I go into the Upanishads to ask questions.
-Niels Bohr
The Hindu religion is the only one of the world's great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite, number of deaths and rebirths. It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond, to those of modern scientific cosmology. Its cycles run from our ordinary day and night to a day and night of Brahma, 8.64 billion years long. Longer than the age of the Earth or the Sun and about half the time since the Big Bang. And there are much longer time scales still.
-Carl Sagan

-Erwin Schrödinger

-Carl Sagan
Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India.
-Mark Twain
