If putting a 'tilak' on the forehead, wearing a holy thread on the wrist, offering

attain 'Dharma - the religion', the ultimate height of the world, then nothing is
cheaper than religion.
-Deep Trivedi

Myth is what we call other people's religion.
-Joseph Campbell

shutters ever be pulled down?

Everyone is proud of his caste and religion. Please for once, observe yourself
and the people around you carefully - the pride will disappear by itself. And only
