Today at the beginning of 21st Century, we are still struggling to understand the greatness of our Motherland and her contribution to the world’s progress. What we need today is the positive attitude towards our ancient glory and present day talents. This mindset shall boost our self-confidence and bring out the best from us for the human wellbeing. Future generations of India shall act with confidence and self-esteem when they possess the strong conviction about her cultural greatness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf there is any land on this earth that can lay claim to be blessed Punya Bhumi. The land where humanity has attained its highest towards gentleness, towards generosity, towards purity, towards calmness, above all the land of introspection and of spirituality, it is India. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe find that the Indian race never stood for wealth. Although they acquired immense wealth, perhaps, more than any other nation ever acquired, yet the nation did not stand for wealth. It was a powerful race for ages, yet we find that nation never stood for power, never went out of the country to conquer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe debt, which the world owes to our motherland, is immense. As I look back upon the history of my country, I do not find in the whole world another country, which has done quite so much for the improvement of the human mind. Therefore, I have no words of condemnation for my Nation. I tell them, 'You have done well; only try to do better.' \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndia has given to antiquity the earliest scientific physicians (Sushruta \u0026amp; Charaka) and according to Sir William Hunter, she has even contributed to modern medical science by discovery of various chemicals and by teaching you how to reform misshapen ears and noses. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven more it has done in mathematics, for algebra, geometry, astronomy, and the triumph of modern science -- mixed mathematics -- were all invented in India, just so much as the ten numerals, the very cornerstone of all present civilization, were discovered in India, and are in reality, Sanskrit words. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'In philosophy we are even now head and shoulders above any other nation, as Schopenhauer, the great German philosopher has confessed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn music India gave to the world her system of notation, with the seven cardinal notes and the diatonic scale, all of which we enjoyed as early as 350 B.C., while it came to Europe only in the eleventh century. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn philology, our Sanskrit language is now universally acknowledged to be the foundation of all European languages, which, in fact, are nothing but jargonized Sanskrit. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'In literature, our epics and poems and dramas rank as high as those of any language; our 'Shaguntala' [Shakuntala ] was summarized by Germany's greatest poet, as 'heaven and earth united'. India has given to the world the fables of Aesop, which were copied by Aesop from an old Sanskrit book; it has given the Arabian Nights, yes, even the story of Cinderella and the Bean Stalks. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn manufacture, India was the first to make cotton and purple [dye], it was proficient in all works of jewelry, and the very word 'sugar', as well as the article itself, is the product of India. Lastly she has invented the game of chess and the cards and the dice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThree quarters of the wealth of the world has come out of India, and does even now. The commerce of India has been the turning point, the pivot, of the history of the world. Whatever nation got it became powerful and civilized. The Greeks got it and became the mighty Greeks; the Romans got it and became the mighty Romans. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndia has been the one country to which every nation that has become strong wants to go and conquer--it being reputed to be very rich. The wealth of the people had become a fable, even in the most ancient history. [Many foreign invaders] rushed to become wealthy in India and conquered the country. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery one of these invasions destroyed one or more of these families, burned many libraries and houses. And when that was so, much literature was lost. It is only within the last few years that ideas have begun to spring up about the retention of these various religions and books. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo great, in fact, was the superiority of India in every respect, that it drew to her borders the hungry cohorts of Europe, and thereby indirectly brought about the discovery of America. