He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.

The Hindu world has always accepted 'religion' in its totality; as their 'God' who is free from all attachments has not denied anything, right from wine to dance and violence for the destruction of evil to the worldly life… Then on what grounds, these proprietors of Hindu religion term the 'life fancier' people (the ones indulging in pleasures of life) as sinners and themselves religious?

Democracy: The state of affairs in which you consent to having your pocket picked, and elect the best man to do it.
-Benjamin Lichtenberg
People who have become historical figures are the ones, who have done
something new. Then let that innovation be in the field of science, religion,
business, music, literature or even movie-making. The matter worth thinking
about is; is there anything new, in all that we are being offered in the name of
'religion and education' or are we just blindly swallowing it up?
-Deep Trivedi
No matter however dreadful a form the problem manifests itself in, it surely has
some or the other definite solution in time or space. All that you need to do is,
without panicking, reflect upon it from the depths of your mind.
-Deep Trivedi
Music, when combined with a pleasurable idea, is poetry; Music, without the idea, is simply music; the idea, without the music, is prose, from its very definitiveness.
-Edgar Allan Poe
For him who has completed the journey, for him who is sorrowless, for him who from everything is wholly free, for him who has destroyed all ties, the fever of passion exists not… He is like a pool, unsullied by mud; to such a balanced one, life’s wanderings do not arise. Calm is his mind, calm is his speech, calm is his action, who, rightly knowing, is wholly freed, perfectly peaceful and equipoised.
-Dhammapada
I wish to make a special appeal to mothers to take up the sacred responsibility of keeping the lamp of sangita (music) burning bright in their homes and to instill a love for good music in their children from a tender age.
-M. S. Subbulakshmi
