Incredible India: A Journey Through Spirituality, Temples, and the World’s Oldest Civilization

India, one of the world’s most ancient civilizations, offers a rich tapestry of spirituality, history, and culture. Known as the land where traditions and faith have flourished for millennia, India is home to countless temples, each narrating stories of devotion, art, and architectural brilliance. From the towering spires of Varanasi's Kashi Vishwanath to the intricate carvings of Khajuraho, these temples stand as sacred spaces where spirituality meets artistry.

India's spiritual landscape is unparalleled—whether through the teachings of ancient texts like the Vedas and Upanishads or the paths of yoga and meditation, India's contribution to spiritual thought is immense. The civilization that began on the banks of the Indus River has evolved into a vibrant society, preserving its timeless heritage while embracing modernity.

Incredible India invites travellers and seekers to explore this timeless spiritual journey, where every corner holds a connection to the divine and every temple tells the story of human aspirations toward peace, wisdom, and enlightenment.

**Scene 1: The Begging Monk**

*Swami Ji stands in front of a house, calling out for alms.*

**Swami Ji:** "Bhiksha de de Maate!" (Give me alms, Mother!)

*A woman comes out of the house, carrying some food, and puts it in Swami Ji's bowl.*

**Woman:** "Mahatma Ji, please give me some advice."

**Swami Ji:** "Not today, I will give you advice tomorrow."

*The woman nods and goes back inside.*

---

**Scene 2: The Next Day**

*Swami Ji returns to the same house the next day, calling out for alms again.*

**Swami Ji:** "Bhiksha de de Maate!"

*The woman, having made kheer (a sweet dish) with almonds and pistachios, comes out holding a bowl of it.*

*Swami Ji holds out his bowl.*

*As the woman is about to pour the kheer, she notices that the bowl is full of dirt and cow dung. She hesitates.*

**Woman:** "Maharaj, your bowl is dirty!"

**Swami Ji:** "Yes, it is dirty. But still, pour the kheer in."

**Woman:** "No, Maharaj, the kheer will get spoiled if I pour it in. Please give me the bowl; I will clean it first."

**Swami Ji:** "So, you will only pour the kheer once the bowl is clean, right?"

**Woman:** "Yes, Maharaj!"

**Swami Ji:** "That is my teaching for today. Just like you won’t put the kheer in a dirty bowl, spiritual teachings cannot benefit a person whose mind is filled with worries, negative thoughts, and bad habits. If you want to truly receive and benefit from spiritual teachings, first cleanse your mind. Only after removing negative tendencies and thoughts can one experience true peace and happiness."

---

**Conclusion & Suggestion:**

Swami Ji's lesson is clear: just as the woman refused to put pure kheer into a dirty bowl, our minds must be clean to receive the pure teachings of spirituality. Today, many people consume information from various sources without discerning its quality, filling their minds with unnecessary clutter. We often follow those who provoke us instead of thinking for ourselves.

The suggestion is simple: clean your mind of negativity and stop following those who incite anger or hatred. Only with a clear and pure mind can we truly benefit from spiritual and intellectual teachings.

Stop mocking a legend whose life is dedicated for Bharat and Sanatan!!

Knowledge gives its sweetness only when we contemplate, understand and test within the laboratory of our intellect. When we dive in the depth of spiritual knowledge, we find jewels of wonderful experiences.

Aggression is not how power is expressed. It is audible in its silent resolve. It comes by storage and concentration of energy which is lost in pointless expression.

Because we always want others to change for us, confrontations always develop. However, even if only one person makes the decision to change thyself, more people will soon follow. The reciprocity law applies here. #brahmakumaris #selftransformation #changeyourmindset #positivelife #knowledgeispower #spirituality #quoteoftheday

I am a soul is a constant realisation rather than only an abstract idea. Realizing means to experience it and embody it in every circumstance, both with others present and while working. Continuous awareness and practise are required for this. #brahmakumaris #quoteoftheday #soulawakening #motivation #spirituality

Peace is a state of being which creates a high vibrational space around it where everyone feels safe and secure. This is because when we are in our true nature of peace, we cannot harm others, not even at thought level.

The state of world is a mere reflection of state of collective human consciousness.
In reality you are the clock of world. If you transform, the world transforms. If you become obstacle free, the world will become problem free.
