One of the best video we ever witnessed
India or the Republic of
India is called "Bharat" in her national language Hindi. Bharat is
derived from the sanskrit word "Bharata" which is composed of two root
words. "Bha" which means light and Knowledge and "rata" means devoted.
That is India and the people who inhabit India are defined by their
devotion to light and knowledge as opposed to darkness and ignorance.
This relentless pursuit of truth by the people who inhabit India since
time immemorial is what makes India so special and great in world.
India is the only place in the world where one is encouraged, cherished and respected to sit and do nothing!!!!. It is the only place in the world where renunciation of this world is given an equivalent, no infact an higher place than action (by definition even thinking without doing any physical activity is considered action). India knows the simple and yet profound secret that the true knowledge and true liberation can be had only when one is at peace with ones own self. So, whenever external forces who do not understand the true spirit of India, threatened India and her peace, one of her innumerable swamis, sannyasis, fakirs, yogis or baabas who have conquered their own self thereby becoming all powerful with infinite bliss and joy in themselves have come to her rescue and protected her people. (Gandhiji and swami vivekananda are the most recent examples...swami vivekananda one of India's foremost nation builders was a wandering monk and Gandhiji was a half naked fakir/sannyasi !!! who stood against the British empire! proving again and again those immortal words uttered by Krishna in Bhagavadgita.."whenever my people are threatened by immoral and irreligious behavior my cosmic spirit will manifest by the power of itself into a body and protect the righteous". India believes in universal toleration and is refuge to people across the world who are persecuted in their own countries.
So, if you want to truly understand India go in the spirit of a renunciate, an ascetic and understand her spiritual nature. If you go in expensive clothes and try to talk only pigs, cows, bulls, buffalos and dogs will stare at you. But, if you go as an ascetic and renouncer of the world and talk to people about metaphysics and mysteries of the world they will bow to you, respect you and follow you with infinite devotion, love and affection.
Oh my India, I just want to roll and rub my nose in your dust across the length and breadth of your great land.
Jai Hind
