“The civilization and culture one lives in have certain sacred centres which arouse emotion. These centres should be found out and brought to notice in a way that they could see the underlying divinity in the outward manifestations of the culture and civilization…the emotional power would be aroused.”
Shri Shantananda Saraswati
