India would be a Cultural force and a hope for Mankind

You could easily experience the vigor of a poetic passage from the Bhagavat Gita as:

“Thou who hast come to this unhappy and transient world, Love and turn to me…”(“Anithyam asUkam lOkam imAm, prapya bhajasva mAm” : Sri Aurobindo quotes this line as an example of poetry of the illumined mind) by ‘turning’ on to the serene face of the Perumal in his Ananda Sayanam or lost in the mystic silence of the Shiva Lingam.

It was a relishing experience to visit the various Temples. India would be a Cultural force and a hope for Mankind as long as its Spirituality existed. The Temples in India are the remnants of such a hope and I wish they are not just reminders of the glory of the great Spiritual civilization they stand for, but also provide nourishment to our troubled souls in our troubled times.- vishvesh (September, 2004) posted by Rambling Traveller at 10:57 AM
