all that glitters not gold … goes the famous saying. It simply means that not everything is what it seems. Wondering why i am talking about Gold and its “properties” ? … Its because, i have been thinking a lot about “Gold” and “Wealth” and its significance in Hindu Culture.

The readers of my blog have by now understood that i am myself trying to “comprehend” what Hindu Culture is … and what are the factors or foundations that Hindu Culture has, which makes it survive its vast history through time immemorial.

Surely, that fact that Hindu Culture has “Survived” this long period in the Human History, means that essentially there must be some … “good and wonderful” … “essentials” … in this Hindu Civilization … those “essentials” which are must for any civilization to survive for mammoth periods of time.
