“It is in love that religion exists and not in ceremony, in the pure and sincere love in the heart. Unless a man is pure in body and mind, his coming into a temple and worshipping Shiva is useless.”
― Vivekananda, Complete Collection of Swami Vivekananda - 9 Volumes

“There is something utterly unnerving about a snake in the water.”
― Jane Goodall, In the Shadow of Man

“Around the Vishwanath Temple—the temple of the Destroyer—systematic destruction is taking place on a scale the city hasn’t witnessed since the time of Aurangzeb. In the name of beautification”
― Bishwanath Ghosh, Aimless in Banaras: Wanderings in India’s Holiest City

“Love opens the most impossible gates; love is the gate to all the secrets of the universe. Feel, therefore, my would-be reformers, my would-be patriots! Do you feel? Do you feel that millions and millions of the descendants of gods and of sages have become next-door neighbours to brutes? Do you feel that millions are starving today, and millions have been starving for ages? Do you feel that ignorance has come over the land as a dark cloud? Does it make you restless? Does it make you sleepless? Has it gone into your blood, coursing through your veins, becoming consonant with your heartbeats? Has it made you almost mad? Are you seized with that one idea of the misery of ruin, and have you forgotten all about your name, your fame, your wives, your children, your property, even your own bodies? Have you done that? That is the first step to become a patriot, the very first step.”
