Vedanta would be included in the time capsule to represent India's cultural legacy because it is the foundation of Indian spirituality and philosophy. Vedanta comprises ancient Indian scriptures that date back to between 1700-1100 BCE and contain teachings on morality and leading a sustainable life. It complements modern science through similarities between concepts like karma and action/reaction, and connects science to philosophy through its teachings on topics like maya and the non-dual nature of the universe. Vedanta has influenced Indian society by promoting virtues like non-violence and seeing unity among diversity.
