Some of the best essays on faith I have ever read.
- Satish Kumar
A major contribution to the vital debate on how we rediscover the numinous and restore the transcendent, to a central place in our thought, our individual lives, our communities and our nation. The papers inform those who are searching for a dialogue to replace the sterile dispute between secularism and organized religion.
-Mark Tully

-Kapila Vatsyayan
Nature will not see herself there as in a mirror, but rather herself transformed into something wonderfully not herself which is yet her won deeper reality.
-Sri Aurobindo
You ought to believe something in life, believe that thing to fervently that you will stand up with it till the end of your days… we have a power, a power as old as the insights of Jesus of Nazareth and as modern as the techniques of Mahatma Gandhi.
-Martin Luther King
Strange is our situation here upon the earth, Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why. Yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose
- Albert Einstein
