Maharshi Manu's Tenets. Poem by Nabakishore Dash

Badly required are
peaceful state of mind,
and supreme patience.
The quality of Forgiveness
even if one has the
power to take revenge.


Control of mind, free from embezzlement of any
kind, cleanliness in thought,
speech and duty.
Good wishes for all,
wisdom, truth and
Victory over senses are
the Hindu nitty-gritty.

Possession of all of
above is the identifying
features of Hinduism.
Sans those, the claim
of a true Hindu is the
cause of religious schism.
