India is the Best of Bests, the greatest of greats, as it is the only country in the whole world which has the power to transform a human being into divine being and this spiritual power is the living energy of India. India is the birth place of spirituality, the birth place of love, devotion, art and science, the birth place of great world religions viz., Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and Jainism, still perpetuated in the form of Vedas, the Bhagavad Gita and Shri Guru Granth Sahib, the birth place of celestial music and dance. India is the divine land of holy Ganga and Himalayas, the divine land of truth, love and peace, the divine land of heavenly beauty of nature, the divine land of grand culture, history and philosophy. Indeed, India does not mean simply a country, a political or historical entity nor it is a mad race behind the materialism rather India is a name of spiritual journey, an eternal journey to the Abode of Bliss. The people who are running behind the materialism are not Indians even if they are born in India, on contrary the one who has a seeking for the inward journey of 'self-realization', is an Indian in true sense may be he is living in any part of the world. India and spirituality are not two different words rather the synonyms of each other. Because of this power of spirituality, India is best throughout the world. The fate of India is the fate of whole humanity as Truth is in favour of India. No scriptures in the whole world are as great as the Vedas, the symbol of Truth. The divine teachings of Vedas, Upanishads, Ramayana, Bhagavad Gita, Guru Granth Sahib are not mere teachings but the eternal teachings, showing the path of spiritualism, that human being everywhere and always is a part and parcel of Divine Being and to realize this Divinity is the ultimate aim of human life. Mysticism, bhakti and yoga are the hallmarks of Indian culture, Vedantism is its philosophy. The Ganga, the Yamuna, the Brahmaputra, the Saraswati are its sacred rivers. Thousands of seekers practiced meditation over many years on the pious land of India and attained Perfection to solve the hidden riddles of life, so even the air vibrates with spiritual energy, Such a glorious India is! The western countries attach importance to materialism of steel, of factories and of machinery, India attaches importance of things of spirit, to God and soul, prayer and meditation. To the west, this world is be all and end all of life, India believes in other worldliness, in the life beyond death.
