    Plato
    “...and when one of them meets the other half, the actual half of himself, whether he be a lover of youth or a lover of another sort, the pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy and one will not be out of the other's sight, as I may say, even for a moment...”
    Plato, The Symposium

  • #2
    Dianna Hardy
    “A bond between souls is ancient - older than the planet.”
    Dianna Hardy, The Witching Pen

  • #3
    Ramakrishna
    “One man may read the Bhagavata by the light of a lamp, and another may commit a forgery by that very light; but the lamp is unaffected. The sun sheds its light on the wicked as well as on the virtuous.”
    Sri Ramakrishna, The Gospel of Ramakrishna

  • #4
    Ramakrishna
    “You speak of doing good to the world. Is the world such a small thing? And who are you, pray, to do good to the world? First realise God, see Him by means of spiritual discipline. If He imparts power you can do good to others; otherwise not.”
    Sri Ramakrishna, The Gospel of Ramakrishna

  • #5
    Vivekananda
    “Desire can be eradicated from the roots by firmly imbibing the four attributes of: Jnan, Atmanishtha, Vairagya, Dharma and the full fledged devotion to God.”
    Swami Vivekananda

  • #6
    “Never praise oneself.”
    Bhagwan Swaminarayan

  • #7
    Stephen Mitchell
    “Whatever thought grips the mind at the time of death is the one which will propel it and decide for it the nature of its future birth. Thus if one wants to attain god after death, one has to think of him steadfastly... This is not as simple as it sounds, for at the time of death the mind automatically flies to the thought of an object (i.e. money, love) which has possessed it during its sojourn in the world. Thus one must think of god constantly.”
    Stephen Mitchell

  • #8
    Ramakrishna
    “How dare you talk of helping the world? God alone can do that. First you must be made free from all sense of self; then the Divine Mother will give you a task to do.”
    Ramakrishna, The Man Who Quit Money

  • #9
    “In medieval India, the Hindu Vaishnava system of bhakti-yoga (devotional yoga) developed highly sophisticated categories of relation (rasa) to God, including santa (awe and reverence), vatsalya (parental attitude toward God), dasya (servant of God), sakhya (being friends and playmates with God), and madburya (passionate, romantic love).”
    Siobhan Houston, Invoking Mary Magdalene: Accessing the Wisdom of the Divine Feminine

  • #10
    Abhijit Naskar
    “A Christian must worship the Self as Christ, not Christ as Christ. A Muslim must worship the Self as Mohammed, not Mohammed as Mohammed. A Hindu must worship the Self as Krishna, not Krishna as Krishna.”
    Abhijit Naskar

  • #11
    Abhijit Naskar
    “A Christian sits in his or her well and thinks that the whole world is his or her well. The Jew sits in his or her little well and thinks that it is the whole world. A Muslim sits cooped up in his or her tiny well and believes it to be the whole universe. The same goes for a Hindu and all others. Also, atheists are no different from all those orthodox believers.”
    Abhijit Naskar

  • #12
    Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
    “Be aware of me always, adore me, make every act an offering to me, and you shall come to me; this I promise; for you are dear to me.”
    Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita

  • #13
    Abhijit Naskar
    “Just like love becomes consummated upon the attainment of orgasm, all the faith and divinity in the world reach their ultimate existential potential upon the attainment of Absolute Unitary Qualia or simply Absolute Godliness.”
    Abhijit Naskar, Love, God & Neurons: Memoir of a scientist who found himself by getting lost

  • #14
    Alan W. Watts
    “When you find out that there was never anything in the dark side to be afraid of � Nothing is left but to love.”
    Alan Watts

  • #15
  • #16
    Periyar
    “Foreigners are sending messages to the planets. We are sending rice and cereals to our dead fore-father through the Brahmins. It is a wise deed?”
    Periyar E.V. Ramasamy

  • #17
    Banani Ray
    “Om was there in the existence, when no religion was formed or founded. It will be there in the existence, if all the religions are demolished.”
    Banani Ray, Glory of OM: A Journey to Self-Realization

  • #18
    “This Self is never born, nor does It die. It did not spring from anything, nor did anything spring from It. This Ancient One is unborn, eternal, everlasting. It is not slain even though the body is slain.”
    The Upanishads

  • #19
    “Let not the wise disturb the mind of the unwise in their selfish work. Let him, working with devotion, show them the joy of good work.”
    Anonymous

  • #20
    Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
    “Pleasure from the senses seems like nectar at first, but it is bitter as poison in the end.”
    Krishna , The Mahabharata

  • #21
    Nandhiji
    “To a realized master, death and rebirth is in every breath. Death is that of body consciousness, ego and limits of the mind. Rebirth is that of the cosmic mind of being the Spirit. In this realization is liberation.

    When awake as liberated, each prayer and each moment of meditation is for humanity as there is no more individual ego or identity left. Such realized masters continually gift humanity with the grace of higher consciousness- so that each of us attain our fullest potential in goodness.”
    Nandhi Tapasyogi, Mastery of Consciousness: Awaken the Inner Prophet: Liberate Yourself with Yogic Wisdom.

  • #22
    Periyar
    “I want to say a word to the Brahmins: In the name of God, religion, sastras you have duped us. We were the ruling people. Stop this life of cheating us from this year. Give room for rationalism and humanism.”
    Periyar E.V. Ramasamy

  • #23
    “As a caterpillar, having come to the end of one blade of grass, draws itself together and reaches out for the next, so the Self, having come to the end of one life and dispelled all ignorance, gathers in his faculties and reaches out from the old body to a new”
    Anonymous

  • #24
    Mahendra Jakhar
    “Policemen are often confronted with situations which baffle them at first. A certain crime scene may seem meaningless, but they have to derive some meaning out of it. They have to connect the dots, find the links, delve into its history, look for evidence, come up with a zillion theories and arrive at truth. The thing is, truth is always stranger than fiction.”
    Mahendra Jakhar, The Butcher of Benares

  • #25
    David Godman
    “In Hindu parlance he had 'realised the Self'; that is to say, he had realised by direct experience that nothing existed apart from an indivisible and universal consciousness which was experienced in its unmanifest form as beingness or awareness and in its manifest form as the appearance of the universe.”
    David Godman

  • #26
    Vivekananda
    “You must worship the Self in Krishna, not Krishna as Krishna.”
    Swami Vivekananda

  • #27
    Ruskin Bond
    “Hinduism comes closest to being a nature religion. Rivers, rocks, trees, plants, animals, and birds all play their part, both in mythology and everyday worship. This harmony is most evident in remote places like this, and I hope it does not loose its unique character in the ruthless urban advance.”
    Ruskin Bond, Rain in the Mountains: Notes from the Himalayas

  • #28
    “You are what you believe in. You become that which you believe you can become”
    Bhagavad Gita

  • #29
    Peter Matthiessen
    “Today most scientists would agree with the ancient Hindus that nothing exists or is destroyed, things merely change shape or form…the cosmic radiation that is thought to come from the explosion of creation strikes the earth with equal intensity from all directions, which suggests either that the earth is at the center of the universe, as in our innocence we once supposed, or that the known universe has no center.”
    Peter Matthiessen, The Snow Leopard

  • #30
    “As Sri Krishna says, And when he sees me in all and sees all in me, then I never leave him and he never leaves me. And he, who in this oneness of love loves me in whatever he sees, wherever this man may live, in truth, he lives in me...”
    Vanamali, Hanuman: The Devotion and Power of the Monkey God
