said, “as the quiet seer,

Not the storm you try to kill.

Calmness is your native home—

Return, and let the heart refill.”

The girl bowed low before the sage,

Her eyes serene, her breath now still.

For she had learned the secret truth:

The mind is silent when you are still.

The Sage’s Answer to the Simplest and Deepest Question

There is a story often whispered in the yogic tradition—soft, luminous, and simple. It is about Maharishi Patanjali, the great compiler of the Yoga Sutras, and a little girl whose heart carried the same question that troubles even the greatest seekers:

“How does one silence the mind?”

She asked it with all the clarity that only a child can carry. No philosophy, no heavy theory—just a direct question from the center of innocence. Patanjali looked at her, and a smile slowly spread across his face, the kind of smile that holds both compassion and knowing.

Instead of answering, he asked her:

“Child, how do you stop your hand from trembling?”

The girl lifted her little hand, shook it playfully, and then stopped.

She looked up and said, almost surprised by her own simplicity:

“By not shaking it.”

Patanjali nodded. In her answer was the essence of yoga.

The Mind Shakes Because We Shake It

He told her, with a voice as calm as still water:

“Just as the hand trembles only when you move it,

the mind becomes restless only when you participate in its movements.”

Thoughts arise.

Desires pull.

Emotions swirl.

And we follow every one of them, as though each thought were a command, each fear a truth, each desire an instruction.

Patanjali explained:

“The mind is not noisy by nature.

It is noisy because you keep stirring it.”

He pointed to a pot of clear water beside him.

“See this water?

When it is shaken, the moon’s reflection breaks into a thousand pieces.

When it is still, the moon reveals itself effortlessly.”

The girl leaned over and saw the truth of his words for herself.

The moon was there—not something to be created, only something to be revealed.

Silence Is Not Created — It Is Allowed

Patanjali then uttered one of the gentlest teachings ever given:

“Silence is not something you manufacture.

It appears when you stop disturbing it.”

This is the heart of yoga.

The mind need not be conquered, suppressed, or fought.

It only needs to be left alone for a moment, allowed to settle like dust in a sunbeam.

He told her:

“Do not chase every thought.

Do not argue with every emotion.

Do not follow every desire.

Let them arise and let them pass.

You remain the seer.”

In the Yoga Sutras, this is expressed as:

“Drashtuh svarupe avasthanam

— The seer rests in its own nature.”

The little girl did not know Sanskrit, but she knew truth when she heard it. Her eyes widened with a soft understanding—the kind that does not come from the mind, but from the heart.

Stillness Is Our Nature

Patanjali concluded:

“Calmness is your true nature.

Noise is the movement you add.

Return to your nature.”

In those few lines lies the entire science of inner peace—the whole architecture of the yogic path. The girl bowed, touching her small hands to the earth, and went away with a lightness in her step, carrying a wisdom that even adults struggle to grasp.

For in that brief interaction, Patanjali had shown her—and us—something profound:

**The mind becomes silent not by force,

but by ceasing to disturb it.**

Silence is not a destination.

It is home.

Sacred space.

 In every traditional Indian home, the temple is the quiet flame around which life arranges itself. It is the place where we begin our mornings, return after every joy or sorrow, and remind ourselves of the divine presence that walks with us. To keep this sacred corner pure and radiant is not merely a ritual—it is a way of honouring the unseen grace that protects and nourishes the family. This article gathers the essential rules and gentle customs followed across generations to maintain a sanctified home temple.

Rules for a Home Temple: Creating a Sacred Space.

A home temple is more than a corner for worship—it is the quiet centre of a family’s spiritual life, a place where the mind naturally softens, thoughts become gentle, and the heart remembers what truly matters. Our ancients called it the gṛha-devatā-sthāna, the residence of grace within the home. The following essential guidelines help preserve the sanctity, purity, and divine ambience of this sacred space.

1. Choosing the Right Location

The scriptures speak of the north-east, the Īśānya direction, as the most auspicious for a home shrine. If this is not possible, the east or north-facing directions are equally harmonious.

