Dedicated to the future generations, Dharmawiki invites one and all to come together for building narratives based on Sanatana Dharma from the perspective of dharma.  We shall together bring back the sashastriya samalochana paddati (shashtra based thinking process) to replace the rational instead of the existing polarized thinking. Our tradition is our adhikara and it is our duty to build our narratives ourselves. We are content creators no longer content consumers.

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.

We strive to lay a strong foundation of ethics, codes of conduct, and common laws on which the reader may contemplate and build his/her character with more specialized principles suited to his/her intellectual and emotional temperament. It is directed to the building up of a character - pious, dutiful, strong, self reliant, upright, righteous, gentle and well-balanced - a character which will be that of a good man and a good citizen leading a [[Dharmika Jivana Vidhana (धार्मिकजीवनविधानम्)|Dharmika Jivana Vidhana]].<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/sanatanadharmaad00benarich#page/i/mode/1up Sanatana Dharma]</ref>

[[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. We aim to bring to light unbiased dharmika perspectives on social, economic, political, and cultural aspects presented in Shrutis, Smrtis, Puranas and Shastra granthas. <ref>[https://archive.org/stream/sanatanadharmaad00benarich#page/i/mode/1up Sanatana Dharma]</ref>

Styled in the lines of Wikipedia, Dharmawiki is a dynamic platform, a repository for Dharmik concepts and guidelines, racing ahead to formulate an action plan for a holistic lifestyle.  
+
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.
