who is a hindu?

[Guest guest]

We are the birds of the same nest,

We may wear different skins,

We may speak different languages,

We may believe in different religions,

We may belong to different cultures,

Yet we share the same home - our earth.

 

Born on the same planet

Covered by the same skies

Gazing at the same stars

Breathing the same air

We must learn to happily progress together

Or miserably perish together,

For man can live individually,

But can survive only collectively

(from Atharva Veda)

 

may **love** rule
