The Foundational Emblems of Indian Culture: Shikha and Sutra (Translation of a discourse of Revered Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya)

Origin of Religion and Culture:

If we are to revive the glory of religion, we will have to look into its origin.

The varieties of communes and sects, mushroomed in the field of religion since the post Vedic Age, need to be converged towards their fundamental unity.

Recalling the emblems (and the associated knowledge) of this origin could be one effective way of achieving this goal. I have always believed in that.

Our national flag is the symbol of our national unity, strength and prestige; we all, irrespective of whether we are Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians or someone else by faith, respect it. See how a symbol unites us!