The devotee ideally faces east or north while worshipping.

Avoid placing the temple beneath a staircase, against a bathroom wall, or directly on bedroom floors.

The space should be calm, clean, and naturally lit.

A temple placed with such care becomes a zone of positive vibration, offering quiet strength to everyone at home.

2. Keeping the Space Pure and Sattvic

Purity (śauca) is the foundation of worship.

Keep the area uncluttered and serene.

No footwear, no leather, and no distracting objects around the altar.

Wipe the space daily; cleanse it thoroughly once a week.

Avoid storing unrelated items like keys, medicines, or papers in the shrine.

A pure space invites a pure mind—this is the essence of the home temple.

3. Guidelines for Idols and Pictures

Idols are not mere art pieces; they are symbolic vessels through which devotion flows.

Ensure idols are whole and undamaged. Anything chipped, cracked, or broken should be respectfully immersed in water or placed beneath a sacred tree.

Do not overcrowd the altar. Keep only as many idols as you can lovingly attend to.

Idols should face east or west, never directly south.

Keep saumya (peaceful) forms of deities at home unless you are trained in the worship of Ugra or tantric forms.

Each idol should be placed at a respectful height—never below waist level.

4. Caring for the Deities

A simple, sincere daily routine is enough to nourish the divine presence.

Offer a lamp, a basin of fresh water, and a flower or tulasi.

Chant one small mantra or a few verses from the Gita, Vishnu Sahasranama, or any stotram dear to you.

Consecrated (prāṇa-pratiṣṭhita) idols require daily worship; if not feasible, choose unconsacrated (śilpa) idols which are easier to maintain.

What matters is not elaborate ritual but consistency and love.

5. Lamp and Fire Practices

Lighting the lamp is lighting the inner awareness.

Use ghee or sesame oil for purity and calmness.

Keep the lamp base clean and the wick pure.

Do not place lamps near curtains or enclosed shelves.

Never blow out the lamp—snuff it gently with a flower or fingers.

The lamp is the symbol of knowledge; treat it with reverence.

6. Offerings: Water, Flowers, and Naivedya

Keep only fresh water for the Lord; change it daily.

Remove wilted flowers the same day.

Naivedya should never be tasted or smelled before offering—it is the Lord’s portion first.

These simple rules cultivate humility and devotion.

7. Atmosphere of the Shrine

Let the temple be a place of quietness.

Chanting, bells, and prayers should be offered with a gentle, respectful tone.

Avoid loud conversations, arguments, or distractions around the shrine.

A peaceful home temple blesses the entire household with an unseen grace.

8. Personal Conduct During Worship

Bathe or at least wash hands and feet before entering the altar area.

Wear clean clothes.

Approach with a still mind and a grateful heart.

When the devotee is pure, the space naturally becomes divine.

9. Care of Sacred Texts

If scriptures are kept in the shrine:

Place them on a clean shelf or cloth; never directly on the floor.

Cover them with clean cloth when not used.

Treat them with the same reverence as the deities.

Sacred words too are sacred presence.

10. A Short Daily Worship Routine (5 Minutes)

Even the busiest day can offer this simple sequence:

1. Light the lamp.

2. Offer water.

3. Place a flower or tulasi.

4. Chant your chosen mantra (e.g., Om Namo Nārāyaṇāya, Om Namah Śivāya, Rama Rama, or Krishna Sharanam).

5. Sit silently for a minute, allowing the mind to soften.

Just five minutes of sincere presence can transform the vibration of the entire home.

11. What Not to Keep in the Shrine

Tradition clearly advises against:

Broken idols or torn pictures.

Mixing too many traditions in a small space (e.g., fierce forms with peaceful Vaishnava deities).

Keeping idols below waist level.

Placing ancestor photos with the deities—give ancestors their own separate shrine.

These guidelines preserve the dignity and sacredness of the worship area.

