HINDUISM

“Verily, as far as the space extends from this [universe], so far does the space of the heart extend. It contains both heaven and earth. ” The Chandogya Upanishads “Only spiritual awareness - recognizing the presence of God in oneself and in any other living being - can save the world. I don't see any chance of peace without this. Start with yourself. There is no time to waste. It is your duty to do your part to bring God's kingdom on earth. ”       Pramahansa Yogananda "... the world famous Sri Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple stands out as a glorious monument that creates a feeling of heaven on earth."                        Shastry V. Mallady “I am not asking for worldly power, nor am I asking to go to heaven, not even to reach nirvana . What I ask is that I will be able to relieve the pain of those who are in pain. " " As you will notice, this prayer does not preclude. It is not limited to your own caste or community. it is all encompassing. It encompasses all of humanity. His realization would therefore mean the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. ”   Mahatma Gandhi
