“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

“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

Bhagavad-Gita.” – Gandhiji

first of books; it was as if an empire spoke to us….” -

millions
Reflections
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.

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
Revered Dhanashree Talwalkar

Rev. Didi at UN’s special session
