TED’s mission is to nurture the spread of powerful ideas. TED TED TALKS have proved that, a talk can electrify and transform an audience’s view.

Vande Guru Parampara

  Vande Guru Parampara Guru Purnima – Honouring Our Gurus, Upholding the Tradition इमं विवस्वते योगं प्रोत्कवानहमव्ययम् । विवस्वान् मनवे प्राह मनुरिक्ष्वाकवेऽब्रवीत । । (४-१) In the Bhagavad Gita, while advising Arjuna, Lord Krishna gives an example of the tradition of knowledge.

They built luxurious buildings like the Chief Commissioner’s bungalow, a bakery, a church, a tennis court, and more, earning it the title “Paris of the East.” But nature has reclaimed its place.
