India, this divine land of sages and seers, in the past, illuminated the entire world with its divine culture like a beacon of light. Evidence of this is still available in many countries of the world. Until the propagation of Mahatma Buddha's Dharmachakra, this cultural light shone far and wide, but in due course, due to foreign subjugation, this divine culture of ours began to decline.
India received the honor of being the world guru only by adopting cultural principles in national life. Rishi souls and divine beings, after tireless efforts, established eternal values in the nation, these values are still the invaluable heritage of Indian culture, which refine the inner self and awaken the dormant infinite possibilities to reach the vastness.
The civilization of any country is mostly based on the inherent cultural, moral and spiritual values. It nurtures the overall lifestyle and shapes the culture. According to the Oxford Dictionary, the culture of a country reflects the way of life, customs, beliefs, attitudes and social system of the people. It also includes various arts, literature, music etc. India has the distinction of being the most developed culture in the world. Great men of all countries have praised its antiquity and grandeur. In this culture, mankind is considered an integral part of the entire creation. Balanced development free from exploitation of every unit of nature, whether it is innate, living or non-living, is the basic characteristic of this divine culture.
Due to its scientific and spiritual basis, philosophical background and unique importance, Indian culture attracts the intellectual masses the most in this materialistic world. But our diminishing faith in God, declining moral, social and cultural values, inhuman behavior, increasing selfishness, decline of intellect, etc. are causing great damage to this glorious culture. All-round efforts are needed to save it from the attack of these evils. The Indian Culture Knowledge Examination under the Yuga Nirman Yojana run by Yugrishi is a meaningful and revolutionary step in this direction. Acharya ji's definite opinion was that personality development is essential in this age of materialism.
His Holiness Gurudev Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya considered a meaningful coordination of education and knowledge essential to give the right direction to the new generation and launched a campaign to bring it to the practical level. The thought revolution campaign launched for the expansion of human values is actually a campaign for the expansion of education and knowledge of Indian culture.
Our students, who are the future of the coming generation, it is our aim to take them out of the clutches of the demonic western culture and bring them on the royal path of divine culture and inspire them to move forward. The Indian Culture Knowledge Examination is the basis of this. If through this examination, schools running in villages and cities, students and teachers can be connected with cultural principles, then it will not take long for the foundation of the era change to be formed and it to be realized.
'Teachers are the makers of the era, students are the fate makers of the nation' With this slogan, if the teachers take charge, then the India of the twenty-first century will regain its lost glory and dignity and will move towards a new India, a better India. All World Gayatri Pariwar is giving them new thinking through Indian Culture Knowledge Examination for moral, social, cultural and spiritual development in students. Culture Mandals are also being formed in schools to bring excellence in the lives of students through the examination.
It is hoped that through this examination, the roughness will change into refinement and awareness towards their culture will also be created among the students. With the re-establishment of cultural values in the individual, family and society, the nation will be strong and proud. The spirit of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam will be realized in life and the Yuga Nirman Yojana will be successful. The purpose of the emergence of divinity in man and the descent of heaven on earth will also be realized.
