India anciently known as Bharath has its spiritual preservations back dated from 3000BCE. Especially, South India's many literature(prose, poems) & arts(music, dance, drama, sculpture) work were imposed in temples they built and in the form of text in palm leaf manuscript which were lost due to natural disastrous (earthquake, sea swallow such as Kumari Kandam, Dwaraka) time to time. Residues were preserved preciously up to date at 21st century they are namely Sastras by Saptarishis & Others (Yoga, Nyaya, Manu or Dharma, Koka or Kama, Artha, Alamkara, Kavya, Sangita, Natya),Tolkappiyam, Upanishads, four Vedas (Rig, Yajur, Sama, Atharva),18 Puranas, three great epics (Ramayana, Mahabhartha, Srimad Bhagavatham), Holy text Bhagavath Gita, Yoga Vasistha (Best counseling book in the world), Naratha Bhakthi Sutras, Saiva Agamas, Thirumurai (Thevaram, Thiruvasagam, Thirumandhiram), Vaishnavism (Thiruvandhadhi, Thiruvaymozhi, Thiruppallandu Thiruppavai), Silappadhikaram, Manimegalai, Civaka Cintamani, Valayapathi, Kundalakesi, Purnanuru, Pattuppattu, Thiruthonda Thogai (Poem praising followers/disciples) ThiruKural, Avai GnanaKural, Vardhaman Charitra and Periya Puranam.

South Indian dynasty kings of Chera, Cholla & Pandiya preserved these creations by the way of Sangam and appraised the poets. Hence there are lot of secrets and surprises for peoples those who work on ancient Mythology, especially into spirituality and divintiy. India is a place where many religions, traces, language of people live from various part of this world, hence it may even be called as Cosmopolitan Country. Its citizens are in search of spirituality for their liberation from rebirth rather than running behind money, wealth, health, desire and prosperity, except some ot them, hence Indians though are huge in populations neither get attracted towards winning a gold medal / a world title nor put hard efforts in building / training their physical body to acheive it, knowing about the inner concsiousness always gets attracted towards mental strength and wants to be psycologically strong. It doesn't mean or compel sanyasa but encourages self discipline and prohibit sins through action, speech & thoughts when entered family life, which means to be in bramhacharya at family life (STAND ALONE IN GROUP) in terms of self principles. That is the reason why Indians prefer only one life partner till death and give time, concentrate on self realization and fulfill their family commitments time to time with responsibility and without any expectation (This is called Karma Yoga). Such a tranditional culture commonly attracts wide range of peoples to live and follow it for liberation.
