India’s Treasures
Does India hide something? How many people travel back and forth to that sunny and hot country each year? Why have so many poets, writers, musicians, painters, and artists in general turned to India for an inner renewal? Does India hide something? No, there is no such a mystery. There is, and has always existed, an incalculable treasure of tradition and culture, a horizon so vast that we, even with a timid glance, cannot help but be enchanted and admired. How should we measure and judge India? Certainly, not from what we too often see on the television, or from what the mass media shows us and make us believe. India is not only that place of the villages of huts, of the hungry and impoverished masses. That is only a secondary aspect of it, even though it is real. The authentic India, the bigger one, the one that attracts millions of hopeful people is the one of the poets who wrote the Vedas, the one of the intellectuals of the Upanishads, that of the founders of the philosophy of Vedanta and Sankhya, and that of the authors of the oldest law books that humanity possess. This is the real India, the one we should explore.
This is a section of the book “The Ramayana”, in English.
