Prolonging the tradition of Bharatiyata, Bharatiya Manyaprad is an effort to initiate an incessant renaissance in the heritage of knowledge, wisdom, and culture that great Indian master spirits. The incipient perception must be carried forward with the belief that 'Bharat' is not just a nation but an ongoing civilization, not an accident of history but a design of destiny. The vitality of Indian culture and its self-renewing greatness has always constituted a living principle. Bharatiya Manyaprad is a mirror image of this belief. Started by Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan’s Ahmedabad Kendra, the journal invites Bharatiya wisdom across the borders.
