If we analyse the Indian customs and rituals in the true spirit of science, logic and rational thinking we can understand
that the ultimate aims of all these rituals are not the heaven after death but to create heaven in this world /life itself.
Hence 1. psychological, 2. physiological, 3. family relation based, 4.social bondage based, 5. national integration based
befits are the utlimate aims of these rituals.
Indian Institute of Scientific Heritage, for the last TEN years of its mission oriented work has found that these customs
and rituals can be suitably utilised for building the above five ultimate goals in life. Hence we request all of you to create
small groups all over the world under your coordinatorship. Once in a week / biweek perform some relevant poojas ,
which should act as the pathways to bring people together and exchange good and useful messages of their life on our
heritage. Never slips down to superstitions / irrational behaviour / life style /blind beliefs while doing the pooja . These
customs are to be utilised as scientific spirituality for sharing, caring and curing. Coming together should never be for
criticising, denigrating, making fun of others or for political discussions or for 'drinking'. It should be for building relations
based on strong Indian spiritulaity and for building positives in our life. Tell stories/ give messages /set examples /
analyse heritage knowledge/ impart values for youngsters beyond, the religious and political background of every
individual.

by any one.ALWAYS GIVE THE SCIENTIFIC AND USEFUL MESSAGES DURING THE POOJAS, THE MESSAGES
