Ancient Insights, Indian Culture and Modern Man

Boundaries have been changed several times but the world has not got peace by now. Vedanta alone can unite the world. Vedanta is not the monopoly of Hindus.  The truths of Vedanta are echoed in all the scriptures of all religions of the world. Vedanta teaches you the religions of oneness, religion of love which alone can bring peace in the world.

-Swami Sivananda

Is the 20^th century human race really civilized and progressive? We have the negative side and positive side in this human world. The task before us now and tomorrow is to do all that we can to replace the negative by the positive. We must rise up from   lower to the higher life, unspiritual to the spiritual. Emphasize benign and creative unity instead of dire destructive disunity. Work for universal brotherhood and world peace. Work as though this task depends upon you. Be an instrument of love, harmony and peace.

Swami Chidanada

 India has a place on the international platform because of hoary spiritual wealth. Rediscover this inheritance and evolve yourself. If we have an army of men and women who know what culture and philosophy are- who ever started living it and have come to determine attitude that come what may “we shall not budge from these convictions” – then overnight we shall find a change over in our situation.

-Swami Chinmayananda 

The values which have been taught in India over the last 5000 years have great relevance to the present times.  And yet so few Indians are aware of our priceless heritage. The golden treasure lies in our arts, literatures, culture, philosophy and some sciences. The golden voices of ancient India have come to us down the ages through countless sages and saints. Our culture which is primarily concerned with spiritual development and beholding the world as one family (Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam) is of special significance in the modern age marked by globalization and  obsolescence of the materialistic civilization.

-Nani A Palkhiwala

The most fundamental of all fundamental principles is that a Spirit, supreme and unchanging, pervades the entire universe and the material world is merely a manifestation of that Spirit. Thousands of years ago, India perceived this principle even more clearly, an understood its implications even more deeply, than the most highly civilized nations do today. The infinite mystery of the material world can never be explained merely in material terms and science in its most advanced stage is closer to Vedanta than ever before.

-Nani A Palkhiwala

One vision I see clear as life before me; that the ancient Mother (India) has awakened once more, sitting on Her throne rejuvenated, more glorious than ever.

-Swami Vivekanada

 “After all I am doing obeisance to them as a mark of my deep respect for their learning, wisdom and sacrifice. What matters in life is not a person’s status or position, but his virtues and wisdom”

-Emperor Ashoka in reverence of Buddhist Monks.

If there is  any honesty in India today, any hospitality, any chastity, any philanthropy, any tenderness to the dumb creatures, any aversion to evil, any love to do good, it is due to whatever remains of the old faith and the old culture.

-Sri C.Rajgopalachari

 India of the ages is not dead, nor has she spoken her last creative word; she lives and has still something to do for herself and human race.

-Sri Aurobindo

India is destined to be the teacher of all lands.

-Sri Rabindranath Tagore

India is eternal, everlasting. Though the beginnings of her numerous civilizations go so far back in time that they are lost in twilight of history, she has the gift of perpetual youth. Her culture is ageless and is as relevant to our 21^st century as it was 21 centuries before Christ.

-Nani A. Palkhiwala

It is already becoming clear that a chapter on atomic science which had a western beginning will have an Indian ending if it is not to end in the self-destruction of the human race….. At this supremely dangerous moment in human history, the only way of salvation for mankind is the Indian way, - Emperor Ashoka’s and Mahatma Gandhi’s principle of nonviolence and Sri Ramkrishna’s testimony to the harmony of religion. This alone makes it possible for human race to grow together into a single family.

-Dr. Arnold Toynbee

She (India ) has left indelible imprints on one fourth of the human race in the course of a long succession of centuries. She has the right to reclaim ... her place amongst the great nations summarizing and symbolizing the spirit of humanity. From Persia to the Chinese sea, from the icy regions of Siberia to Islands of Java and Borneo, India has propagated her beliefs, her tales, and her civilization!”

-Sylvia Levi

If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions, I should point to India”

-Max Mueller

India was the mother of our race and Sanskrit the mother of Europe ’s languages. She was the mother of our philosophy, mother through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics, mother through Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity, mother through village communities of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all.”

-Will Durant

”India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition. Our most valuable and most astounding materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only!”

-Mark Twain

Dharma in science age: In the age of science we have to rise above all faiths and develop one manavdharma (human religion). The elements which are unrighteous and traces of ignorance will burn to ashes in the fire of science and elements which are righteous and pure will shine with resplendence. The perception of man will continue to expand due to science and expanded consciousness is dharma. I have full faith that dharma will be established on the foundation of science.

-Acharya Vinoba Bhave

The fate of human race is more than ever dependant on its moral strengths today. The only way to a joyful end happy state is through renunciation and self limitation everywhere. The scientific workers are the only profoundly religious people.

