Guest guest Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 SPIRITUALITY AS THE BACKBONE OF INDIA- SWAMI VIVEKANANDA Our sacred motherland is a land of religion and philosophy - the birthplace of spiritual giants , the land of renunciation. Each nation appears to have a particular ideal - a prominent ideal running through its national life. Politics ,military,power,commercial supremacy,mechanical genius,etc., are the fields of specialisation for different nations. But spirituality has always been the way of life in India. It is widely thought that Hindus a mild and passive race, deacadent and effete. This is an absurd notion. We have been spiritually active, and it is because of it that our ancient and magnanimous race still lives. The eyes of the whole world are now turned towards this land of India for spiritual ideals enshrined in Sanskrit. Religious research has discovered that there is not a country possessed of a good ethical code but has borrowed some of what it possesses, and there is not one religion having correct ideas of immorality of the soul but hasdirectly or indirectly drawn from us. We may be degraded and degenerated now, but however degraded and degenerated we may be, we can become great he only we begin to work in right earnest on behalf of our religion.
