INDIAN CULTURE
Asia is one of the largest continent. It has been the powers
of rich cultures. Bharata varsha, Bharata Khanda is a fount of dynamic culture.
It is as old as the humanity itself. The Vedas and Upanishads enriched the
Asian culture. Vedic seers and saints left a bounteous culture. It is our
ancient heritage.
A religion on the surface is a bundle of rites and rituals.
Rituals are only a means of Dharma and culture is the sap of all outward
practices. Culture is the very vital breath of our attitudes and approaches.
Indian culture is Santana dharma. It is the unifying force of all ages
and generations. Culture is the habit of successful self-control. Santana
dharma is all embracing. It is ever fresh and vigorous.
India is a confluence of cultures. Indian culture reflects
Indian genius. It has amazing integrated power. India is a heaven of a number
of creeds and clans. Culture is the vital breath of all these diverse creeds.
There is unique harmony. Peaceful coexistence is a living reality here. This
reality is the heart beat of our Santana dharma.
Tolerance and compassion, relentless activity and
renunciation are the striking traits of Indian culture. Our life here is all
activity. The goal of all activity is to promote peace and unity. Our breathless
activities (pursuits) should not make us megalomaniacs. Detachments to the
fruit of action is true character. Dispassion is the essence of disinterested
efforts.
Democracy and Secularism are the remarkable expressions of
our culture. Secularism is rational spiritual humanism. All creeds, clans and
codes are different paths. But the goal is one. It is to build a heaven on the
earth. Heaven is in our thoughts, words and deeds. Indian culture envisages one
world order (Vasudhaika Kutumbam). It projects positive values and
attitudes. It regards man as God in flesh and blood. It considers the world as
a temple. Reverence for life – in its infinite manifestations, is the lasting
massage of Indian culture.
