86. ARE WE HINDUS?
Are we at all grateful to Swami Vivekananda for the seminal work he did in the West of propagating Hinduism? Then how is it that we neglect the study of the same? Can we call ourselves Hindus worth the salt when we remain so ignorant of the essentials principles of our grand spiritual tradition? It is time to reflect on this and not to hide behind pretentious assertions to avoid self-censure.

Written by Sugata Bose

96. The sign of holiness is not in how many converts you make in your lifetime but in the degree you transform yourself spiritually.
