Quotations
Religion
Perceiving her son endowed with the characteristics of Vishnu, Devaki prayed: You are the Illuminator of all psycho-physical organisms, the indefinable Reality, which the Vedas declare as the unmanifest cause… When the universe is dissolved by force of Time, the gross elements are ultimately merged in ahankara (their cause)…
-Scriptures "Bhagavata Purana"
In religion and politics people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand
-Mark Twain "Mark Twain"
We are quite bizarre ourselves, so are our religious heads too. Merely to satiate
our pride we visit them to listen to good things about our religion and they being
clever take undue advantage of it, pander to our ego and continue to prosper.
This blinds us so much that we stop seeing the negativities of our religion and
positive aspects of other religions. You cannot even imagine what a great loss it
is for you.
-Deep Trivedi

Hatred and contempt, be it for a thing or a person, has no place in the 'Hindu'
religion... Whereas these so-called Hindu saints are building number of ashrams

are you and what kind of saints are these?
-Deep Trivedi
I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

God has no religion.