-Albert Einstein

Modern science is the manifestation of real religious spirit for it seeks to understand the truth by sincere effort

-Swami Vivekananda

Religions deals with the truths of metaphysics world just as chemistry and other natural sciences deal with truths of physical world

-Swami Vivekananda

The enigma and charm of India has caught the imagination of endless number of poets, thinkers, scientists, and philosophers. India offered something to ponder everyone’s perspective. Quotes by the eminent people are one interesting way to get a glimpse of India. There has been no more revolutionary contribution than the one which the Hindus (Indians) made when they invented zero

- Lancelot Hogben (English mathematician)

India – The land of Vedas , the remarkable works contain not only religious ideas for a perfect life, but also facts which science has proved true. Electricity, radium, electronics, airship, all were known to the seers who founded the Vedas

- Wheeler Wilcox (American poet)

After the conversations about Indian philosophy, some of the ideas of Quantum Physics that had seemed so crazy suddenly made much more sense

- W. Heisenberg (German Physicist)

India is not an underdeveloped country, but rather, in the context of its history and cultural heritage, a highly developed one in an advanced state of decay

- Shashi Tharoor (Indian author. In his ‘The Great Indian Novel’)

It is not only a country and something geographical, but the home and the youth of the soul, the everywhere and nowhere, the oneness of all times 

- Herman Hesse (German poet and novelist)

Perhaps in return for conquest, arrogance and spoilation, India will teach us the tolerance and gentleness of the mature mind, the quiet content of the unacquisitive soul, the calm of the understanding spirit, and a unifying, a pacifying love for all living things

- Will Durant (American Historian)

 India of the ages is not dead nor has she spoken her last creative word; she lives and has still something to do for herself and the human peoples. And that which must seek now to awake is not anglicized oriental people, docile pupil of the West and doomed to repeat the cycle of the occident's success and failure, but still the ancient immemorable Shakti recovering her deepest self, lifting her head higher towards the supreme source of light and strength and turning to discover the complete meaning and a vaster form of her Dharma

-Shri Aurobindo (Indian philosopher)

I believe that the civilization India has evolved is not to be beaten in the world. Nothing can equal the seeds sown by our ancestry. Rome went; Greece shared the same fate; the might of the Pharaohs was broken; Japan has become westernized; of China nothing can be said; but India is still, somehow or other, sound at the foundation

- Mahatma Gandhi

India is eternal. Though the beginnings of her numerous civilizations go so far back in time that they are lost in the twilight of history, she has the gift of perpetual youth. Her culture is ageless and is as relevant to this present 20th century as it was to the 20th century before Christ

- Nani Ardeshir Palkhiwala (Indian lawyer & philanthropist)

Hinduism is a living organism liable to growth and decay subject to the laws of Nature. One and indivisible at the root, it has grown into a vast tree with innumerable branches. The changes in the season affect it. It has its autumn and its summer, its winter and its spring. It is, and is not, based on scriptures. It does not derive its authority from one book.

-Mahatma Gandhi

In Hinduism, there can be as many spiritual paths as there are spiritual aspirants & similarly there can really be as many Gods as there are devotees to suit the moods, feelings, emotions & social background of the devotees

- Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa (Bengali Saint)

It may appear somewhat strange that our government should be secular one while our culture is rooted in spiritual values. Secularism here does not mean irreligion or atheism or even stress on material comforts. It proclaims that it lays stress on the university of spiritual values that may be attained by a variety of ways

-S. Radhakrishnan (Indian philosopher & scholar)

Religion is a transforming experience. It is not a theory of God. It is spiritual consciousness. Belief and conduct, rites and ceremonies, dogmas and authorities are subordinate to art of self-discovery and contact the Divine

 -S. Radhakrishnan (Indian philosopher & scholar)

It is important to appreciate that the historical achievements in India in critical reasoning, public deliberation and analytical scrutiny as well as in science and mathematics, architecture, medicine, painting and music, are products of Indian society – involving both the Hindus and non-Hindus, and including the skeptical as well as the religious

- Amartya Sen (Indian economist)

It has been my long-standing conviction that India is like a donkey carrying a sack of gold - the donkey does not know what it is carrying but is content to go along with the load on its back. The load of gold is the fantastic treasure - in arts, literature, culture, and some sciences like Ayurvedic medicine - which we have inherited from the days of the splendor that was India

- Nani Ardeshir Palkhiwala (Indian lawyer & philanthropist)

India has all along been trying experiments in evolving a social unity within which all the different peoples could be held together, while fully enjoying the freedom of maintaining their differences. The tie has been as loose as possible, yet as close as circumstances permitted. This has produced something like a United Statesof a social federation, whose common name is Hinduism

 - Rabindranath Tagore (Indian poet & philosopher)

Apostle Remedies affirms its resolve to serve as a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern science
