Hindu quotes and proverbs 

Inspirational sayings from the religious tradition of Hinduism

Hinduism is not just a faith. It is the union of reason and intuition that can not be defined but is only to be experienced. Evil and error are not ultimate. There is no Hell, for that means there is a place where God is not, and there are sins which exceed his love.


Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan (1888-1975), first Vice President of India (1952-1962), and the second President of India (1962-1967).

"We meditate on the transcendental glory of the Deity Supreme,
who is inside the heart of the earth,
inside the life of the sky,
and inside the soul of the heaven.
May He stimulate and illumine our minds. "


The Gayatri Mantra

Among the wealthy, compassionate men claim the richest wealth,
For material wealth is possessed by even contemptible men.
Find and follow the good path and be ruled by compassion.
For if the various ways are examined, compassion will prove the means to liberation.


Tirukkural 25: 241-242

It takes a thorn to remove a thorn.


Hindu Proverb

The Three great mysteries: air to a bird, water to a fish, mankind to himself.


Hindu Proverb

A man in this world without learning is as a beast of the field.


Hindu Proverb

There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.


Hindu Proverb

When an elephant is in trouble even a frog will kick him.


Hindu Proverb
