Introduction
To understand
our culture, (samskara, Dharma etc.) it is important to understand the concept of
parampara.
What can we learn from parampara? How a
disconnect in parampara can be disastrous for a civilization?
Parampara is one reason why people in India like to
remember a series of past generations of an individual.
In many families the whole series of ancestry was and to
some extent even today given great importance.
Rameshwar comes from the family of Satishwar who was a
saint and was son of a great saint Parmeshwar.
Rameshwar has to have an element of saintliness because
Satishwar was a saint and his forefathers were all saintly people.
It is as if a flow, a continuum of Parmesh- wara is flowing
through Satishwara and Rameshwar.
