Samskriti, the Sanskrit word for culture and civilization is derived from the word 'Samskara', which means the dual process of removing the dust and dirt of vice and planting the virtues of Sathya (Truth), Dharma (Righteousness), Shanti (Peace) and Prema (Love) in the heart. The foundation of Dharma laid down by sages teach people that one should not enthuse over victory or despair over defeat; both are to be welcomed as tests of one's faith.
