"There is an allurement inherrent in subjectivity of thinking.
This leads us to reflect on the interplay of belief and faith.
In its turn, this again comples thought to determine the role of values in seeking a peaceful life.

Varanasi still assures and guarantees peace, the last quest of Man.
Amidst all these contradictory but absorbing facets Varanasi, the Eternal, retains her undying virtue of continuity.
It emanates a message that still lures the sick and the spiirited, the demented and the meditative, the dispaired and the reject, the scholarly and the religious, the idealist and the cynic.

This is why Varanasi still continues to be the most attractive and compulsive 'must' in a tourist's calendar and a pilgrim's itinerary.
It is simultaneously a retreat for a recluse and a hermit, and a diversion for the eccentric and the pervert."
(Varanasi redicovered by B. BHattacharya)










"In the lexicon of youth, which fate reserves For a bright manhood, there is no such word As - fail."
(Sam Keen - American Philosopher and Writer)
















"The first most important thing in the world is breathing, the second most important thing in the world is cleansing, and massage is the best cleanser.
To dispel toxins from the body, and to recycle vital life fluid, there is nothing better than massage.
By working with muscles, you make the muscles work.
Then fluids move out and new fluids full of nourishment flow in.
In this way massage expels toxins.

Also, it strengthens the body.
It strengthens the immune system, and it's soothing.
Even wild animals can be brought under control if you give them a little massage.
If you sit down with a wild animal, and rub its body, hug or touch it, and play with its spine and head, in a few minutes the animal will become very demanding, and say please, give me more massage.
So massage tames the wild beast.

This is the secret Indian women use to control their men.
To get massage, the man runs home.
The house is a heaven where he can relax."
( Pearls of Wisdom by Harish Johari - Indian author, painter, sculptor, scholar and teacher, 1934-1999)








"Take care of your body with steadfast fidelity.
The soul must see through these eyes alone, and if they are dim, the whole world is clouded."
(Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe - German writer and polymath, 1749 –1832)










“What can you ever really know of other people's souls - of their temptations, their opportunities, their struggles?
One soul in the whole creation you do know: and it is the only one whose fate is placed in your hands”.
(C.S. Lewis - British Scholar and Novelist, 1898-1963)
