Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.28.15-16
"Lamentation, elation, fear, anger, greed, confusion and hankering, as well as birth and death, are experiences of the false ego and not of the pure soul." "The living entity who falsely identifies with his body, senses, life air and mind, and who dwells within these coverings, assumes the form of his own materially conditioned qualities and work. He is designated variously in relation to the total material energy, and thus, under the strict control of supreme time, he is forced to run here and there within material existence." https://vedy.online/en/sb11/28/15 & https://vedy.online/en/sb11/28/16
Bhagavad-Gītā 8.12
Bhagavad-Gītā 8.12
"The yogic situation is that of detachment from all sensual engagements. Closing all the doors of the senses and fixing the mind on the heart and the life air at the top of the head, one establishes himself in yoga." https://vedy.online/en/bg/8/12/
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.23.2-3
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.23.2-3
"Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa said: O disciple of Bṛhaspati, there is virtually no saintly man in this world capable of resettling his own mind after it has been disturbed by the insulting words of uncivilized men." "Sharp arrows which pierce one’s chest and reach the heart do not cause as much suffering as the arrows of harsh, insulting words that become lodged within the heart when spoken by uncivilized men." https://vedy.online/en/sb11/23/2 & https://vedy.online/en/sb11/23/3

Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 20.138
"“ ‘Being very dear to the devotees and sādhus, I am attained through unflinching faith and devotional service. This bhakti-yoga system, which gradually increases attachment for Me, purifies even a human being born among dog-eaters. That is to say, everyone can be elevated to the spiritual platform by the process of bhakti-yoga.’" Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 20.138
Bhagavad-Gītā 2.39
Bhagavad-Gītā 2.39
"Thus far I have described this knowledge to you through analytical study. Now listen as I explain it in terms of working without fruitive results. O son of Pṛthā, when you act in such knowledge you can free yourself from the bondage of works." https://vedy.online/en/bg/2/39/

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.5.31-32
"By that confidential knowledge, I could understand clearly the influence of the energy of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the creator, maintainer and annihilator of everything.

"One has the feeling that the thinkers of the East knew it all, and if we could only translate their answers into our language we would have the answers to all our questions. / "I like to think that someone will trace how the deepest Indian insight passed from India to Greece and from there into the philosophy of today."

"One could say that Atman is more or less the meaning. So then what is indicated is Brahman. I mean the identity of consciousness and the universe. From this it follows that meaning and the indicated are actually one and the same, which is a phrase from the Vedas—Atman is Brahman."
David J. Bohm – One of the most famous quantum physicists.
"Hinduism is the only one of the religious systems that declares that the universe constantly undergoes many births and deaths, therefore it is cyclic. It is also the only one in which the time periods given in the Vedas are in accordance with modern scientific cosmology."
Carl Sagan - The most famous astrophysicist of the 20th century.
"Multiplicity is only apparent. This is the doctrine of the Upanishads. And not of the Upanishads only. The mystical experience of the union with God regularly leads to this view, unless strong prejudices stand in the way."

About the project

About the project

Our goal is to bring the world’s oldest philosophy — Sanātana Dharma (the Vedas) — closer to a materialistic society in a clear and modern form. Even after more than 5,000 years, these ideas remain timeless and more relevant than ever, due to the ever-growing expansion of materialism.

People lack genuine spiritual knowledge. They are misled by atheism, hedonism, pseudo-religions, or cheap esotericism, none of which provide satisfying answers to the meaning of life or to true happiness.

We strive to restore this balance and guide people toward a more natural and conscious way of life.
