Then how can these sannyasins be termed religious?
-Deep Trivedi
God has no religion.

If you think even for a moment, how much valuable resources and precious time
of the world is being eaten up by these so-called religions in exchange of "false

other religious places will be pulled down and many schools and hospitals will
come up instead.
-Deep Trivedi
Perhaps not one religion contains all of the truth of the world. Perhaps every religion contains fragments of the truth, and it is our responsibility to identify those fragments and piece them together.
