“Once you start seeing Paramatma (Supreme Soul) in everyone, even those who try to harm you end up helping you.”
― Shunya

“When the gods and demons were fighting, Mahadeva didn’t say that gods are right and demons are wrong. A neutral and unprejudiced power was established in the form of Shani Deva We all have our prejudices. If Mahadeva didn’t judge, who are we to judge others?”
― Shunya

“Logic is like a mouse. It can cut through anything. Ganesha is the Lord of inward logic (Vitarka). Seekers on the path of knowledge must use the mouse to cut through their own illusion (like sages) instead of trying to cut through the universe (like western scientists).”
― Shunya

“Arjuna quotes old scriptures to support his conclusions and his “Iâ€�. Krishna had to say Geeta to dissolve his “Iâ€� so that he could just be an instrument. Now people quote Geeta to support their conclusions and their “Iâ€�.”
― Shunya

“Krishna’s maternal uncle Kansa is a symbol of society that starts conditioning your mind as soon as you take birth. You have been born and brought up in the prison of society. Krishna’s parents were imprisoned but they made sure that Krishna was brought up in freedom where he could discover His real self.”
― Shunya

“A thing of beauty is said to last forever, unless it begins to speak. Mati thanked the Storm God that her Lamb had not proposed marriage. Nothing ruins an affair more than an effort to make it last.”
― Gourav Mohanty, Sons of Darkness

“Family is not always right. Mahabharata happened because Dhritarashtr was blind to his son’s misdeeds and all four younger Pandavas blindly supported their eldest brother who gambled.


When it comes to family, we are all blind because our body-mind are indebted to them for life. We can’t run away from that debt. But the soul can insulate itself from their bad Karma just by being aware of this blindness.”
― Shunya

“Those who were disrobing Draupadi also thought that they were doing everything within the rules. They were also taking the moral high ground by labelling her as “characterlessâ€�.

You can’t decide who is right or wrong, moral or immoral. Leave it on Karma. And watch out for your Karma because cheering at public punishment of a “criminalâ€� is medieval, animalistic and very bad Karma.”
― Shunya

“I have some ideas,â€� Krishna said with a twinkle in his eyes that arsonists might have when lighting a torch near a fireworks shop.”
― Gourav Mohanty, Sons of Darkness

“Karna himself was dressed in passably aristocratic style in a caramel-brown knee-length coat that he was sweating in. A mark of a fraud, for the truly rich never sweat.”
― Gourav Mohanty, Sons of Darkness

“You see, that's the thing with conquerors, they cannot stop conquering, for then they would have to start ruling, and my guess is Jarasandh isn't as good a ruler as he is a conqueror.”
― Gourav Mohanty, Sons of Darkness

“Once upon a time, the gods took away the first ancestor of the sea elephants, coveting him for his exceptional beautyâ€� tusks blue, body ivory.
The trauma of that original separation haunts every sea elephant thereafter and even when they sing, their songs contain five notes or fewer, the full octave missing from their music.”
― Shastri Akella, The Sea Elephants

“The real cost
Of Kurukshetra

Was the moment
When you disappeared
Over the horizon
At the end of our universe

That moment
When you looked back
And couldn't see me
When I strained my eyes
But couldn't see you

The monumental
Incalculable
Cost
Of war
Was an empty horizon.

It always has been,
Krishna.”
― Leena Saldanha, Radha

“Ashianaâ€� has no one ever told you?â€� He reached out to tilt her chin up, his touch as gentle as his voice. “I am not teasing when I call you sundar. Your eyes are the color of ocean waves in the morning sun. Your skin is like the silk the Hindus call ‘the white of the clouds when the rain is spent.â€� And the rest of you…â€� His voice deepened. “â€� is delicate and feminine and perfect.”
― Shelly Thacker, One Night with a Scoundrel

“Decisions are hard.But the biggest one is deciding what to do with the time that is given to us.”
― Roshani Chokshi, Aru Shah and the Song of Death

“He's making a terrible mistake....
And you will hate him for his love.”
― Roshani Chokshi, Aru Shah and the Tree of Wishes

“And that is why, to Karna, this errand of charming Mardin to give up his seat had sounded much like convincing a man to give up his wife. He knew it had been done before, but he had absolutely no idea what words to use to achieve this result.”
― Gourav Mohanty, Sons of Darkness

“The obsessive passion of Pururava for Urvashi that led to his downfall would become manifest generations later in Shantanu, not once but twice, first in his love for Ganga and then his love for Satyavati, with the same disastrous consequences. Because human memory is short, and history always repeats itself.”
― Devdutt Pattanaik, Jaya
