“It is already clear that a chapter   which had a western beginning will have to have an Indian ending if it is not to end in the self destruction of the human race. At this the only way of salvation for mankind is the Indian ways – Emperor Asoka,  Maharshi Aurobindo , Ramakrishna Pramahamsa  are here as testimony  of harmony of religion. Here  we have a spirit to grow together  into a  family and in the atomic age . this is the only alternative to destroying ourselves - Prof. Amit Goswami  Professor of Physics and great Philosopher (USA) in his book ‘ How consciousness create the material world. The self Aware Universe’

“If all understand one day for one minute that one cannot become great by the mere wish, that he only raises whom. He raises and he falls whom. He brings down, then all trouble is at an end,. But there is that egotism, hollow in itself, and without the power to move a finger; how ludicrous of it to say “ I won’t let anyone rise”  that jealousy , that absence of conjoint action is the very nature of the  enslaved (western ) nations.   India is the only place  where with all its faults, the soul finds its freedom, its god. All this western pomp is only vanity, only bondage of the soul. - Swami Vivekananda
