The noble thoughts and the ideal lives of great personalities, saintly and eminent thinkers is the greatest source of inspiration for the aspirant.  But today, we hardly find such great personalities who could induce the desired impetus in positive direction for the enlightened development of our personalities.

Moreover, it is not always possible for everyone to be in their live contact. Reading and pondering over their thoughts is also not feasible for most people. What could then be an additional and widely effective mode of personality-refinement and improvement at the individual and social levels? The regular practice of “upasana” appears to be a promising medium for this purpose, as it could be practised by everyone, everywhere, as per his or her natural tendencies and circumstances.
