India has been known to other nation as a land of wealth and philosophic wisdom. Indian culture is based on the ancient Vedic Teachings of spiritualism. Indian culture in its long career has experimented with life in its diverse aspects and levels. It has not neglected any of the values of life, but it has concentrated more in the field of Philoshophy and Religion. Politics, Economic, Art, Science, Mathematics, Astrology, Ayurveda, Music etc. all these have been enriched by itscontributions; But its greatest and most unique contribution is in the wide area of Religion and Philosophy. “Culture means the total accumulation of material objects, ideas, symbols, beliefs, sentiments values and social forms which are passed on from one generation to another in any given society”. (Quoted in the article on “the future for traditional cultures” by Prof. K.A. Nilkanta Sastri in the Unesco Chronicle for May 1959) The teachings of the “Gita” presents recorded evidence of ancient Indian culture and civilization. In “Shreematbhagvad-gita” Sri Krishna says that one who possesses knowledge and humility is a perfect person. Honesty, generousity, non- violence, knowledge, truthfulness, self-restraint - all are the essential qualities of a truly cultured person. The elements and behaviours that make the community life more decent and worthy, build up the foundation of culture. The “Gita” which is the part of the Mahabharata contains the essence of all the Upanisads. It is said-सर्वोपनिषदो गावो दोग्धा गोपाल नन्दनः ।
पार्थो वत्सः सुधी भोर्क्ता दूग्धम गीता अमृतं महत्ष्।।
....गीता महात्म्य।
