" Do I wish that the Christian would become Hindu? God forbid. Do I wish that the Hindu or Buddhist would become Christian? God forbid... [the parliament] has proved to the world that holiness, purity and charity are not the exclusive possessions of any church in the world, [and pitiing anyone who] dreams of the exclusive survival of his own religion and the destruction of the others."
Swami Vevekananda, Parliament of Religion 1893 as quoted in American Veda p. 77, by Philip Goldberg
