India was created on the values of the Vedas, which have been followed by generation after generation, Mr Bhagwat said.
India needs to nurture the knowledge of the Vedas and the ancient language of Sanskrit to become a 'vishwa guru', Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Sunday.
He said Indian culture was not orthodox but changed with time and was not one that told us "what to eat and what not to eat".
India was created on the values of the Vedas, which have been followed by generation after generation, Mr Bhagwat said at the 'Ved Sanskrit Gyan Gaurav Samarambh' event organised by Shree Bhagwan Yagyavalkya Vedtatvagyan Yogashram Trust in Mudeti village in Sabarkantha.
"Therefore, today's India has to grow but not to become a superpower like America, China and Russia that wield power. We have to become a country which can offer answers to the problems plaguing the world today. We have to become a country which can show the world the path of peace, love and prosperity through right conduct," Mr Bhagwat said.
