Beings

without Religion,
There are some who
in the egotism of their
reason declare that
they have nothing to
do with Religion
 Do we Need More Hindus

 Gandhiji On Isa Upanishad

 What we see in this Universe

is pervaded by God.
 Renounce it and Start
Enjoying it.
 Enjoy with what he gives.
 Do not covet anybody's wealth
or possession.
 Just practice above sayings
and you are certain to become
a wise person.
 What is ISA UPANISAD

The Upanishad teaches

essential Unity of
God and world being and
becoming
All this whatever moves in
this moving world is
enveloped by God.
Therefore find your
enjoyment in renunciation
Do not covet what belongs
to others
 Who Rules this Universe

 God the Mighty Ruler

pervades in every
thing and he is
watching your action
and true intentions.
 Renounce and
Dedicate all to him
and then enjoy use
the portion that may
fall to thy lot
 Who Own Us

 Since God pervades in

everything Nothing
belongs to you.
 Do remember even our
body belong to him
 God is the undisputed
unchallengeable Master
of everything you posses.
 Result of Renunciation

 When you act with spirit of Renunciation and

Dedication – God is certain to take Good care
of what you require for Food, Clothing, and
Housing.
 You cannot have anything for long, the though
of owing is an Illusion.
 Do remember I can not hold as mine any thing
that belong to God.
 Gandhiji on Gita Dhanya

 Gita is not opposite of

Unhappiness, It is superior
to that state.
 A true Devotee of Gita is
neither Happy nor Unhappy.
 A believer of Gita has no
Pain, No pleasure, No
deprivation, or No
possessions.
 Is Truth Different from God

 Truth is perhaps the

most Important name
of God
 It is more correct to
say that Truth is God
than to to say that
God is Truth.
 Why we should rely on GOD

 I have learned this one

lesson that what is
impossible with man is
child’s play with God.
And if we have faith in
that divinity which
presides the destiny of
the meanest of his
creation.
How I Spend my Time

 I learned to live and

pass my Time and
endeavor to obey his
will.
 My faith on God

 I have implicit faith in

God, though I fail
several times I will not
lose faith in Almighty
 How to Pray to God
 Pray with Heart not with
Lips
 Prayer can be heard by
God even from ignorant,
innocent, and stupid.
 Do not forget a prayer from
those who are tongues are
nectered but whose full of
poison are never heard.
 Mahatma on Prayer

 Prayer is an impossibility
without a living faith in the
presence of God within
 A real prayer is an
absolute shield and
protection against this
trinity of evils
 There is no such thing as
retreat for a man of
Prayer.
 Prayer

 Our Prayer is an heart

search
 It is a reminder that to
ourselves that we are
helpless without his
support.
God Guides Humanity

Defeat cannot
dishearten me, It can
only chaten me. I
know God guides me
Why Renounced everything to God

After passing through

turbulent life I realized
God is the
undisputed,
unchallengeable
Master of everything I
posses, So I cannot
hold as mine anything
that belongs to GOD
 Why We Need Tolerance
Today

The Need of the Hour is not religion, but

mutual respect and tolerance of the
devotees of the different religions. We
want to reach not the dead level, but unity
in diversity.
Mahatma Gandhi
Albert Einstein On Mahatma

‘ I … regard Gandhi as the

only true great figure of
our age … generations to
come will scarce believe
that sudh a one as this as
this ever in flesh and
blood walked upon this
earth.’

Humanity
