| THE VALUE OF HINDU CULTURE FOR
THE WORLD |
|
|
Nor is Indian
culture anything to hide or be ashamed of. It is not something contrary to or apart from
yogic spirituality but the unfoldment of meditative values in the outer life. It is not
something inferior to Western culture that one should be ashamed of, but a vastly superior
system and a potential means of uplifting Western culture. Though perhaps technologically
deficient compared to that of the West, in the spiritual, philosophical and aesthetic
realms Hindu culture goes far beyond it.
Modern Hindus in India tend to be apologetic about their culture, and its many temples,
rituals, chants, festivals, form and images. If they have a spiritual side they are more
ikely to connect with Vedantic ideas or with modern teachers like Krishnamurti or
Rajneesh, where there appears to be little concern or even a disdain for this plethora of
forms. They may prefer Western intellectual culture, which appears more sophisticated. |
