Description:


A spiritual genius of commanding intellect and power, Vivekananda crammed immense labor and achievement into his short life, 1863-1902. Born in the Datta family of Kolkata, the youthful Vivekananda embraced the agnostic philosophies of the Western mind along with the worship of science. (Reference)

Swami Vivekanand's Quotes:


When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state. 


Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true. 

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul. 


All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything. 

All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark. 

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them. 

External nature is only internal nature writ large.

Don't look back—forward, infinite energy, infinite enthusiasm, infinite daring, and infinite patience—then alone can great deeds be accomplished

Stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny. All the strength and succor you want is within yourselves. Therefore, make your own future.


Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin; to say that you are weak, or others are weak.

Theme Description:

Sai Baba of Shirdi (September 28, 1838 – October 15, 1918), also known as Shirdi Sai Baba was an Indian guru, yogi, and fakir who is regarded by his Hindu and Muslim devotees as a saint. Many Hindu devotees – including Hemadpant, who wrote the famous Shri Sai Satcharitra – consider him an incarnation of Lord Krishna while other devotees consider him as an incarnation of Lord Dattatreya.Saivites or worshipers of Lord Shiva consider Shirdi Sai, a formest siva-natha (Saivite Saint), or a Saint who has earned the most benevolent and auspicious grace of Lord Shiva the great god head of the holy trinity in Hinduism. Many devotees believe that he was a Satguru, an enlightened Sufi Pir, or a Qutub. No verifiable information is available regarding Sai Baba's birth and place of birth,

Sai Baba's real name is unknown. The name "Sai" was given to him upon his arrival at Shirdi, a town in the west-Indian state of Maharashtra. Mahalsapati, a local temple priest, recognized him as a Muslim saint and greeted him with the words 'Ya Sai!', meaning 'Welcome Sai!'. Sai orSayi is a Persian title given to Sufi saints, meaning 'poor one' However Sāī may also refer to the Sanskrit term "Sakshat Eshwar" or thedivine. The honorific "Baba" means "father; grandfather; old man; sir" in Indo-Aryan languages. Thus Sai Baba denotes "holy father", "saintly father" or "poor old man" (Reference)

Sai Baba's Quotes:


All action results from thought, so it is thoughts that matter. 

Man learns through experience, and the spiritual path is full of different kinds of experiences. He will encounter many difficulties and obstacles, and they are the very experiences he needs to 
encourage and complete the cleansing process. 

The life ahead can only be glorious if you learn to live in total harmony with the Lord. 

Man seeks to change the foods available in nature to suit his tastes, thereby putting an end to the very essence of life contained in them.

Do not be misled by what you see around you, or be influenced by what you see. You live in a world which is a playground of illusion, full of false paths, false values and false ideals. But you are not part of that world. 

What matters is to live in the present, live now, for every moment is now. It is your thoughts and acts of the moment that create your future. The outline of your future path already exists, for you created its pattern by your past. 

Let love flow so that it cleanses the world. Then man can live in peace, instead of the state of turmoil he has created through his past ways of life, with all those material interests and earthly ambitions.

Theme Description:

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, commonly known as Mahatma Gandhi, was the preeminent leader of Indian nationalism in British-ruled India. Employing non-violent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for non-violence, civil rights and freedom across the world. (reference)

Mahatma Gandhi's Quotes:


It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.

It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence. 

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony

Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding. 

Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth. 

An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. 

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

Quotes:

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. 
Confucius 

A beauty is a woman you notice; a charmer is one who notices you. 
Adlai E. Stevenson 

All beautiful things may not be good, but good things are always beautiful.

You can see beauty in everything, if you want because it is in your heart.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman rows with the passing years.
