Padma Purana also reverberates the same concept.(1.19.335). Our primary efforts are to bring to light and present the unbiased dharmika perspectives on social, economic, political and cultural aspects presented in [[Shruti (श्रुतिः)|Shrutis]], [[Smrti (स्मृतिः)|Smrtis]], Puranas and Shastra granthas.

[[Bharatiya Samskrtika Parampara (भारतीयसांस्कृतिकपरम्परा)|Bharatiya Samskrtika Parampara]] stands unrivalled in the depth and splendour of its philosophy, while it yields to none in the purity of its ethical teachings and in the flexibility and varied adaptation of its rites and ceremonies. It is inclusive enough to unite the most divergent forms of Hindu thought, but exclusive enough to leave outside it, forms of thought which divides humanity.

Our vision is to compile, discuss, promote, assimilate and disperse the dharmika knowledge seen in all aspects of the Universe and Life, bringing together a scholar and novice to interact on a universal forum. We actively advocate a holistic approach towards life expounded in our traditional treatises for the betterment of the generations to come by revitalization of Purushartha Drshti and by letting go of the Svartha Drshti.

Revision as of 19:57, 31 December 2018

DharmaWiki lays the foundation in creating a universal forum and spearheading a campaign for bringing to light the numerous perspectives of Sanatana Dharma expounded in the Vedic traditions.

The core idea is to take the reader closer to the the original sources - the Vedas and the Vaidika Vangmaya (Vedangas- Kalpas and Nirukta, Darshanas, Itihasas, Puranas, etc.) thereby sensitizing him/her about the various dharmika perspectives that lead to self fulfillment and a holistic existence.  

Dharmawiki Core Ideas
Motto : श्रूयतां धर्मसर्वस्वम् ॥ Listen to the Essence of Dharma
Aim : लोकसङ्ग्रहम् ॥ A Common Ground
Vision : धर्मसारम् इदं जगत् ॥ Universe is The Essence of Dharma
