Quotes
In his own words
Philosophy · The Oath of the VayuputrasThe key question isn’t “What is evil?” The key question is “When does the good become evil?”
Spirituality · The Immortals of MeluhaA man becomes a Mahadev only when he fights for good. A Mahadev is not born from his mother’s womb. He is forged in the heat of battle, when he wages a war to destroy evil. Har Har Mahadev — all of us are Mahadev.
Life · The Secret of the NagasThe opposite of love is not hate. Hate is just love gone bad. The actual opposite of love is apathy.
Dharma · The Immortals of MeluhaA person’s ethics and character are not tested in good times. It is only in bad times that a person shows how steadfast he is to his dharma.
History · The Immortals of MeluhaWhether a man is a legend or not is decided by history, not fortune tellers.
Life · The Secret of the NagasNothing is more important than life. Nothing. You realise the simplicity of that point only when you confront death every day.
Philosophy · The Immortals of MeluhaThere are many realities. There are many versions of what may appear obvious. Whatever appears as the unshakeable truth, its exact opposite may also be true in another context.
Philosophy · The Oath of the VayuputrasCreation and destruction are the two ends of the same moment. And everything between the creation and the next destruction is the journey of life.
Dharma · The Secret of the NagasYou don’t live with the consequences of other people’s karma. You live with the consequences of your own.
Philosophy · The Secret of the NagasTruth doesn’t have to be liked. It only has to be spoken. Speak it out. The truth may hurt you, but it will set you free.