The Temple as a Living Presence

A home temple is not merely a structure of wood and brass—it is a living presence. The more gently we care for it, the more subtly it cares for us. In homes where a lamp is lit daily, where a soft prayer echoes every morning, where the space is kept pure, the atmosphere becomes naturally uplifting. Calmness grows, clarity strengthens, and every family member enjoys the quiet blessings that flow from such a sacred corner.

May your home temple continue to radiate peace, devotion, and divine grace to all who enter your home—and your heart.

“दीपो ज्योतिः परंब्रह्म दीपो ज्योतिर्जनार्दनः।

दीपो हरतु मे पापं दीपज्योतिर्नमोऽस्तु ते॥”

“The lamp is the light of the Supreme Brahman; the lamp is the light of Lord Janardana.

May this sacred light remove my inner impurities. Salutations to the divine flame.”

Virat p

King Pareekshit knows he has just a week to live, and he does not want to waste the time available to him. So he asks sage Suka how he should spend the little time left for him in the world. How should he meditate? And what should his focus be? Suka says dhyana can be on the sthula or sukshma forms of Godhead. Focusing on the sukshma form is difficult, explained Valayapet Ramachariar in a discourse. So the best way to begin dhyana is to concentrate on the Supreme form of Lord Krishna, that is on Vishnu as Virat Purusha. This is the form in which the entire Universe is held in His body. This is the Viswarupa form which Arjuna was privileged to see on the battlefield. Suka describes parts of the Lord’s body, and talks about how everything that we see as large is a mere part of His body. He begins by talking of the netherworld. Patala constitutes the bottom of the feet of Virat Purusha, rasaatala his heels, mahaatala His ankle, and talaatala His shanks. His knees are Sutala, the thighs are vitala and atala. His hips are maheetala. The sky is His navel.

 Svarga loka is His chest, mahar loka His neck. Satya loka is His head. Indra and the other devas are His arms, the ten directions His ears, the Ashvini kumaras are His ears, the rivers are His veins. Suka says dhyana should begin with concentrating on such a gigantic form of Vishnu. When everything in the Universe is found as a mere part in His body, one gets an idea of His all encompassing nature. The fact that He is the Supreme Brahman gets reinforced in our minds. He is the antaryami of the entire world. In other words, He is the soul, and the Universe the body. Dhyana of course requires control of the senses, for without control of the indriyas, the mind will lose its ability to do dhyana with unwavering attention.

Timeless.

 “When the heart stays true and the effort unwavering, the world around you begins to shift in quiet harmony—

paths open, moments align, and unseen hands gently lift you toward the destiny your spirit has chosen.”

When you wish good things for others good comes back to you multifold.

Kattumannar Koil Nāthanār Utsavam – A Festival of Grace, Memory, and Divine Kinship

Kattumannar Koil, known traditionally as Veeranarayanapuram, is a sacred site where devotion is not merely practiced—it is inherited. Here, the majestic Nātha Nārāyaṇa Perumal reigns as the compassionate guardian of the land, and it is here that the luminous lineage of Nathamuni, Yamunacharya, and the early Acharyas blossomed. Every year, the Utsavam of the Lord turns this historic temple into a living stream of tradition, music, and profound spiritual remembrance.

The Temple and Its Timelessness

Kattumannar Koil holds a unique place in the Vaishnava world. This is the land where:

Sri Nathamuni revived the Nalayira Divya Prabandham through sheer tapas and devotion.

The sacred tunes of the Divya Prabandham were once again brought into the living stream of worship

The bond between the Lord and His devotees is felt not just in rituals, but in the very air that flows through the mandapams.

Each utsavam here carries echoes of this heritage. It is not just a festival—it is a reminder of how the Lord Himself guides the preservation of knowledge and devotion.

The Utsavam: A Journey of Grace

1. Dwajarohanam – The Invitation to the Divine

The utsavam begins with the hoisting of the Garuda flag, symbolizing that the doors of heaven and earth are now connected. Devotees believe that when the flag is raised, Perumal’s glance extends outward, blessing every corner of the region.

2. Daily Processions – The Lord Among His People

For the following days, Perumal emerges in various vahanams, each revealing a different facet of His glory:

Garuda Sevai – the most anticipated day, when the Lord seated on Garuda seems almost eager to meet His devotees.

