Mahatma Gandhi

„If we are to reach real peace in this world and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we have to begin with children; and if they will grow up in their natural innocence, we won’t have to pass fruitless, idle resolutions, but we shall go from love to love and peace to peace, until at last all the corners of the world are covered with that peace and love for which, consciously or unconsciously, the whole world is hungering.“ Mahatma Gandhi

Hindu Dharmsamrat Paramhans
Sri Swami Madhawananda Puriji

His Holiness Hindu Dharmsamrat Paramhans Sri Swami Madhavananda Puriji is the spiritual successor of Bhagwan Sri Deep Narayan Mahaprabhuji. Following his instruction he built ashrams in Rajasthan and Gujarat in India. He was committed to social issues, but mainly was spreading spiritual and ethic values of the Vedic culture. "People make a big mistake when they consider spiritual science to be less important than technical or medical sciences. In reality, spiritual science is more important. It opens people’s inner eye, by which it is possible to see God. It opens the inner ear, by which it is possible to hear God’s voice. It heals all ailments of the spirit and body. It leads to mutual understanding, harmony, and peace." His Holiness Paramhans Swami Madhavanandaji
