Introduction
The ‘Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar Study Center’ was established on April 9, 2024, in Delhi, on the auspicious occasion of Varsh Pratipada. The primary objective of this center is based on the principle “Satyen Apadyate Amritam,” which means “Immortality through Truth.” This center aims to highlight the significant figures, particularly Indian women and events of national importance, who have either been overlooked or misrepresented in history.
We conduct in-depth research based on authentic primary sources and present it impartially through various media such as print, art, drama, cinema, and digital media. Our center provides a platform for energetic, talented, and dedicated researchers committed to raising awareness about the contributions of these figures and bringing them into the nation’s mainstream.
Our inspiration: Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar
The exemplary life and personality of Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar have been our inspiration from the very beginning. Born into a modest family, Ahilyabai became the ruler of the Holkar dynasty under extraordinary circumstances. After the untimely death of her husband and son at a young age, she took charge of the state and added new chapters of peace and prosperity to the history of the Malwa region for thirty years. The temples she built and restored are known to almost every Indian. Her contribution to the revival of Sanatan Dharma is unparalleled. In honor of all her virtues and achievements, this center has been named after Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar. The center is engaged in various dimensions related to her life.
The dedicated leadership and contribution of Dr. Anuradha Gupta, the head of the center, and Dr. Satyam Dwivedi, the co-head, are commendable. Their hard work has ensured the timely completion of this project. Special thanks also go to the founder and visionary, Mr. Pankaj, whose vision and determination brought this center to life.
Our Vision
A commitment to raising awareness about the contributions of personalities and events of national importance, who have been forgotten in mainstream history.
Our Mission
Inspired by the ideal of ‘Satyen Apadyate Amritam’ (Immortality through Truth), our center aims to uncover relevant, authentic information about the prominent figures and events of national importance that have otherwise been overlooked or misrepresented in mainstream history. This is achieved through in-depth research based on authentic primary sources and presenting it impartially through various media, including print, art, drama, cinema, and digital media.
Our Logo
अमृतं चैव मृत्युश्च द्वयं देहे प्रतिष्ठितम्।
मोहादापद्यते मृत्युः सत्येनापद्यतेऽमृतम
Our logo symbolizes the idea that both immortality and death reside within a human being. A person who walks the path of truth, free from temptation and greed, attains immortality. Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar, by walking the path of truth, elevated her life to the heights of immortality, and her name remains immortal in Indian history.
This symbol signifies that immense potential lies within a person, and their destiny depends on how they control their inner temptations, selfishness, and ignorance. Those who succumb to these weaknesses perish along with their mortal bodies in this transient world and are forgotten with time. However, those who remain steadfast on the path of truth, righteousness, and morality achieve immortality, and their fame endures through the ages.
Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar followed her life's path of truth, duty, and loyalty. Worldly pleasures, luxury, and pride could not touch her. She lived not only as a queen but also as an ascetic, establishing her immortal fame by always following the path of truth. Her life and works have made her a timeless figure in Indian history.
Our logo's message echoes the immortality of Lokmata Ahilyabai, achieved by steadfastly following the path of truth, righteousness, and duty. This logo constantly inspires us to make our lives meaningful and immortal by walking the path of truth.