Hanumantha Vahanam – signifying steadfast courage.

Yanai and Kudhirai Vahanam – symbols of royal majesty.

Sesha Vahanam – echoing Vaikuntha itself.

Pushpa Pallakku – where Perumal appears like a fresh monsoon cloud resting on a bed of flowers.

The streets of Kattumannar Koil transform into a river of chanting, especially “Namo Nārāyaṇāya” and verses from the Divya Prabandham, the very hymns Nathamuni restored.

The Presence of the Acharyas

A distinct and soul-lifting feature of this utsavam is the remembrance of Sri Nathamuni, Yamunacharya (Ālavandār), and the early Acharyas whose lives were intertwined with this sacred town.

On certain days, Perumal graciously visits the Avatara Sthalam of Nathamuni. The feeling is profoundly intimate—almost like a father visiting the home of His beloved son.

This symbolic meeting reminds devotees:

That knowledge is never separate from grace.

That the guru is the bridge to the divine.

That devotion, once sung, never disappears—it waits patiently to be rediscovered, as Nathamuni rediscovered the Prabandham.

Dolotsavam – The Swing of Compassion

One of the most delicate ceremonies is the Dolotsavam, where Perumal gently sways on an ornately decorated swing. The soft movement symbolizes the rhythm of divine compassion—constant, gentle, and deeply reassuring.

Many devotees offer personal prayers during this time, for it is believed that as the Lord sways, He smoothens the troubles of the sincere heart.

The Grand Finale: Teerthavāri

The utsavam concludes with the Teerthavāri at the temple tank. Perumal, accompanied by the Acharyas’ utsava murtis, blesses the waters before returning to the sanctum. The act symbolizes:

The purification of the environment

Renewal of community bonds

And the cleansing of the devotee’s inner world

As the Lord re-enters the garbhagriha, the town feels a beautiful silence—an afterglow of divine presence.

The Essence of the Utsavam

The Kattumannar Koil Natha Nārāyaṇa Utsavam is not merely a celebration—it is a living reminder that devotion is a continuum.

It teaches:

That tradition is preserved not by memory alone but by love.

That the Lord moves among His devotees just as freely today as He did centuries ago.

That every sincere chant—whether sung by Nathamuni, by a temple priest, or by a solitary devotee at home—becomes part of the same sacred stream.

This utsavam is, in many ways, a yearly renewal of a divine promise:

“Where My devotees gather, remembering My name, I shall be there—fully, tenderly, eternally.”

Tailo dhara.

Sanātana Dharma and Paramparā: The Eternal Flow of Wisdom

Sanātana Dharma—often rendered as the “Eternal Way”—is not merely a religion or a set of commandments. It is a living, breathing stream of wisdom that has flowed across millennia, nourished by countless sages, seers, teachers, and householders who lived its ideals. At the heart of this unbroken continuity lies Paramparā, the sacred lineage of knowledge transmission that keeps the eternal truths alive from one generation to the next.

The relationship between Sanātana Dharma and Paramparā is inseparable. If Sanātana Dharma is the vast, timeless ocean, Paramparā is the river that brings its waters to us—pure, life-giving, and constantly renewing.

Sanātana Dharma: That Which Never Fades

The term Sanātana means eternal, ageless, and perpetual. Dharma means the underlying law, the cosmic order that sustains life—ethics, duty, truth, harmony, and the principles that guide right living.

The Mahābhārata beautifully describes this living dharma:

“Dhāraṇāt dharma ityāhuḥ”

—“That which upholds all existence is called Dharma.”

Sanātana Dharma is not a doctrine that began at a particular time or place. It is the recognition of principles that have always existed—truth, compassion, austerity, selflessness, purity of heart, and the pursuit of the Ultimate Reality.

The Rig Veda reminds us of its vastness:

“Ekam sat viprā bahudhā vadanti”

—“Truth is one; the wise express it in many ways.” (Rig Veda 1.164.46)

This foundational understanding allows Sanātana Dharma to embrace diversity while upholding unity. It invites inquiry, debate, contemplation, and personal transformation. It does not demand belief—it encourages realization.

