A JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES BEGINS WITH A SINGLE STEP - CONFUCIUS

INDIA - a place of human journey from body to mind and mind to soul, the realm of self discovery and realization, land of mysteries and mystics, abode of gods and goddesses, rich in natural beauty with the wealth of lush greenmountain slopes, barren hills and snow clad heights, rippling rivers, murmuring mazywaterways, whispering forests, silent desert, coconut tree lined vast coastal line and golden beaches, river deltas, rocky southern plateau, flora and fauna and six seasons. Its vast land mass sustains second largest population in the world. Planet's highest mountains - the Himalayas had been a challenge to the mankind till 1953.

These are geographical features and thus natural gifts of Mother Nature. The outline forms the boundaries but populace makes a country. Being a 5000 year old civilization India can be evaluated by a deep look into its perpetual strong social texture despite diversity of religions, languages, produce, food habits, attires, customs, traditions, ceremonies, sports, arts, seasons, terrains, flora & fauna. To know real India, close interaction with the Indian societies is a must with the knowledge of the background of their evolution through ages to the present modern state.

India is the origin of Vedas, the known text books of knowledge and series of commentary through ages to makethem conceivable to common man. The use of sound vibrations for the good of the human race, daily rituals, music, medicine and all useful to the mankind can be found in Vedas. Unfortunately many later commentaries by learned scholars are destroyed and not traceable now, yet what is available is treasure for the entire world. India is only country that did not then exercise Intellectual Property Rights on any thing discovered, invented or devised which was for the betterment of the human beings at large in the fields of science, mathematics, medicine, technology etc.

The Varnas (Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra) and caste system of Indian society are unique in the entire world with the emphasis on purity of blood. Not necessary that a person of a particular caste must practice the profession of his ancestors.

India distinctly holds topmost position in revealing the secrets of birth and death and beyond. Their knowledge of body, mind and soul is inspiring. To know the unknown, whose manifestation is visible all around was their aim which was achieved through experiments and experiences. The Creator and thecreation have been defined in unambiguous terms. Even the life of the present universe has been declared in solar years. The treatises on astrology to establish the effects of planets on the course of events in any human's life have been marvelous contribution to the development of astronomy and mathematics. The reading of palm, sole, fingers, forehead and predictions on events in life of a subject are very common in India.

Indian society teems with stories from mythology and epics. The stories narrate the valour and chivalry of the olden ages containing the moral education for the society. Some of the stories talk about the transmigration of soul by king Vikrmaditya as well as the splitting of body in numerous identical forms like Machhendranath at Kamroop (Assam) and Lord Krishna at Maharaasa. There is an established tradition of Siddhas and Nathas who can create anything out of thin air with their Yogic powers. You may even come face to face with such a person in a crowded street of a city.


INDIA pioneered the possibility of longevity of human body through slowing down the aging process while staying fit. Through herbal medicine they removed the ailments of body; through spirituality they freed the soul from the cycle of death and rebirth. This all is the result of thousands of years of close observation of nature, collection of data and its analysis, exchanging notes, pronouncement of results, and then putting them in application for the upliftment of mankind. The research on existence of spirits and their activities vindicates the Preta Yoni of Indian philosophy.

INDIA is pioneer of YOGA. Yoga means to add or unite. The external branch of Yoga is to train and discipline thebody and adds to the longevity by keeping physical fitness through various postures and methods of respiration. The internal branch of Yoga deals with training of mind to attain the bliss of Samadhi, the final state of consciousness and ultimate union with the non -descript Absolute. A yogi attains unique powers and can createthings out of blue by simple thought. Indian yogis are known through out the world for their extra ordinary mental and spiritual powers. Experience the Yoga at many centres through out the length and breadth of this country.

India is the land of Kamasutra, the unmatched treatise on the art of errotic love. Many temples in India have irresistible carvings based on the art of love. The temples of Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh are dedicated to the theme and artful depiction of love translated in stone. The Sun Temple of Konark, temples in Puri have this theme carved in stone in artistic way.

The Mantras, use of sound vibrations for positive results, the Yantra, personification of divine or its aspect through geometrical figures, and the Tantra, a practice to train the mind to direct an idea to perform practically are beyond perception. Man sitting hundreds of miles away with eyes shut narrating events happening at non-visiblelocation like running commentary of a cricket match without any aid. The people, perfect in these disciplines can be encountered here and there in India.

This may sound astonishing that the information on planets, their orbits, diameters and distances from the earth have been so precisely given in Puranas, as if some one had measured them physically.

The Indian theory of
DASHAVTARA is a symbolic interpretation of evolution of man on the planet as well asprogression towards perfection and spirituality. Many Indian temples have this theme etched in stone.

The personification of Indian gods and goddesses in clay/stone/metal treating those as living ones after Prana Pratishtha is to kill ego to eliminate the chance of rebirth and to keep the society clean of oppression and exploitation of the weak by the powerful. The compassion towards all animates in feeding the animals, birds, insects and aquarians before eating himself is Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam (whole of the world is one family) is true humane practice of Hinduism.

The management of water resources and keep them unpolluted, rainwater harvesting, management of waste produced by humans (of course it was all biodegradable then), planning of cities and towns, imposition of custom duty and system of taxation including Entertainment tax proves a highly advanced governance mode. Kautilya dedicated Arthasashtra in 4th century B.C. an ultimate treatise on polity and governance till date.

The reference of Pushpaka Viman driven by unconventional energy, development of war heads, rocket launchers and missiles used in Mahabharata and Ramayana are few landmarks of success in production of weapons of mass destruction of the army of the enemy (civilians were kept unharmed during battle). Science of alchemy, changing the physical properties of a lower metal in to higher one must have been one of the causes of India being 'Golden Sparrow'.

Forts and palaces of Rajas and Maharajas narrate the glory and grandeur of Indian princely states of the bygone era in, with the architectural beauty and aesthetics of proportions; blue backwaters of Kerala; heart of Hindu civilization; Varanasi the abode of Lord Shiva; Taj Mahal - Mausoleum of Love; Ujjain, the seat of Mahakaal with astronomy carved in stone in 'Jantar Mantar' leaves one aghast.

Delve into the lesser known tribal land or wander through untouched beauty of Indian North Eastern states, the experience of India is uniquely unforgettable. The festivities on birth till end of physical form, changing seasons, songs of cuckoo and nightingale, mirth and merriment, smile and laughter, song and dance after day's toil, patience and contentment, adages and jokes, fatalism and optimism are rarely perceived elsewhere very particularly when the per capita income in India is still very low comparatively. It may sound unbelievable, yet a wonderful reality for experience and that is
INDIA. Look in the past and peep in the future while in INDIA.
