TogglePast reputation
India has been the centre of attraction to the whole world since long.India had been accepted and respected as the ‘Vishwa-Guru'(The world-teacher) in ancient times.The whole world was enlightened by the glow of Mahatma Buddha and Mahaveer. The people with spiritual thirst visited India from across the globe.
India made exceptional progress in the field of spiritual enlightment, Yoga, Ayurved, Jyotish(Astrology) and science just around the begining of the Christian-Calendar. The western world was baffled by this progress specially during the 19th & 20th century so they termed this progress as superstition and show of magic.But when thing unfolded themselves,the reality was completely different.

Losing the trails of greatness
India lost the trails of its greatness due to slavery and lethal attacks on his culture and tradition by Muslims first and Britishers later.Muslims attacked our cultural greatness and spirituality while Britishers weakened our economic prosperity.
Awakening the spirit of India
During the Indian Freedom Struggle, Swami Vivekanand , Swami Dayanand Saraswati and Raja Ram Mohan Rai tried to awaken the spirit of India . By the efforts of these people, the same people that termed India as a backward and superstitious country,bowed their head with respect. They discovered the glory of India that was forgotten by Indian.
What were the things that glowed and put India as the respectable place of ‘Vishwa-Guru’ ?.
The things of Indian greatness were related to inner-world(spiritual world).India gave the ‘sutras’ of inner world. India gave the life-style that encircle the whole world into one family. The philosophy of India showed the world the path of peace-progress and unity.
When a person remains connected to his/her soul, he/she is near to the biggest power of the univesre.Indian philosophy showed the way to become face to face with soul.The union with soul makes a person like almighty. The level of thinking and living becomes universal.This height of life shows the hollowness of hatred, discrimination, exploitation and violence in life.
The element of Indian greatness were related to the way of life-the universal style of living. The chain of this greatness was disturbed by the Muslim-rule in India. The centres of knowledge and learning were destroyed. Lacs of books were burned and a way of life completely transformed by the power of sword(violence).Indian lost their way of life and formulas of divine life. Indian were completely destroyed spiritually & intellectually during Muslim-rule.
During the Indian freedom struggle,Swami Dayanand Saraswati, Gangadhar Tilak, Vivekanand and many spiritual leader propagated the idea of Indian greatness.The whole world was forced to see the India with different look.
Still,we-as an Indian-need to see the points of our greatness that were out of sight for long time.
