the ancient culture
Over a period of more than 3,000 years—from the time of the settlements in Harappa and Mohenjo Daro to the modern day enlightenment culture—the soil of India was a breeding place for the inner search. But there were also great achievements in the fields of art, architecture, politics, religion, and science.
Starting in 1977, when I first came to India over land, I visited this country many times and lived there altogether for ten years. With great fascination, I explored cities, temples, mountains, ashrams and pilgrimage places.
