Category: Ashram
Everybody feels attracted by love. Love has this energy to attract people and if you know a person who has much love for himself and the world around him you will feel well with that person. The same is true for places, too. And this is how our Ashram, a place full of love, attracts people who feel well, safe and comfortable when they are here.
And today two girls were attracted by this atmosphere and while walking in Vrindavan saw our Ashram and came in. They are from New York and only visited Vrindavan for one day. So they spent the afternoon with us here and had dinner at the Ashram, too. The love of this place attracts and we are always happy when lovely people come to visit.
Another lovely person had birthday today: our dear friend Iris. She also sponsored food for the children and we celebrated for her here. We wish you a very happy birthday!

The ashram is not only a place for love. It is also a place for freedom, peace and relaxation. You can do here whatever you want, you can be who you are and enjoy your surrounding and you don't have to follow any rules. Isn't that great? ;)

Yes, all the love is infecting! I'm glad that loving and lovely people have been drawn to the ashram... it's more fun that way! After reading about the ashram on the website, it became very clear what the goal of this place is: our destiny is love and love is the way! :D

People who are really religious have a strong belief that nothing happens without God’s wish. So if you really think this, how come you get so excited and even angry if someone does not share your belief? Don’t you think that this, too, is God’s wish?
SourceDon't like your job? - Change it or start liking it!
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if he says to his devotees ‘Please follow your religion and devotion at your home, not on the road.’
SourceYou can turn Hinduism as you like, you can wish for whatever you want, heaven or liberation - it is flexible enough to grant you everything.
SourceBelievers should study their belief. Find out in depth what is written in scriptures and if you find things you don’t like, ask yourself if you can really blindly accept them as religion asks you to.
SourceReligion welcomes people with an option to only be partly religious. Take as much of it as you want: 20%, 40% or 60%. Hardly anybody will go with 100% but religion does not care, it wants to have you in any way. It is like sugar-coated poison, a drug that promises you a lot and you, carefully, take a bit and don’t notice how you are drawn into it even more.
SourceReligion uses subtle manipulation to make you crazy.
SourceI do not like rules. I said many times that we are always living in rules but we should make it a rule to break one rule daily. But that should be your decision and not controlled by anyone else.
SourceArranged marriage is like a lottery. Your spouse can become your best friend if you are lucky. Or you just have a husband or a wife. That’s it. Someone who has a place in your life but not in your heart.
SourceNever give your partner the feeling he is unwanted or not needed. In love it is necessary that you have the feeling the other one wants you. You will have the pride that you are worth something to the other one.
SourceDevotion to the wrong person or cause can be harmful!
SourceIf God is omnipotent, why can he not provide a non-violent solution? Why does he have to kill? Could he not, with one blink of the eye, make peace on earth?
SourceDon’t let your ego keep you from saying sorry. It does not make you small to apologize. Overcome your ego and apologize for the wrong you did.
SourceMeditation has become a sign of being spiritual or religious. Don't do it regularly however simply because your religion tells you to. Such a ritual often becomes a habit and loses its benefit.
SourceYou are more than a body and not only your body. People should love you not because of your body. Your real freedom would be if you did not use your body as a medium to attract people’s attention.
SourceBoth, good and bad Karma binds you. Offer whatever you do. In this way you will be safe of the disappointment that comes with a bad result and safe of the ego of having achieved a good result.
SourceSpirituality is very individual, not institutional. Even if you don’t go into a temple or church, you are spiritual, if you believe in love.
SourceDon’t value everything with money. If you give, give generously without expectation. If you get something, appreciate it with your heart, not with your purse.
SourceHuman worship in any religion and culture is always wrong.
SourceI am not a Guru, Master or a Teacher. Just trying to be a good student in the school of life.
