I Dream of
You
From the land of the free, to the
very Far East… where the sun rises, there is a place where
all man’s dreams have found a home. The cradle of human
race and the mother of human history never sleep.
Non-violence has been its greatest weapon; and it is in profound
silence, that its light is found. Christopher Columbus was attracted
to its wealth, when America, he discovered by mistake.
Its name is in honor of the rivers and valleys around which brave
settlers found a home. Invasion of other lands, its history, knows
none…And yet, its presence is felt by the entire world.
From the art of navigation, to the number system, to Sanskrit,
the source of all higher languages…this is not ordinary
place. Intriguing and fascinating, its past and history is…Polygenetic,
its population flows in all directions around the globe; and amazing
amalgamation of various races and cultures, make up its splendor
in time and space.
From chess to algebra, trigonometry and calculus, its brilliance
delivered to the world. Ayuverda, the first school of medicine,
for the enhancement of human life, knew its principles on its
soil, for the very fist time.
A blue peacock sky witnesses the great poem on stone, Taj Mahal!
Its landscapes are filled with lotus flowers and Banyan trees;
witnessing the secrets of the most ancient and living civilization
in the world, through the passage of time.
Many are the tyrants and murderers, who have wanted to overpower
its beauty, wisdom and candor-who seemed invincible at the time-But,
as father Gandhi said, “At the end, they always fall”.
Mr. Albert Stein, a Jewish borne, mesmerized by its grace said,
“A lot is owed to you, who taught the world how to count…without
it, no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made”.
It will rise and claim its right! Man or nature, to make it the
most extraordinary place on earth, has left nothing out. It is
its energy and ambition…Asleep, it will never be.
The same gracefulness with which it influenced China for more
than 20 centuries, without ever having to send a soldier across
its border…In modern times, a hub of technology innovation
and talent, makes it the most promising and dynamic economy of
the world!
The world is looking at you, more than ever before...the beauty
of all is that its people treasure their nation’s culture
in their heart and in their soul.
Loved, you are by your biological children-Others, You have adopted
by heart. Mother of our race and our philosophy…you inspire
the eternal meaning of life. You possess everything…but
nothing and no one possess you!
I dream of you, India…
