Based on the time-honoured Vedic writings, Indian culture inheres the spirit of tolerance. And accepts diversity as well. This diversity is not only about conceiving the divine, but also approaching it. This book -- occasioned by the 75th anniversary of the Institute of Culture -- gives a glimpse of the continuity of certain principles of Indian Vedic-based culture, the celebration of its diversity, and its openness for synthesis. Essentially a collection of 17 articles, written by the highly learned monks of the Ramakrishna Order, the book is offered in five thematically organized sections: Vedic Basis to Indian Culture – Vedic Resonance in the Epics and Puranas – Systematization, Prctice and Experience of Vedic Philosophy and Spirituality – The Spirit of Harmony in Indian Culture – The Continuity of Vedic Culture in the Modern World. These articles were previously published in The Cultural Heritage of India.

The volume holds out immense appeal to academics, spiritual aspirants, and discerning readers interested in the Vedic trajectory of Indian culture.
