"Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divine within by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, or woship or psychic control, or philosophy, by one, or more or all of these -and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, or dogmas; rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details." - Swami Vivekananda
***
The days of dogmatic religions are on its way out. The science of spirituality has begun. The outer ceremonials of religions are not necessary any more for modern man, like a particular dress code, elaborate worshipping or marks on body. These formal documents will soon be redundant.
‘Each soul is potentially divine’, so says Swami Vivekananda. We, at this centre of learning and spiritual discipline, will try and help each individual to manifest his divinity through work, yogasana, pranayama, meditation, study and games. As all paths lead to the same goal, every individual will be free to nurture his/her spiritual progress in accordance with his/her inner spiritual urge.

"What our country now wants are muscles of iron and nerves of steel-gigantic wills which nothing can resist, which can penetrate into the mysteries and secrets of the universe and will accomplish their purpose in any fashion-even if it meant going to the bottom of the ocean and meeting Death face to face."
