INTRODUCTION

Parampara Pratishthanam’ is all about preserving, promoting & propagating Indian culture and Human Values. In the present day situation, we have been witnessing a slow and gradual deterioration in the Human Values, in our younger generation which is breaking away from the good old family order which had the ingredients of family bond, love towards all, and respect to the elders. The onset of Globalization & commercialisation has vanquished our Indian culture and human valaues, which is worrying most of the parents. Vulgarity & Violence on the Internt, CDs, Films, and even in some of the television channels, have been instrumental in distracting our young minds. There is degradation in the value system.
The Mantras like Matradevo Bhava, Pitr devo bhava, Aacharyadevo bhava & Athithidevo bhava, have started losing their relevance in this part of the world. Melody in Music is vanishing. Heritage is extinguishing. There is deterioration in everything in the name of fast development under cutthroat competition at all levels. Because of all these, there is danger to global peace. We some of the like minded people have made a small beginning by forming Parampara Pratishthanam.
We are indeed the luckiest of the human beings to be born as Indians, on the soil which has witnessed the birth of great King Lord Rama, great Seer Vedavyasa, great poet Kaalidas, great warrior Shivaji Maharaj, great philosopher Vivekananda and great patriots and National leaders Like Netaji, Gandiji, Tilak, Gokhale, and many others, who served selflessly for the people of our nation, and made a mark in the history as Leaders to be followed. There is a sanskrit Shloka, which says, ‘ to be born in India even for a moment is worth living’.
What we solicit from all the concerned people is their physical and financial support to this movement.
