UPANISHADS ââAhimsa is not causing pain to any living being at any time through the actions of one’s mind, speech or body.â
UPANISHADS ââMeditation is in truth higher than thought. The earth seems to rest in silent meditation; and the waters and the mountains and the sky and the heavens seem all to be in meditation. Whenever a man attains greatness on this earth he has his reward according to his meditation.â
UPANISHADS ââPunarapi Jananam, Punarapi Maranam Punarapi Jananeejathare Sayanam. Man is born again and again and again. Birth is followed by death. Adi Shankara, Bhaja Govindam. Birth and death are two illusory scenes In the drama of this world: Really no one is born, no one dies, No one comes, no one goes, It is Maya’s jugglery, It is play of the mind; Brahman alone exists. There is birth for the body alone, five elements combine to form the body; The Atman is birth less and deathless; Death is casting off the physical sheath. It is like deep sleep; Birth is like waking from sleep;/ Be not afraid of death, 0 Ram! Life is continuous. The flower may fade but the fragrance floats; the body may disintegrate, but the immortal fragrance of the soul Always will remain. Learn to discriminate The Real from the unreal; Think always of the Infinite That is birth less and deathless. Transcend Maya and Moha, Go beyond three Gunas, Give up attachment for the body free yourself from birth and death and merge in the Immortal Essence.â
UPANISHADS ââThat Being, of the size of a thumb, dwells deep within the heart. He is the lord of time, past and future. Having attained him, one fears no more. He, verily, is the immortal Self.â
UPANISHADS ââThe Good Earth So long as the earth preserves her forests and wildlife, man’s progeny will continue to exist. This is the Hindu approach towards the conservation of ecology.â
UPANISHADS ââThe wise man ever studiously avoids Extremes in speech and act, himself; and when Others press to extremes in heated speech, He passes by, in quiet, answering not.â
UPANISHADS ââThere is something beyond our mind which abides in silence. It is the supreme mystery beyond thought. Let one’s mind and one’s subtle body rest upon that, and not rest upon anything else. God is sound and silence. Attain therefore contemplation, contemplation in silence on Him.â
UPANISHADS ââThou art the sheath, the tenement, of God. Abiding-place and treasure-house of Brahma.â
UPANISHADS ââWhere you hesitate between two courses of action, always choose the one which leaves you more alone, more in silence, more in love. Consulate these selves depend on that Self as retainers on their chieftains.â

UTTARADHYAYANA SUTRA ââThe body, they say, is a boat and the soul is the sailor. Samsara is the ocean which is crossed by the great sages.â

UTTARADHYAYANA SUTRA ââThough others sleep, be thou awake. Like a wise man, trust nobody, but be always on the alert; for dangerous is the time and weak, the body. Step carefully in your walk, supposing everything to be a snare. Bestow care on your life till you win the stake. Afterwards, you should despise it, annihilating its sins.â
VACASPATI MISRA ââEven one thousand scriptural statements cannot transform a jar into a piece of cloth.â
VACLAV HAVEL ââHope is not the same as joy when things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously headed for early success. Hope is the ability to work for something to succeed… Hope gives us strength to live and to continually try new things, even in conditions that seem… hopeless.â
VACLAV HAVEL ââWork for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed.â
VAIDYA R K MISHRA ââIn winter digestive levels are high, people feel hungrier, and can actually digest food better, nourishing their bodies more. Winter is the time to build up and nourish all systems â the hair, the nails, and the skin. It’s also the best season for taking herbal products.â

VARANASI CITY GUIDE, EICHER ââShiva is not perfect: He is easy to anger, easier to please, prone to impulsive mistakes.

And to seek his blessings you have to come to his special city â the ever luminous Kashi.â

VAUVENARGUES ââAll men are born truthful, and die liars.â
VED MEHTA ââIndia has an uncanny way of bringing out extremes in people. I suppose because we have been afflicted and enriched by centuries of migrations, moved like a pawn between this ruler and that. Our capacity for a single allegiance has been dulled.

VEDANTA SOCIETY OF NEW YORK ââThe Sanskrit word Vedanta can be split into two separate words, Veda and anta, literally meaning the anta (end) or culmination of the Vedas… Although most Vedic hymns indicate that polyatheism or the practice of worshipping multiple gods and goddesses prevailed in India during the Vedic period, the notion of One God was distinct as well in many hymns… In Vedanta is found a reconciliation of religion with science, of faith, with reason. A Vedantist is a seeker of truth who accepts and respects all religions as paths to the same goal.â
VEDANTIC WISDOM ââThe universe is derived from an ultimate principle of spiritual consciousness, the one and only existent from eternity.

The water you cannot retain/ Will some day hence return as rain, Or be beheld as the purest dew,/ Though long ago it passed through you.â

VIJAY MALLYA ââPower is a very loaded term. It seems to suggest influence and how much influence I have or don’t have is for others to judge. Power is also a very misunderstood term. Being called powerful tends to boost people’s egos. I have no ego. I just do what it takes to make my businesses thrive. If people say Iâm powerful, it’s not going to change my character or my behaviour in any way.â

VIJAY TENDULKAR ââTheatre is possibly the medium I’m most comfortable with. There is, I feel, more respect for a writer’s word there.

Vocalists… they can transcend the word quite easily, get away from its heaviness and achieve the unsaid element in communication…â
VIJAY TENDULKAR ââThere are times when one’s life appears to be a stage. People come, people go. They come in order to go, and go with no intent of return. When they return, they return as one’s past. A past that would make you feel that the present is false.â

And love makes one calmer about many things, and in that way, one is more fit for one’s work.â
