We are visiting a fort after another, powerful in their style, a temple after the other, extremely peaceful with people swarming around like butterflies. The temples won this country its dignity, the forts eventually proved their inefficiency. Gandhi was great in the sense that he conveyed the message to the West; the East was ready for his philosophy.
The simple Namaste, peace be with you, it doesn’t translate as I see you later or I hope to see you soon or bye … it means wherever you go be in peace with yourself (and with others). It is not about the individual relationship of two human beings, it is about the relationship with the universe. According to Indians be happy can only be a common experience and not an individual one. The women feed the cows from their hands and the cows don't try to get more from the pile of grass that is right there, it waits for its fair share ... also the cows know.
