What do we mean by ‘Indian culture’?
‘We owe a lot to Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.’- A quote of Albert Einstien.
‘India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, grandmother of legend, and great grandmother of tradition. Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only.’- A quote of Mark Twain.
‘Today I feel sad, sad for India, sad for the world. For India is in mortal danger, its eternal Sanaatan Dharam is under threat. And if India dies spiritually, the world will also die’- A quote of Francois Gautier
Since around 2000 million years, we are living in this country in accordance with all-time-true values. But because of certain reasons from the last 5-6 thousand years, our values have started deteriorating. Since the time our country lost its independence, that is around 2000 years back, the deterioration of our values has been very fast. Today, very few people know about our ‘Sanatan’, that is, all-time-true values. Because of long reign over our country by foreign countries, our values are almost dead and our social system is under great influence of other cultures especially European cultures. For example, today like western countries we consider money as everything but, we totally ignore the ways of earning money. In short, the philosophy of western countries is to give more and more pleasure to this body and towards this goal many machines have been invented there, which no doubt are very useful. Despite the inventions of great modern machines, it can hardly be said that man of today is soulfully happier than he was 200 years back. Reason of this is the absence of all-time-true values. We can have a good estimate of development of western world from the fact that even 100 years have not elapsed in many western countries since the grant of equal rights to females.
