Indian culture is very rich, unique and so is her literature. The greatness of Indian literature and philosophy lie in the fact that they always explore the realm of spirituality that gives the fundamental and intrinsic truth of the creation. On the other hand, west concentrates on the external side of the creation and that is the material aspect of it. The spiritual tradition in literature has been carried on in the mediaeval period like Tulsi, Meera, Kabir, etc., and by some renaissance poets like Rabindranath Tagore and Sri Aurobindo. Many recent poets follow in the footsteps of these poets and keep alive this glorious tradition. Modern Indian colonial mind-set admits the supremacy of the West without realising India's glorious past. The present paper is an attempt to highlight the grandeur and sublimity of Indian poetry and the spiritual wealth it has.
