The culture of India, therefore, is such a comprehensive vision of the values of life that it is something which transcends the outlooks of ordinary Indians. We may say that the culture of India is not Hindu religion, if by ‘religion’ we mean what Hinduism is in our minds at the present moment. If Indian culture was identical merely with Hinduism, it could not accommodate other religions; but we live peacefully with other religious cults and faiths.


In India during the medieval times, ambassadors came from the court of Queen Elizabeth; and during the reign of Shivaji, ambassadors from European countries came. They were greeted and taken care of with such affection that they left with a tremendous encomium of the government of India that prevailed at that time. We should read these histories with great caution and care. There was no antipathy to the views of other people, because somehow in the blood of the people in India was ingrained a kind of tolerance – born of an understanding that truth is multifaceted.


Now, the multi-formed vision of reality should naturally take into consideration the forms it takes in other cultures and other views of life. The prophets of the religions which reign supreme in the world these days naturally told the great truths, but do we not think they differ from one another? We think that one religion is opposed to another religion because of the divergence of the codified instructions in their respective gospels, and the consequent conduct which people adopt in their own countries on the basis of these gospels of their own prophets.


The geographical conditions and the historical circumstances of the times required a gospel of the type which was delivered by those great men during those hours. The religious preachings of the prophets – it may be Buddha, or Christ, or Mohammed, or anyone – were like prescriptions of a physician to the diseased humanity. When we are ill with a particular disease, a particular prescription is given to us; but if we are ill with some other disease, the same prescription is not given. And to another individual, the same prescription is not given.


Something like this has been the reason behind the divergence of the instructions of the prophets of the religions reigning supreme today, and it would be foolhardy and idiotic for people to think that they represented a complete truth for eternity without requiring any kind of change whatsoever, needing no amendment at all.

NOTE :

1. Fall of great cultures and civilizations, we read in history, Swamiji, narrating to brush up our memories;

2. Nature ( Prakruthi ), has a concern with culture / civilization;

3. Lord Krishna in Srimad Bhagavad gita says :  "I have two prakruthi-s, one is Nature and the second is Jivatma"

4. Hence NATURE HAS IMPORTANT ROLE IN OUR EXISTENCE;

5. BUT WE FOOLS, DO NOT RESPECT THIS RULE, WE DESTROY THE NATURE, WE POLLUTE THE NATURE;

6. AS THERE IS DIRECT CONNECTION OF NATURE WITH LORD;

7. EXPECT A REACTION FROM NATURE, BY WAY OF CALAMITIES, ALL OUR ACTIONS AGAINST NATURE, NATURE WILL REACT WITH EQUAL FORCE.


OPINION :-

1. CULTURE/CIVILIZATIONS CONNECTED WITH NATURE, UNDERSTAND THIS;

2. RESPECT THE RULES, SUSTAIN NATURE, CULTURE FLOURISHES;

3. RELIGIONS, LANGUAGE, OR ANY MAN MADE SEPARATIONS, MUST BE KEPT AWAY, TO SAVE UNITY AND CIVILIZATION;

4. BHARATHAM EXISTS IN SANATANA DHARMAM, UPANISHADIC CULTURE IS BHARATHAM;

5. BHARATHAM IS INCLUSIVE, TREAT ADITHI AS DEVAS, BELIEVE IN UNIVERSE AS ONE FAMILY;

6. BHARATHAM IS SPIRITUAL NATION, 'BHA' MEANS KNOWLEDGE  and 'RATHAM' IS ONE LIVES IN;

7. HENCE BHARATHAM IS A NATION WHERE PEOPLE LIVE IN KNOWLEDGE!  AT PRESENT IS THIS TRUE? ARE WE BHARATEEYA SO?.

The Nehru-Gandhi dynasty starts with the Mughal man named Ghiyasuddin Ghazi. He was the City Kotwal i.e. police officer of Delhi prior to the uprising of 1857, under the Mughal rule. After capturing Delhi in 1857, in the year of the mutiny, the British were slaughtering all Mughals everywhere. The British made a thorough search and killed every Mughal so that there were no future claimant to the throne of Delhi. The Hindus on the other hand were not targeted by the British unless isolated Hindus were found to be siding with the Mughals, due to past associations. Therefore, it became customary for many Mohammedans to adopt Hindu names. So, the man Ghiyasuddin Ghazi (the word means kafir-killer) adopted- a Hindu name Gangadhar Nehru and thus saved his life by the subterfuge. Ghiyasuddin Ghazi apparently used to reside on the bank of a canal (or Nehr) near the Red Fort. Thus, he adopted the name ‘Nehru’ as the family name. Through out the world, we do not find any descendant other than that of Gangadhar, having the surname Nehru. The 13th volume of the “Encyclopedia of Indian War of Independence” (ISBN:81-261-3745-9) by M.K. Singh states it elaborately. The Government of India have been hiding this fact.
