Research on Traditional Wisdom Programme

In early stages of human evolution and habitation, small ‘groups’ started living at favourable ‘habitats’. These groups, in the process of building great civilizations, developed their own traditions and value systems. Most of these traditions were suitable only to their local conditions, circumstances and challenges, and this knowledge remained primarily with a small group of people. One thing common in all these traditions was ‘betterment of self and society’.

As we make the transition towards ‘global village’ or a global society, it’s of paramount importance to study these traditions and derive benefit out of this traditional ‘wisdom’ for betterment of global society. Wisdom is the judicious application of knowledge. ‘Wisdom’ is the ability to make correct judgments and decisions. It is an intangible quality gained presumably through experience. Wisdom is timeless. Traditional wisdom is therefore also extremely useful for modern society and is always contemporary.

Only Humans are capable of changing the world……for good or bad. The answer to today’s challenges lie in restoring balance of five – elements namely water, aire, fire, earth, and space and falling back on our traditional wisdom to re-discover the science of five – elements. Only such knowledge will be complete, helping individuals to act strategically towards sustainability. Traditional wisdom has extremely rich contents for overall growth of humans living in balance with its universe. It has the potential to practically transform our lives and eliminate the challenges and threats we face today, due to imbalances created by us due to our ignorance and disrespect towards laws of nature.

It is with this intent that Aqua Foundation has taken an initiative in this direction as well to do intense study and research on traditional wisdom and five – elements for the betterment of the society and give mankind a better way of life and existence.