Paramparā: The Golden Chain of Transmission

The profound principles of Sanātana Dharma were never meant to remain abstract. They were meant to be lived. And to be lived, they had to be transmitted correctly—from master to disciple, from parents to children, from community to community. This sacred flow is Paramparā.

The Bhagavad Gītā declares the timelessness of this transmission:

“Evaṁ paramparā-prāptam imaṁ rājarṣayo viduḥ”

—“This wisdom was received through the lineage of teachers, and the royal sages understood it so.” (Gītā 4.2)

Paramparā is not simply teaching; it is the careful passing of inner experience, dharma, and values in a manner that transforms the listener. It embodies:

Guru–Śiṣya tradition

Veda adhyayana and chanting lineages

Family traditions of worship and conduct

Regional and cultural practices woven around dharma

Commentarial traditions and philosophical schools

Each lineage is a lamp lit from another lamp, ensuring that the flame never dies.

Why Paramparā Matters

The ancient seers recognized that truth, though infinite, requires guidance to be realized. Books can inform, but a living teacher transforms.

The Chāndogya Upanishad emphasizes the vital need for a teacher:

“Ācāryavān puruṣo veda”

—“Only one who has a teacher truly knows.” (Chāndogya Upanishad 6.14.2)

A genuine lineage preserves:

Authentic interpretation of scriptures

Precision of Vedic chanting

Purity of rituals

Ethical conduct

Spiritual discipline

The spirit rather than merely the words

Paramparā also prevents distortion. It ensures the wisdom remains alive, not fossilized.

The Living Flow of Dharma through Generations

Sanātana Dharma has survived not just centuries but aeons because it adapts without losing its core. This is possible only because Paramparā is flexible enough to interpret Dharma according to time, place, and circumstance (Deśa–Kāla–Pātra).

The Manusmṛti acknowledges this adaptive nature:

“Dharmo hi teṣām adhyātmaṁ yaḥ pūrvaiḥ sanātanaḥ kṛtaḥ”

—“The Dharma followed by the ancients is indeed the eternal Dharma.” (Manusmṛti 2.6)

The wisdom is ancient, but its expression is dynamic.

Thus, the same Veda that was taught in forest hermitages thousands of years ago continues to shape modern households today—in the form of values, rituals, prayers, and ethical choices.

The Role of the Individual: Becoming a Link in the Chain

Every seeker becomes both a receiver and a giver. The Gītā reminds us:

“Saṁskārān amṛtatvaṁ āpnuyāt”

—“Through noble impressions one attains immortality.”

The impressions we absorb from tradition, and the impressions we pass on, shape the future of Sanātana Dharma.

You do not need to be a scholar or a priest to contribute. Living a life of sincerity, truth, and compassion itself becomes a continuation of Paramparā. Teaching children to chant a simple prayer, lighting a lamp with devotion, writing and sharing insights are all profound acts of preservation.

Sanātana Dharma and Paramparā in Our Times

In an era where life moves quickly and distractions are many, Paramparā becomes more precious than ever. It reminds us that:

We belong to something timeless

Wisdom is richer when shared

Knowledge becomes sacred when lived

The past is not a burden but a guide

Our actions are part of a larger cosmic harmony

Sanātana Dharma does not ask us to reject the modern world. It asks us to live with depth, awareness, and reverence while being part of it.

The Eternal River Never Stops Flowing

Sanātana Dharma is not a relic frozen in history. It is the pulse of existence itself—eternal, inexhaustible. Paramparā is its lifeline, carrying its spirit across ages, shaping civilizations, and touching countless hearts.

As long as even one person reflects, practices, and shares this wisdom with sincerity, the river of Dharma continues to flow.

Or as the Vedas say:

“Satyam eva jayate”

—“Truth alone triumphs.”

When truth is shared, lived, and passed on, it becomes timeless.

That is the beauty of Sanātana Dharma and the blessing of Paramparā.
