qualities and philosophies of great people, but are also running their businesses
by linking them to useless miracles.
-Deep Trivedi
I am for religion, against religions.
-Victor Hugo
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
