We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.
- Jawaharlal Nehru
I have not broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine.

Do not extinguish the lamp of Divine Grace and do not let the candle of wisdom die out in the darkness of lust and error.
- Kahlil Gibran
Linking karma with physical acts is the lowest level of intelligence. This
encompasses all the acts right from fasting to rigorous toiling. A wise being links
karma with intent. Pure intent is in itself a good karma. But a supremely intelligent
being views "karma" in the light of its result. Whatever is the final outcome of
your action, is indeed your "true intent".
- Deep Trivedi
Fasting in the monastic community is considered an ascetic practice, a “dhutanga” practice. Dhutanga means “to shake up” or “invigoration”. The Buddha, as is well known, emphasized moderation, the Middle Way that avoids extremes, in all things. Fasting is an additional method that one can take up, with supervision, for a time.
- A Spiritual Leader
Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.
- Jean Cocteau
If you think even for a moment, how much valuable resources and precious time
of the world is being eaten up by these so-called religions in exchange of "false
hopes"; then today itself the shutters of all the temples, mosques, churches and
other religious places will be pulled down and many schools and hospitals will
come up instead.
- Deep Trivedi
