4. Part 1
Top 10 Quotations on Hinduism from Dr. Radhakrishnan
1. "Hinduism is not just a faith. It is the union of reason and intuition that cannot be defined but is only to
be experienced. Evil and error are not ultimate. There is no Hell, for that means there is a place where
God is not, and there are sins which exceed his love."
2. "Hinduism has come to be a tapestry of the most variegated tissues and almost endless diversity of
hues."
3. "Hinduism is … not a definite dogmatic creed, but a vast, complex, but subtly unified mass of spiritual
thought and realization. Its tradition of the God ward endeavor of the human spirit has been
continuously enlarging through the ages."
4. "Hinduism is wholly free from the strange obsession of some faiths that the acceptance of a particular
religious metaphysics is necessary for salvation, and non-acceptance thereof is a heinous sin meriting
eternal punishment in hell."
5. "Hinduism is not bound up with a creed or a book, a prophet or a founder, but is persistent search for
truth on the basis of a continuously renewed experience. Hinduism is human thought about God in
continuous evolution."

5. Part 2
6. "Hinduism is an inheritance of thought and aspiration, living and moving with the movement of life
itself."
7. "In the history of the world, Hinduism is the only religion that exhibits a complete independence and
freedom of the human mind, its full confidence in its own powers. Hinduism is freedom, especially the
freedom in thinking about God."
8. "A large part of the world received its religious education from India … In spite of continuous struggle
with theological baggage, India has held fast for centuries to the ideals of spirit."
9. "From the time of the Rig Veda till today, India has been the home of different religions and the Indian
genius adopted a policy of live and let live towards them. Indian religion never quite understood the idea
of exclusive worship. Indian religious tradition admits all forms in which the single truth is reflected.
Proselytism is discouraged. It is not God that is worshipped but the group or the authority that claims to
speak in his name."
10. "The truth suggested in the Vedas are developed in the Upanishads. We find in the seers of the
Upanishads, an utter fidelity to every layer and shade of truth as they saw it. They affirm that there is a
central reality, the one without a second, who is all that is and beyond all that is."

6. Mahatma Gandhiji in one of his top 10 Fundamentals for
changing the world stated:
“Without action you are not going anywhere.”;
“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."

9. PM Narendra Modi:
"Once we decide we have to do
something, we can go miles ahead."
"Mind is never a problem. Mindset is."

S= Specific,
M=Measurable,
A=Attainable,
R=Realistic, and
T=Time-Sensitive.
G=Give Free,
O=Operation Excellence,
A=All Subject (for All participants),

12. विद्या नाम नरस्य रूपमधिकं प्रच्छन्नगुप्तं िनं
विद्या भोगकरी यश:सुखकरी विद्या गुरूणां गुरु:।
विद्या बन्िुजनो विदेशगमने विद्या परं दैितं
विद्या राजसु पूजजता न तु िनं विद्या विहीन: पशु:।।
- नीततशतक, भततृहरर
विद्या ही मनुष्य का सिोत्तम रूप तथा गुप्त िन है। विद्या ही भोग्य पदाथों को देती है; यश और सुख को देने
िाली तथा गुरुओं की भी गुरु है। विद्या ही विदेश में बन्िुजनों की भााँतत सुख-दु:ख में सहायक होती है और
यही भाग्य है। राजाओं के द्िारा विद्या की ही पूजा होती है, िन की नहीं। अत: विद्या से हीन पुरुष पशु के
समान है। तात्पयृ यह है कक विद्या अिश्य प्राप्त करनी चाहहए।।
'Knowledge' is the name of that which enhances the beauty of man; it is his hidden
stash of treasure; knowledge brings him name, fame and happiness; knowledge is the
teacher of all teachers; knowledge is his kith and kin when on foreign land; knowledge is
God itself; knowledge is worshiped amongst kings, not money; one without vidhya
(knowledge) is equivalent to an animal.

14. यथा काष्ठमयो हस्ती यथा चमममयो मगः
पुमान्यश्चानधीयान त्रयस्ते नाम िभ्रतित
- मनुस्मगित
Just as an elephant made of wood, a deer
made of leather, is a man who is not learned.
These 3 are for name sake only.

15. न चोर हायं न च राज हायं न भात्रू भाज्यं न च भारकारर |
व्ययं कत ते ििृत एि तनत्यं विद्यािनं सिृिनप्रिानम ||
Cannot be snatched away by a thief, cannot be
snatched away by the king, cannot be divided
among brothers, nor it is heavy.
If spent daily, it always keeps growing.
The wealth of knowledge is the precious of wealth of all

16. ताराणाां भूशणां चन्रॉ नारीणाां भूशणां पित: |
प्रुथथव्या भूशणां राजा विद्या सिमस्य भूशणां ||

17. विद्ित्िं च न्रुपत्िं च नैि तुल्यम ् कदाचन |
स्िदॆशे पॉज्यते राजा विद्िान् सिृत्र पॉज्यते ||
Knowledge and Royalty cannot be weighed
together
King is worshiped in his own land where as a
leaned man is worshiped everywhere

18. विद्या ददातत विनयं विनयाद्यातत पात्रतं |
पात्रत्िाद्दनमाप्नॊतत िनाद्िमृम् तत: सुखं ||
Knowledge imparts modesty.Through humbleness comes
eligibility. Once eligible comes wealth. Wealth can be utilized to
perform good deeds (dharma). Good deeds lead to happiness
सरस्ितत नमस्तुभ्यं िरदे कामरूवपणण ।
विद्यारम्भं कररष्यामम मसद्धिभृितु मे सदा ॥

19. नाजस्त विद्यासमो बन्िुुः नाजस्त विद्यासमुः सहृत् ।
नाजस्त विद्यासमं वित्तम ् नाजस्त विद्यासमं सुखम ् ॥
There is no relative equivalent to knowledge, there is
no friend equivalent to knowledge
There is no wealth equivalent to knowledge, there is
no happiness equivalent to knowledge

20. कामधेनुःुणा विद्या ह्यकाले फलदाियनी ।
प्रिासे मातगसदृशी विद्या ःुप्तां धनां स्मगतम् ॥
Knowledge has characterisitc like "Kamadhenu" which

alone. The whole universe is
friendly to us and conspires
only to give the best to those
who dream and work."
"You have to dream before
your dreams can come true."

24. Steve Jobs
"Your time is limited, don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which
is living the result of other peoples thinking. Don't let the noise of other opinions drown your
own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they
somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the
square holes… The ones who see things differently they're not fond of rules… You can quote
them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you cant do is ignore them
because they change things… They push the human race forward, and while some may see
them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that
they can change the world, are the ones who do."

25. Messi
"I start early, and I stay late, day after day, year after year, it took me 17 years
and 114 days to become an overnight success."
"I have many years to get better and better, and that has to be my ambition.
The day you think there are no improvements to be made is a sad one for any
player."
