BHARAT MAHAN! “If I were to look over the whole world to find out the country most richly endowed with all the wealth, power and beauty thatnature can bestow-in some parts a very paradise on earth - I shouldpoint to India. If I were to asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed the choicest gifts, has most deeplypondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solution ofsome of them which well deserve the attention even of those who have studied Plato and Kant - I should point to India. And if I were to ask myself from what literature we here in Europe, we who havebeen nurtured almost exclusively on the thought of Greeks andRomans, and of one Semitic race, the Jewish, may draw thatcorrective which is most wanted in order to make our inner life more truly human, a life not for this life only, but a transfigured and eternal life -- again I should point to India”. -MAX MULLER S309_Aug06

Mother India isin many ways the mother of us all”. -WILL DURANT S309_Aug06

When I am at it, I feel that I amunder the spangled heavens of a summer night”. -HENRY DAVID THOREAU S309_Aug06
