Transcendentalists


Transcendentalists 


Transcendentalists talks about Individual’s relation with Nature. What is Nature for you? Share your views.

Nature gives peace. Nature makes mood good and gives positive vibration. In forest the sound of birds , water passing through stream makes happy. Nature helps us to better recover from stress. Nature gives freshness, purity etc.



Transcendentalism is an American Philosophy that influenced American Literature at length. Can you find any Indian/Regional literature or Philosophy came up with such similar thought?

Native American religions are the spiritual practices of the Native Americans in the United States. Ceremonial ways can vary widely and are based on the differing histories and beliefs of individual nations, tribes and bands. It's important to remember that Native Americans do not have one single religion. Instead, there are many different belief systems among peoples. Many of the religions have certain similarities, like a creator. Place and nature are important, as well as sacred, or holy, spaces. Traditional Native American literature includes ancient hieroglyphic and pictographic writings and an extensive set of folktales, myths, and oral histories.

Native Indian Literary works which are written in native languages such as Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit,  Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Oriya by Indians is called as Native literature.
American values are individualism, privacy, equality, liberty, self-government, and time. For example, “They have been trained since very early age in their lives to consider themselves separate individuals who are responsible for their own situations in life and their own destinies”

 Indian beliefs have been associated with compassion and respect for nature and its creations since ages. The religious beliefs of Jain, Vedic and Buddhist traditions in India established the principles of ecological harmony centuries ago.

American culture is not only defined by its fast-paced lifestyle, fashion, and "to-go" coffee cups. It is also the culture of many diversity, different religions, races, and ethnicities. It is a culture that nourishes competition and political correctness, and also tries to enforce the freedom of speech.
Indian culture is the heritage of social norms, ethical values, traditional customs, belief systems, political systems, artifacts and technologies that originated in or are associated with the ethno-linguistically diverse Indian subcontinent.
