The foundation of Hindu religion has been laid on the pillar of tolerance. It
has revered all the rebels like Buddha, Kabira, Shankaracharya, Chanakya,
Dayanand Saraswati who had opposed the prevalent hypocrisies in their times.
It didn't kill them the way reformers like Jesus, Socrates or Mansoor were...
Then where did this Hindu fanaticism emerge from?... Perhaps in order to make
their businesses survive, it is being propagated by the Hindu religious heads.

I have a problem with people who take the Constitution loosely and the Bible literally.

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?
-Deep Trivedi
Perceiving her son endowed with the characteristics of Vishnu, Devaki prayed: You are the Illuminator of all psycho-physical organisms, the indefinable Reality, which the Vedas declare as the unmanifest cause… When the universe is dissolved by force of Time, the gross elements are ultimately merged in ahankara (their cause)…
-Scriptures "Bhagavata Purana"
Religion is something infinitely simple, ingenuous... In the infinite extent of the universe, it is a direction of the heart.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
Only that, which influences everyone everywhere equally is the blessing of God
like sun, moon, air, water and human life. How could having different scriptures
and diverse beliefs for various religions ever be termed as being religious?
-Deep Trivedi
The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.
-Karl Marx
Anyone who thinks sitting in church can make you a Christian must also think that sitting in a garage can make you a car.
-Garrison Keillor
All the religions of the world may be good and true. But situated as we are, our own religion is the best for us.
