Passage 5

Bharath - The Birthplace of Spirituality

Bharath is the birthplace of spirituality and dharma. Peace and nonviolence also took birth in Bharath. The search for Truth done in Bharath has not been done anywhere else. This land is the birthplace of the Sapta Rishis. This is the country in which the first poet, Valmiki, and the classifier of the Vedas, Vyasa, took birth. This is the supremely sacred land of dharma in which Krishna taught the Bhagavad Gita. This is Rama’s kingdom. This is the soil on which Buddha was born. Bharath has always been replete with minds inquiring into the Truth, hands engaged in dharma, and hearts immersed in the Lord.
