“Culture Is The Essence Of A Soul And Words Fall Short To Describe What Culture Is”

A diverse country like India is the umbrella of sundry cultures, where billions of people live in unity. Restricting the definition of culture to the behavioral or ritual patterns of a community serves no justice to it. Various philosophers came and studied culture, yet no one could exactly describe it in words. 

Culture is the blood of a closed society, expressing their belonging via food, stories, dances, clothes, arts, and much more. Fanning our sense of expression, and respecting culture are also important for social and cultural aspects. Bonding together, and respecting diversity is the kind of behavior we all need to incorporate into our lives. Like how skin cannot be separated from a body, cultural beliefs can also not be isolated from a human mind. 

One of the various goals of YHO is to bring the world together, for this we need people to rekindle their relationships with their cultures. Several cultures are enriched with different values that teach an individual selfless love, unity, responsibility, and leadership. Expansion and acceptance of one another will widen the whole perspective of an individual.   

Why Culture?

Culture is important because it shapes our sense of identity, provides a framework for communication and understanding, preserves our heritage, and fosters social cohesion and harmony, making it crucial for personal and collective growth, intercultural relationships, and the preservation of diverse perspectives and traditions.Some benefits can be categorized into two aspects: personal and communal. Not only the community, but the individual is also personally affected. 

Personal Blossoming 

People close to their culture deems to develop better interpersonal relationships, intellect, and emotional intelligence. It teaches us to be respectful and understand the real meaning of happiness. While creating a sense of belonging, the person staying far away from the community can live the abstract closeness through practices.  

Moreover, cultural heritage creates a path for educational opportunities, especially history. While a culture promotes togetherness, an individual is less likely to feel lonely. This grooms the innate personality and representation of one’s individuality. 

Social Gifts

One of the reasons for society to be sticking together is culture and its heritage. Emphasizing the unity of the population, social solidarity is created due to the great influence of festivals, monuments, clothes, jewelry, books, and food. For example, the diversity of cultures in India does not impact the bond among people. The culture here is the prime example of coexistence, appreciation, and emotional maturity. 

Economical Advantages

Culture makes an important influence on the economy in various ways such as inclusion and tourism. The beauty of a unique civilization mesmerizes the soul of visitors, influencing others to feel the incredibility of a civilization like India. The curiosity is quenched with the satisfaction of the outlandish beauty of the country that majorly lies in its culture. 

International Relationships 

With the acceptance of numerous diversified cultures, we can strengthen our political status at the International level. The significance of culture in International relations has been exhaustively recognized, where the difference from one another is acknowledged and welcomed. Introducing each other to other unique styles of expression creates a strong bond of friendship.

Contribution of YHO

With the accelerated growth of the world, we must stay in touch with our roots. People who cut their roots off eventually fall to the ground unable to even walk again. To diminish the possibility of such a cruel ending, YHO takes a firm stand and works to bring awareness in the cultural sector of society in multiple manners, like:  

• Promoting All-round Teachings: Outside classroom teachings lays down a certain way of idealistic living in a community together. By learning things apart from academic texts, an individual can see through the real meaning of society and comprehend how crucial customs and traditions are!  

• Adopting The Holistic Approach To Life: A simple yet correct approach towards life can help to bring the best out of people. Adopting a holistic approach to life is instrumental in promoting and preserving culture. Embracing a holistic mindset involves recognizing the interconnectedness of various aspects of life, including cultural values, traditions, and practices. By valuing and actively engaging with our cultural heritage, we can ensure its continuity and promote its significance.

• Encouraging the rise of Ayurveda: Ayurveda practices are an integral part of Indian civilization. The history of India shows how advanced the living standards and medical facilities were in India. Even the spices, type of food, and behavioral patterns are the imprints of our ancestors who had the practices of Ayurveda alive and strong. We wish to widen the benefits of Ayurveda globally which supports the body and works to empower the immune system.

• Revisiting the Rich Heritage Of India And Other Countries: With the diversity of cultures, the monuments and historical sites are the perfect motivation to embrace the beauty of each other’s culture. We want the whole world to realize how the richness of the heritage of each other’s country can help others to experience unknown feelings.
• Rejuvenating Traditional Cultural Values: Each culture holds significant values, thus renewing the long-forgotten traditional values is the duty of YHO. Respecting the positive approach from each other’s traditional cultural values helps build close relationships and strengthen the bond of brotherhood.

• Promoting Research and providing information on Indian Culture: With the wrong depiction and forgotten culture, it is necessary to bring the world close to reality. Thus highly intensive research is the need of today to bring light to the truth. 

• Empowering Youth To Embrace Culture:  We know how strong the influence of youth can be. The leading generation must be close to their roots before their culture vanishes in thin air. It is important to realize that cultures may evolve, but the intention and the love always stay. 

Culture holds significant importance as it influences and molds our individual and collective sense of identity, while also serving as a foundation for effective communication and mutual understanding. It plays a pivotal role in safeguarding our heritage, ensuring that valuable traditions, knowledge, and customs are passed down through generations. Additionally, culture fosters social cohesion and harmony within communities and societies by promoting inclusivity and respect for diverse perspectives and traditions. By embracing culture, we embark on a journey of personal growth and enriching intercultural relationships, allowing us to celebrate our unique identities while appreciating the richness and beauty of the diverse world we inhabit.
