The quotes of Sri Aurobindo from the book 'The foundation of Indian culture' is interpreted reflecting the essence in the Indian Temple Architectural design.

3. India has lived richly, splendidly, greatly,
but with a different will in life.

4. Every line, arrangement of
mass, colour, shape, posture,
every physical suggestion
however many, crowded,
opulent they may be, is first
and last a suggestion, a hint,
very of a symbol which in its
main function a support for a
spiritual emotion, idea, image
that again goes beyond itself
to the less definable, but
more powerfully sensible
reality of the spirit which as
excited these movements in
the aesthetic mind and passed
through them into significant
shapes.

5. Life is surely nothing but the creation and
active self-expression of man's spirit, powers,
capacities, his will to be and think and create
and love and do and achieve.

6. India has lived and lived greatly, The idea and
plan of her life have been peculiar to her
temperament, original and unique.

7. The long tradition of her architecture,
sculpture and painting speaks for itself, even in
what survives after all the ruin of stormy
centuries.

8. India ; Her values are not easy to seize for an
outsider and her highest things are castly open to
hostile misrepresentation by the ignorant;
precisely; because they are too high for the
normal untrained mind and apt to shoot beyond
its limits.

9. A divine life in a material world implies necessarily a union of two ends of
existence, the spiritual summit and the material base, it joins the heights and
the depths together. The spirit descents into matter and the material world with
all its lights and glories and powers and with them fills and transforms life in
the material world so that it becomes more and more divine.
Madurai Meenakshi Temple.

10. There are three powers that we must grasp in order to judge the life-value of
a culture.
First, the power of its original conception of life; there is , next, the power of
the forms, types and rhythms it has given to life; there is , last, the inspiration
, the vigour, the force of vital execution of its motives manifested in the
actual lives of men and the community that flourished under its influence.
Indian culture recognises the spirit as the truth of our being and our life as a
growth and evolution of the spirit. It sees the Eternal, the Infinite, the
Supreme, the All; it sees this as the secret highest Self of all, this is what it
calls God, the Permanent, ,the Real, and it sees man as a soul and power of
this being of God in Nature.

40. India;
An attempt to transform human into divine nature could not find its
complete way or its fruit because it synchronised with a decline of the
life-force in India and a lowering of power and knowledge in her
general civilisation and culture.
Nevertheless here lies the destined force of her survival and renewal,
this is the dynamic meaning of her future. This in the end is the mission
for which she was born and the meaning of her existence.
