Few more to add “If I were asked to define the Hindu creed, I should simply say: Search after truth through non-violent means. A man may not believe in God and still call himself a Hindu. Hinduism is a relentless pursuit after truth... Hinduism is the religion of truth. Truth is God. Denial of God we have known. Denial of truth we have not known.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi I eat love, I breathe love. God's form is love and if you want to find Him, it can only be through love. Always maintain and nurture the love that springs up from within. Don't allow it to get spoiled because when pure love gets frustrated or spoiled, it is worse than death. Love is earned by giving love. It cannot be bought. However, unlike money, the love you earn goes with you at death. ~ Baba Prakashananda "Great compassion penetrates into the marrow of the bone. It is the support of all living beings. Like the love of a parent for an only child, the tenderness of the Compassionate One is all-pervasive." - Nagarjuna You are spiritual beings here for a human experience. ~ Yogi Bhajan Om Namah Shivaya With great respect and love, I honor my heart, my inner teacher. Namaste. ~ Swami Muktananda Prayer is when the mind is one-pointed and man talks to Infinity. Meditation is when the mind becomes totally clean and receptive, and Infinity talks to man. ~ Yogi Bhajan Eat sparingly, breathe deeply, talk kindly, work energetically, bathe thoroughly and have a long life. Cultivate a melting heart, the giving hand, the kindly speech, the life of service, equal vision and impartial attitude. Your life will indeed be blessed. Out of pain comes the philosophy of “Who am I?”; out of suffering comes endurance; out of service a pure, compassionate heart; out of adversity the strength of will; out of faith the final beatitude; and out of meditation oneness with the Infinite. ~ Swami Sivananda It is for love that the whole universe sprang into existence, and it is for the sake of love that it keeps going. ~ Meher Baba “Ahimsa (nonviolence) is the highest duty.” ~ Padma Purana “By not killing any living being, one becomes eligible for salvation.” ~ Manusmriti “Those noble souls who practice meditation and other yogic ways, who are ever careful about all beings, who protect all animals, are the ones who are actually serious about spiritual practices.” ~ Atharva Veda “You must not use your God-given body for killing God’s creatures, whether they are human, animal or whatever.” ~ Yajur Veda “One should be considered dear, even by the animal kingdom.” ~ Atharva Veda
"I have no other wish in this world but to find light and joy and peace through Hinduism" - Mahatma Gandhi "Hinduism tells every one to worship God according to his own Faith or Dharma and so it lives at peace with all the religions" “Hinduism is great for encouraging social peace, because everyone basically believes their suffering in this life is the result of misdeeds in a past one... So Hinduism is the best antidote to Marxism.” ― Shashi Tharoor “The peace of God is with them whose mind and soul are in harmony, who are free from desire and wrath, who know their own soul.” ― Anonymous, The Bhagavad Gita
