THE SPIRIT OF VIJNANA KALA VEDI
 
From cities to villages, the "the world culture" is slowly erasing our relationship with nature and with ourselves. However, thanks to the acceleration of our lives and the tense competition for power or money, we are looking, with even more intensity, for peace and happiness.
 
Much can be achieved in keeping up the purity and sanctity of India's traditional culture which aims at raising human beings to a higher level of thoughts and feelings.
 
Moreover, there is no incompatibility between the traditional world and the modern, highly technical world of the twenty first century: Both can stimulate each other, nourish people's creativity and contribute to world progress.
 
As Dr. Kapila M. Vatsyayan writes ( in "some aspects of cultural policies in India" -UNESCO 1972);
 
"A sizable minority do keep appearing and raise to hope that from among these will be found people who will have the capacity to communicate with the past and to keep pace with the future, to hold the "still Centre" of the inner life while continually adapting and rennovating outer forms and, above all, who will provide a vital dynamism to soceity while retaining a faith in human values".
 

The Vijnana kala Vedi actively enquires into the roots of culture and opened to new perspectives towards the harmonious balance between tradition and modern life.
