<br/><br/> In Indian Culture, the poet has precedence over the philosopher and the prophet. Indian Culture has its origins in the hymns of the Rig-Veda. The hymns of Rig-Veda are religious lyrics; they are an adoration and invocation of Nature or the powers of Nature. The poet freely personifies the powers of Nature: "namaste vayo, tvam eva pratyakşam brahmäsi, tvām eva pratyakşam brahma vadisyami: Salutations to thee, O Wind, thou art the visible brahman.
