Scriptural Quotes
Women must be honored and adorned by their fathers, brothers,
husbands and brothers-in-law, who desire their own welfare.
Where women are honored, there the Gods are pleased. But where
they are not honored, no sacred rite yields rewards.
- Manu Dharma Shastras 3.55-56
All these visibles and invisibles, movables and immovables, are
pervaded by Me. All the worlds existing in the tattvas from
Shakti to prithivi (earth) exist in Me. Whatever is heard or
seen, internally or externally, is pervaded by Me.
- Sarvajnanottara Agama 2.9-11
There are five great sacrifices, namely, the great ritual
services: the sacrifice to all beings, sacrifice to men,
sacrifice to the ancestors, sacrifice to the Gods, sacrifice to
Brahman.
- Shukla Yajur Veda, Shatapatha Brahmana 11.5.6.1
You always criticize the women, but say, what have you done for
their upliftment? Writing down smritis etc., and binding them
by hard rules, the men have turned the women into mere
manufacturing machines! They have all the time been trained in
helplessness, servile dependence on others.
- Swami Vivekananda
The Lord, God, all-pervading and omnipresent, dwells in the
heart of all beings. Full of grace, He ultimately gives
liberation to all creatures by turning their faces toward
Himself.
- Krishna Yajur Veda, Svetasvatara Upanishad 3.11
All the world may well attain the bliss I have-who hold firmly
to the heavenly secret the books impart, who chant the hymns
that thrill the flesh and swell the heart. Strive, always
strive, then it will come.
- Rishi Tirumular, Tirumantiram 85
Unite, O Lord, this couple like a pair of lovebirds. May they
surrounded by children be, living both long and happily.
- Atharva Veda 14.2.64
May Mitra, Varuna and Aryaman grant us freedom and space enough
for us and for our children! May we find pleasant pathways,
good to travel! Preserve us evermore, O Gods, with blessings!
- Rig Veda Samhita 7.63.6
Oh tree, You bear fruits, leaves and flowers and protect people
from scorching sun. You surrender yourself for others. You are
guru of all kind people!
- Bhamini Vilasa
When he knows the atman-the Self, the inner life, who enjoys
like a bee the sweetness of the flowers of the senses, the Lord
of what was and of what will be-then he goes beyond fear. This,
in truth, is That.
- Krishna Yajur Veda, Katha Upanishad 4.5
