My perception of Indology started germinating during childhood and around Twelve I recall I felt akin to the words of Rabindranath Tagore voiced in “The Spirit of India” : I LOVE INDIA, not because I cultivate the idolatry of geography, not because I have had the chance to be born in her soil, but because she has saved through tumultuous ages the living words that have issued from the illuminated consciousness of her great sons-Satyam Jnanam Anantam Brahma: Brahma is Truth, Brahma is Wisdom, Brahma is Infinite; Santam Sivam Advaitam: Peace is in Brahma, goodness is in Brahma, and the unity of all beings. Brahrna-nistho grhasthah syat tattvajnana-parayanah Yad yat karma prakurvita tad Brahmani samarpayet. 'The householder shall have his life established in Brahma, shall pursue the deeper truth of all things, and in all activities of life dedicate his works to the Eternal Being.' Thus we have come to know that what India truly seeks is not a peace which is in negation, or in some mechanical adjustment, but that which is in Sivam, in goodness; which is in Advaitam, in the truth of perfect union; that India does not enjoin her children to cease from karma, but to perform their karma in the presence of the Eternal, with the pure knowledge of the spiritual meaning of existence; that this is the true prayer of Mother India: Ya eko'varno bahudai saktiyogat, Varnan anekan nihitartho dadhati ; Vicaiti cante visvam adau sa devah, Sa no buddhya subaya samhyunaktu. He who is one, who. is above all colour distinctions, who dispenses the inherent needs of men of all colours, who comprehends all things from their beginning to the end, let Him unite us to one another with wisdom, which is the wisdom of goodness.
