Albert Einstein (1897 1955)We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.

When I read The Bhagavad Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous.

Dalai Lama (b-1935)Hindus & Buddhists, we are two sons of the same Mother.

Hu Shih (1891 1962)former ambassador of China to USAIndia conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border.

J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904 1967)The father of Atomic BombAccess to the Vedas is the greatest privilege this century may claim over all previous centuries.

Dr. Arnold Joseph Toynbee (1889 1975)British HistorianIt is already becoming clear that a chapter which had a western beginning will have to have an Indian ending, if it is not to end in the self-destruction of the human race. At this supremely dangerous moment in human history, the only way of salvation for mankind is the Indian Way.

Will Durant (1885 - 1981)American HistorianIndia was the Mother-Land of our race, Sanskrit was the mother of European languages; she was the mother of our philosophy; mother, through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics; mother through the Buddha, of the ideas embodied in Christianity; mother through the village community, of self-government & democracy.

Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all.

Prof. Max Muller (1823 1900)If I were to look over the whole world to find out the country most richly endowed with all the wealth, power & beauty that nature can bestow, in some parts a very paradise on Earth, I should point to India.

If I were ask under what sky the human mind has most developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life & has found solutions, I should point to India.

George Harrison (1943 2001)BeatlesHere everybody is vibrating on a material level, which is nowhere. Over there [India], they have this great feeling of something else thats just spiritual going on.

George Bernard Shaw (1856 1950)Irish Dramatist, Literary Critic, Socialist SpokesmanThe Indian way of life provides the vision of the natural real way of life. We veil ourselves with unnatural masks. On the face of India are the tender expressions which carry the mark of the Creators Hand!

If there is a country on earth which can justly claim the honor of having been the cradle of the Human Race or at least the scene of primitive civilization, the successive developments of which carried into all parts of the ancient world & even beyond, the blessings of knowledge which is the second life of man, that country is assuredly India!

The best thing which has ever happened to me was > that I was born in India!
