https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkbTBwKaLKQ If one knows Sanskrit well then one can easily understand this work, Paramārthastavaḥ of Sri. Nāgārjuna (this work is not as popular as Prajñāpāramitahṛdaya sutra, yet this is also a beautiful one) - This was written in such a simple Sanskrit, even the non-scholars could relate to it at that time. Buddhism grew big in India only after Sri. Nāgārjuna.

It is also easy to understand that including Sri. Siddhārtha Gautama Buddha and Sri. Nāgārjuna - all of them are agnostic and not really atheistic. The actual "Vāda" (theory) Sri. Nāgārjuna propagated was "Sarva-dharma-śūnya-vāda" - over time it was known more as "śūnya-vāda" and people started misinterpreting it as atheistic.

    One can easily relate the meanings of this to the Dasashloki of Sri. Adi Shankaracharya.

"I am still speechless on my childs answer and have started searching for God in Humans instead of statues. -- A good story which I read today. Not sure whether this has been penned by an agnostic or atheist. But forms a good question for discussion. What do you all think about this?

I have been thinking recently about our state of temples.

I have been thinking recently about our state of temples. They have changed their forms from being cultural and binding factors to just business centres. mostly people who are visiting the temples are doing mechanical things. how can we revive the temples as discussion forums for arts, culture, social responsibilities from being just "transactional" in nature. there are satsangas being organized in the temples, but they just follow the bhakthi movement. how can we revive usage of sanskrit, learning of vedas, and then to create a more responsible generation than ours? ideas are welcome...
