About Guru Parampara

Combination of these Sanskrit words, ‘Guru Parampara’ is a traditional ritual where an organization has its leading body as a ‘Guru’ or leader.

The leading authority or ‘Guru’ guides all the disciples to act fittingly and keeps them on right track. Mental and physical empowerment of the followers, in order to uplift their character and thereby upbringing the best-of-them is the main goal of any guru.

Adopting this practice from the oldest existing Dharma i.e. Hinduism or Vedic culture, we believe that everyone needs one life guide or ‘Guru’ to teach him/her the real purpose of life.
