In Ancient Greece, the Acropolis referred to the sacred centre, that lay higher than the rest of the city. It was a place of inspiration; a bridge that enabled citizens yo connect to the divine, evoking the expression of the higher human virtues. Deriving inspiration from its purpose, The Acropolitan Magazine serves as a tribute to every citizen yearning for these higher principles in all aspects of Life: truth, Beauty, justice, Goodness.

Today, while we may seem to be connected to the whole world through internet and social media, we perhaps live more isolated than ever before from life, nature, and even each other. In the consequent uncertainty, often we let our lives pass by, ignoring a nagging sense of discontent. Even worse, we rush to fill the void with the pursuit of more fleeting material goals. Some of us may wonder though, if there is more to life.
If we look to nature, we will see that everything, even a small bee, has a role to play in the web of life. It follows that we too, as an integral part of this nature, would have a purpose, a role. Unlike the bees though, we have a choice. We can keep drifting along with our circumstances, or we can seek our swadharma, and give a meaningful direction to our life. Mythologies across different traditions have alluded to such an internal conflict within the human being that we must engage in.
Education too, traditionally, was the means to prepare us for this, to bring forth the potential within us, to develop the human being to become capable of perceiving more of the Truth, of Life. Therefore, to do justice to the opportunity we have had to be born as a human being, we need to take purposeful steps, to find our place in life.
To truly experience the human existence, we must dare...to Discover, Awaken, Transform.
