“In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad-Gita”

- Henry David Thoreau

“When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous.” - Albert Einstein

“I find a solace in the Bhagavad-Gita that I miss even in the Sermon on the Mount. When disappointment stares me in the face and all alone I see not one ray of light, I go back to the Bhagavad-Gita.” – Gandhiji

“The secret of karma yoga which is to perform actions without any fugitive desires is taught by Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad-Gita.” - Swami Vivekananda

“I owed a magnificent day to the Bhagavat-Gita. It was the first of books; it was as if an empire spoke to us….” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Inspired by Rev. “Dada”, a family of millions

Dr. Betty Unterberger :

Swadhyay is devoid of any religious or sectarian boundaries and limitations. Rev Dadaji has imbibed in himself the knowledge of Indian culture and modern science, technology and philosophy. What we have understood of Rev. Dada and Rev. Dada's work, it gives feeling of touching only the tip of an iceberg

Mr. Bashar Muvier Salih (Public Relation Manager in Behrin) : Brotherhood amongst mankind is the fundamental principle of "Koran". Allah is almighty, by whatever name one may call. I would not have invited Rev. Dadaji to Behrin if there was no similarity between Rev. Dadaji's and Islam's preaching. Mainly, he spoke before Muslim community and people welcomed his Philosophy.
