If putting a 'tilak' on the forehead, wearing a holy thread on the wrist, offering

-Deep Trivedi
Hindu religion, where all gods are "kings" meaning the ones who look after the

Christ? The doctors of our mind and life.
-Deep Trivedi
"There is nothing like a vice or a virtue" and it has been said many a times in the
Bhagavad Gita by Krishna himself. Then why do these saints keep frightening
us everyday by reading out the long list of vices?
-Deep Trivedi
Everyone is proud of his caste and religion. Please for once, observe yourself
and the people around you carefully - the pride will disappear by itself. And only
then, embracing the world you will be able to tread the path of progress.
