With folded hands, a prayer for peace and hopeful hearts, we welcome all readers humility and deep reverence to the inaugural issue of AtmaSamrakṣiṇī. Atma-Samrakṣiṇī has been envisioned as a sacred space dedicated to holistic well-being—where science meets spirituality, and tradition harmonizes with modern understanding. This first issue places special emphasis on women’s health and adolescent health, for they form the very foundation of a resilient society and nation. A woman is not only a nurturer of life but a bearer of culture, wisdom, and emotional strength, the embodiment of Śakti— the dynamic, creative force of existence Yet, her health—physical, hormonal, emotional, and spiritual is often observed to be neglected. Similarly, the stage of adolescence or Kishorāvasthā, stands at the delicate threshold of transformation between innocence and responsibility. Hence, guiding them with awareness, compassion, and knowledge is the collective responsibility, or Dharma.
“May Ārogya (holistic health), Cetanā (awareness), and Śānti (peace) guide your journey. May knowledge become your strength, awareness your shield, and spirituality your guiding light.”
