Tattva

Tattva is an international online monthly magazine, published by Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh’s Hindu YUVA. Tattva, which means “essence” in Sanskrit, draws inspiration from the roots of Hindu Dharma. It aims to present inspiring aspects of ancient Hindu culture and history along with related current day issues. It is an avenue to gain a better understanding and appreciate the most ancient culture thriving on this planet. It also offers us an opportunity to share our ideas and inspire others.

Need for Tattva today:

The Hindu civilization is the only ancient civilization thriving on this planet. It has a unbroken history of several thousands of years. Today, one in every six people in the world is a Hindu. In spite of its huge following, rich history, and innumerous contributions to the human race, Hindu Dharma is perhaps the least understood among the major religions today. The Hindu thought is a knowledge base which has been collected since the ancient Vedic period. This knowledge is timeless and applicable to the entire humanity.  Its integral approach provides a beacon of hope in today’s challenging and dynamic world situation. We as Hindu youth and potential leaders of the future generation are the guardians of this ancient treasure of timeless knowledge. It has been aptly said, “With great power comes great responsibility.”  It is our responsibility to understand the depths of this knowledge, increase awareness among others about it, and take a stand on the current day issues. Tattva aims to do precisely that.
