Narada Bhakti Sutras (2001)
Contexto: A million words cannot express what a glance can convey, and a million glances cannot express what a moment of silence can. A moment of silence conveys so much more than any other expression. Still, love is beyond silence too. You can describe silence to some extent, but that which is beyond silence cannot be expressed. You give, you hug... but still something remains unexpressed.

“Charity should be self-sustainable.”
Interview with Forbes Magazine (2009)

The Hindustan Times (Nov., 2009)
Contexto: Pluralism and embracing people of all cultures should be part of our education. The multicultural, multi-religious fabric are the glory and beauty of the planet.

We need to bring about that multi-cultural and multi-ethnic approach, which in Sanskrit we call Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (The whole world is one family.)
Through right education, we can change and unite the hearts and minds of people. The key is to harness the ancient wisdom and being innovative with the modern. We, as global citizens, should vow to take this responsibility.
“All that is needed to make life harmonious, palatable, blissful – is called the Art of Living.”
Public Talk, Budapest, Hungary (June 2009)

Similarly, the various aspects of life have to be tuned. Our relationship with our Self, the people in our family, in the work-place, in society – all these need to be tuned.
The nurturing of the physical, social and spiritual aspects is called the Art of Living.
“Mind without agitation is meditation. Mind in the present moment is meditation.”
