Our national debt in 1971 was $408 billion; today it stands at $6.8 trillion, a 1600% increase. Since that time, our dollar has lost almost 80% of its purchasing power. Common sense tells us that this process is not sustainable and something has to give. So far, no one in Washington seems interested. View quote

The essence of Hindu Dharma is not ‘tolerance' or ‘equal respect for all religious' but satya, truth. The problem with Christianity and Islam is superficially their intolerance and fanaticism. But this intolerance is a consequence of these religions' untruthfulness.

The fundamental problem with monotheistic religions is not that they are intolerant but that they are untrue (Asatya or Anrita). View quote
