Ancient Indian Wisdom Spiritual Heritage

The ancient Indian wisdom was the product of natural development of human instinct. Names of God did not matter, variations in spiritual practices did not count, social differences are of no avail, and the methods of worship followed might be different, only the common religious ideal remained. These made the people of ancient India, accept toleration and absorption as fundamental to their wisdom. The ideal is all embracing and non-antagonistic. This led to free religious thought and the foundations of different philosophic system. In addition to the basic eternal religion of the country, the birth of several indigenous religions, like Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism etc., and the respectful place offered to foreign religion like Christianity, Islam etc., in this country and the value they attached to different religions are by itself the proof for tolerance of the Vedic people. Vedic religion is the mother of all religions, which had taught and continued to teach, the world, tolerance and universal acceptance.
