Quotes by Hindol Sengupta (?)

“To find what the Rig Veda describes in a hymn to the funeral pyre: ‘Carry him, O Fire, in your arms gently. Carry him where the fathers live, where there is no more sorrow, where there is no more death.’15”
― Hindol Sengupta, Being Hindu: Old Faith, New World and You

“We grow up believing that to pray is to reach out to the external, that which lies outside of us. All the while, in reality, we are seeking something that lies within us. Our relationship with God, we are led to believe when we grow older, is irrational hocus pocus. It is not just embarrassingly naïve but condemnably stupid to be discussing matters like faith. The opium of the masses is not for us, for we are, presumably, not the masses.”
― Hindol Sengupta, Being Hindu: Old Faith, New World and You

“What is that by knowing which everything in this universe is known?’22 That is the answer that Hindu philosophy seeks to provide.”