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd I challenge anybody to show one single period of her national life when India was lacking in spiritual giants capable of moving the world. But her work is spiritual, and that cannot be done with blasts of war - trumpets or the march of cohorts. Her influence has always fallen upon the world like that of the gentle dew, unheard and scarcely marked, yet bringing into bloom the fairest flowers of the earth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe education that you are getting now has some good points, but it has a tremendous disadvantage which is so great that the good things are all weighed down. In the first place it is not a man - making education, it is merely and entirely a negative education. A negative education or any training that is based on negation is worse than death. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe child is taken to school, and the first thing that he learns is that his father is a fool, the second thing that his grandfather is a lunatic, the third thing that all his teachers are hypocrites, the fourth that all the sacred books are lies! By the time he is sixteen he is a mass of negation, lifeless and boneless. And the result is that fifty years of such education has not produced one original man in the three Presidencies. Every man of originality that has been produced has been educated elsewhere, and not in this country or they have gone to the old universities once more to cleanse themselves of superstitions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA nation that has no history of its own has nothing in this world. Out of the past is built the future. Look back, therefore, as far as you can, drink deep of the eternal fountains that are behind, and after that, look forward, march forward and make India brighter, greater, much higher than she ever was. Our ancestors were great. We must first recall that. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe more, therefore, the Hindus study the past, the more glorious will be their future, and whoever tries to bring the past to the door of everyone, is a great benefactor to his nation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor a complete civilization the world is waiting, waiting for the treasures to come out of India, waiting for the marvelous spiritual inheritance of that race, which, through decades of degradation and misery, the nation has still clutched to her breast. The world is waiting for that treasure; little do you know how much of hunger and of thirst there is outside of India for these wonderful treasures of our forefathers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe more you go out and travel among the nations of the world, the better for you and for your country. I went to America and Europe, to which you so kindly allude; This reviving national life, expanding inside, threw me off, and thousands will be thrown off in that way. Mark my words; it has got to come if this nation lives at all. \u003cbr\u003eBut one vision I see clear as life before me: that the ancient Mother has awakened once more, sitting on her throne rejuvenated, more glorious than ever. Proclaim her to the entire world with the voice of peace and benediction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.\tThe Significance of 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eASTRONOMICAL TALENTS\u003cbr\u003e2.\tSpherical Earth-Who knew it first?\u003cbr\u003e3.\tMany Apples had fallen before Newton’s  Gravity Laws\u003cbr\u003e4.\tWho goes around whom, Earth vs. Sun?\u003cbr\u003e5.\tSeven Colours of Sun Light\u003cbr\u003e6.\tMeasuring the Speed of Light\u003cbr\u003e7.\tScaling the Eternal Time\u003cbr\u003e8.\tJantar-Mantar, a place for monitoring Heavens\u003cbr\u003e9.\tComets\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMEDICAL TALENTS\u003cbr\u003e10.\tPioneering the Surgery – World’s First Surgeons\u003cbr\u003e11.\tAyurveda-A Therapeutical Treasure\u003cbr\u003e12.\tHridayam-for Healthy Heart Beats\u003cbr\u003e13.\tTest Tubes Babies\u003cbr\u003e14.\tBenefiting from the Cow\u003cbr\u003e15.\tTulasi, the wonder herb\u003cbr\u003e16.\tLong drawn battles for Turmeric and Neem\u003cbr\u003e17.\tCopper Shields our Health\u003cbr\u003e18.\tSuccessful Jai – “poor” Foot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e GREEN SKILLS OF ETERNAL INDIA\u003cbr\u003e19.\tTraditional Agricultural Expertise\u003cbr\u003e20.\tFather of Botony – Sage Parasara\u003cbr\u003e21.\tIndian Cattle Science\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSCIENTIFIC TALENTS\u003cbr\u003e22.\tGenius of Indian Mathematical Brains\u003cbr\u003e23.\tIndian Chemistry through Ages\u003cbr\u003e24.\tShip Building Skills\u003cbr\u003e25.\tMachine Science of India\u003cbr\u003e26.\tHijacked Indian Aeronautics\u003cbr\u003e27.\tSound Secrets\u003cbr\u003e28.\tHidden Knowledge in Nataraja’s Cosmic Dance\u003cbr\u003e29.\tFinding the Basic Building Blocks of the Universe – Atomic theory.\u003cbr\u003e30.\tString Theory\u003cbr\u003e31.\tTime Space \u0026amp;
