Higher purpose

In the time of rapid technological advancements and changing lifestyles, the question of whether ancient scriptures still hold relevance confronts us again. Teachings of Vedic shastras remain timeless because they address fundamental realities and challenges of human existence. Truths that transcend time, culture and circumstance. Shastras focus not on temporary social conditions, but on universal aspects of life that remain unchanged across generations.

Shastras address certain fundamental aspects of reality which have not changed. For instance, in Gita, Krishn shares a list of qualities and says, these constitute knowledge, wisdom and enlightenment.' He mentions states such as 'janm-mtyu-jara-vyadhi-dukh-doanudarsanam' and explains that there are four inescapable realities of life for everyone: birth, disease, old age and finally, death."

While modern life has transformed dramatically, these existential experiences continue to define the human condition and encourage us towards a higher purpose.


This is why Gita and the wider body of Vedic literature continue to serve as guiding texts. Rather than acknowledging momentary trends, they engage with questions of life, making them as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago and quenching our thirst with well-explained proofs.
