Religion
All the religions of the world may be good and true. But situated as we are, our own religion is the best for us.
-D. S. Sarma

assurances, they have been robbing people by selling rings, holy threads and
religious rites and rituals.
-Deep Trivedi

"Life, the Truth, and Being Free"
Hatred and contempt, be it for a thing or a person, has no place in the 'Hindu'
religion... Whereas these so-called Hindu saints are building number of ashrams
by inculcating the unnecessary feeling of 'sinfulness' in you. What kind of Hindu
are you and what kind of saints are these?
-Deep Trivedi
The world holds two classes of men - intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence.
