Hindu Culture

Hindu Culture has evolved over thousands of years. Culture is not civilization for Indians. The three Vedas (Rik, Yajus, Sam) were called Trayividya, the three-fold science. The experiences described therein were real in the most fundamental sense. Perhaps no people in history have been as truthful as the ancient Aryans; and what they have left on record has to be taken seriously and not as the superstitious delusions of an unscientific age. This innate truthfulness has been the most characteristic feature of Hindu culture through the ages. The Purusha was considered potentially divine, and the Supreme Person residing in the body was deemed the recipient of all Yajnas. The culture of the individual consisted in realizing the four-fold objective of this Purusha, i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha.
