In one of the talk shows with Kiran Bedi, Sadguru had asked the question, what keeps this nation, India together?
He said, it was not religion or language. Unlike other nations it was not the ‘ sameness ‘ in people that kept this nation together, the oldest nation on the planet. He said people here shared the concept of seeking. People were truth seekers and that held them together.
He even talked about renaming the nation from India to Bharat.
Bharat meaning, Bha, ra, ta. Bha means Bhava,Ra means raaga and ta means taala ( meaning rhythm)
It’s the first time I heard something like this. I feel proud of my nation.
