Flushing, NY – Purnima is the founder and President of the Shikshayatan Cultural Center a philanthropic organization instrumental in encouraging and supporting Indian culture through music and art.

Purnima unpretentiously promotes the beauty, good will, and tranquility of Indian art and culture through her in depth educational workshops teaching children and women Hindi, violin, dance, poetry, and painting.

“My sole purpose is for children to connect to their roots and they should know what inspirational and enrichment they can acquire from their Indian heritage,” says Purnima.

According to Purnima, it’s ideal for Indian American people to embrace both cultures as merging idealism from their different values, beliefs, and norms. She feels absolutely blessed and overwhelmingly lucky to be a citizen while maintaining the spirituality and enlightenment from her country.

“My heartfelt purpose is keeping people healthy physically and spiritually and to help the needy less fortunate people,” says Purnima.  “We should all be mindful that wealth is not everything. I teach holistic health, healing, and proper nutrition. If you are healthy you can acquire wealth.  But if you own lavish properties and have millions in the bank but are malnourished and sickly you can never enjoy life.”

Purnima is the publisher of a magazine "Abhyudaya" and the writer of several articles for children as well as Recipient of Ambassador for Peace award from Universal Peace Federation.

“My unwavering hope is that individuals serve all and love all.  Help the needy and you will be at one with God and positively inspire the world,” says Purnima.
