Greatness of Indian Culture


 Max Muller,the German Philosopher and Indologist , deeply impressed by Indian Culture,said, "If I were to look over the whole world to find out the country most richly endowed with all the wealth, power and beauty that Nature can bestow, in some parts a very paradise on earth, I should point to India ."
" 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 to some of them which deserve the attention of even of those who have studied Plato and Kant , I should point to India."
" And if I were to ask myself from what literature we in Europe, we who have nurtured exclusively on the thoughts of the Greeks and Romans and of the Semitic race, the Jewish, may draw that corrective which is most wanted in order to make our inner life more comprehensive, more universal, in fact a more truly a human life, not for this life only, but a transfigured and eternal life, again I should point to India."



Arnold Toynbee, an eminent British historian, foresaw a surge in oriental values that would lead to the revival of the West. He said, " It is already becoming clear that a chapter which had a Western beginning will have to 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 to salvation for mankind is the Indian way."

So up lifting ! No one can read this and not come away revitalized.
