An engine is an instrument for transformation, and this engine is to build the self-perpetuating civilizational moment. How does one go about doing that?
At Bṛhat, we're acutely aware of three pillars:
Civilization Is Culture In Action
The civilizational moment needs rooting in Dharma - of this there is no doubt. Thus a core part of our work is culture creatives that draw from the deep pool of Dhārmika heritage.
It Needs Culture-Compatible Policy
Radical reorientations are needed in education and ecology. To this end, our focus will be on generating policy currency for culture through frameworks, curriculum and more.
The Work Is Inter-Generational
It needs leadership with cultural-cognition to carry the Agni. This cognition needs to permeate even brand and organisation - essential quarters for the overton window shift.
But the severest constraint of them all is Time, and more specifically - moment. The time for a culture engine is now, because we are in the midst of a civilizational moment. What is a civilizational moment? How rare or regular are such moments? How must we respond to them?
