================

Dear Sir,Pranams.As this is my first message, please allow me to introduce

myself. I am a retired government official in India. Even while in service I

was engaged in research and publication. I am

a senior Editor and publisher by profession. My mission in life is to be

instrumental in spreading knowledge on the Vedic spiritual and cultural

heritage. The system of Yoga is an essential part of this heritage. I am

convinced that the entire humanity needs them and has a right to have them.

With the emphasis on universal oneness and harmony, this knowledge of Vedic

literature can immensely help the mankind live peacefully and prosperously.

mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">We have a moral obligation to share

what we have inherited with others who are in need of it. I am actively engaged

in projects of teaching and publishing connected with Vedic literature,

including allied works. I am involved in the subjects of Vedic Astrology and

Yoga also. Naturally I am interested in knowing about the work of other

scholars and devotees and make a common cause wherever it means mutual benefit.

 

mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">My projects are not carried on with

'business' motive but I design them to be self- sustaining. I am not a very

rich man to carry them on entirely as a charitable proposition. They are all

no-loss-no-profit endeavors combined with 'service overtone'.I am aware of

various schools of thought competing with one another; but my view is that all

of them can co-exist and help mankind to achieve material and spiritual

welfare, if they do not miss to notice the presence of the one and only common

bond called differently by different groups.The following is a brief note on my

new international English monthly magazine, called Nitya Kalyan. ooOOoo

Nitya KalyanWe have a duty to mankind to share what we have inherited in the

form of rich Vedic and allied literature with all the people in the world. This

is best done by explaining them in English.

'Times New Roman'">A new international English monthly magazine Nitya Kalyan is

to be published from Chennai. This magazine is committed to the spread of

knowledge of Indian cultural heritage and ancient wisdom. It is a matter of

urgent necessity that the ideas of universal oneness and harmony enshrined in

the Vedas and allied literature are explained in English, to ensure the peace

and prosperity of the mankind threatened by several negative forces of the

modern world. Nitya Kalyan is committed to accomplish this.This is a

no-profit-no-loss effort. The first issue of Nitya Kalyan will appear in the

second week of September 2004.Nitya Kalyan, the international English monthly

magazine is dedicated to integrate our happy day-to-day life with well-defined

purusharthas viz., dharma, artha, kama and moksha, enshrined in our scriptures.

Nitya Kalyan stands for eternal happiness and also the means leading to it.

New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">Eternal happiness is not

an idle dream that becomes real accidentally to a select few. Vedic philosophy

does not believe in any such silly imagination. The foundation for the Vedic

philosophy is the concept of dharma that is, natural and value-based

_expression of self. A serious student of the Vedic philosophy can never miss

how result-oriented the Vedic philosophy is. The Vedas belong to everybody,

irrespective of caste, creed or color. They are the inheritance of all the

living beings. The Vedic concepts may be studied and appreciated by us through

the various sastras, puranas, ithihasas and countless other forms of

literature, including Yoga Sutra.

Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times

New Roman'">The study and practice of these values are possible to one and all.

Even a villager without much formal education can understand and adopt them. Our

ancient systems ensured such percolation of knowledge among all the categories

of the people. With the weakening of our ancient systems and adoption of

western ways of life, this flow of knowledge has been adversely affected. As a

result, the value-based life of our people is changing to mere mammon worship.

Our ancient system does not neglect any aspect of life, including wealth and

other normal pleasures of life. But they were strictly subordinated to the

dharma,

so that the individual would not degenerate and become a knave; so that, his

kalyan would not be short-lived but would be eternal. FormatPeriodicity:
