14 Oct 2008 Vrindavan, India
Category: Birthday
Today is my birthday and it was a wonderful day! A lot of things were going on. Roger had sponsored the food for my birthday. It was very nice to celebrate with the children like this and to give them some pocket money, too.
Today the Ayurvedic yoga Course started, so the participants and therapists were there and some of the Yoga students are also still in the Ashram. And then there were many friends who are in the Ashram at the moment or who came especially for this occasion. Together we watched the performance of the school children which was so nice! They have prepared that especially for this day and it was very cute to watch! The program also changed spontaneously when more people decided to contribute to the program. Laila, Ramona and her mother taught some children a certain dance which was also great. How quickly the children can learn that! You can see everything that happened today in the pictures. You can see who danced and how we enjoyed this day.
Because of the celebration I missed several phone calls from dear friends. Others sent me mails and sms and I thank you all for the great wishes that I got. In the next days I will also talk on phone to those who tried to call me today.
It is Sharad Purnima and the moon shines really wonderfully onto the earth tonight. The temperature also decreased so that it is not anymore too hot. I will now go into the cave to do the full moon meditation and the distance healing. I am looking forward to connect with everyone who is also in meditation at the same moment.

If you forgive yourself a mistake, why don’t you forgive others for the same? Forgiveness will give you satisfaction and peace.
SourceNot afraid of anyone but God' means being afraid of everything!
SourceReligion started as a tool to explain the inexplicable.
SourceReligion makes women inauspicious and depicts them as usable objects, as second-grade citizens who belong to men and should obey.
SourceIt is a funny western idea that you need to have a bad mood, at least from time to time!
SourceImportant is not how rich you are but how happy you are.
SourceLove cannot grow if you don’t have closeness. Sometimes it is very hard to get close to someone. Sometimes there is physical closeness but no closeness of the heart, sometimes the mind is close but nothing else. You cannot establish a strong relationship if you don’t accept full closeness.
SourceWhen shopping becomes an addiction like gambling, when your house gets more and more full, when you walk in the city and realize that you already have everything in those shops full of useless things, it is time to rethink on what you spend your money.
SourceHow could you, by writing a few lines or talking a few minutes, erase ideas which have been created over the course of many years or were learned while growing up? Change takes place only when a person is ready and really wants to.
SourceSpirituality does not tell you to break the hearts of others by breaking all bonds. Of course you can go the path of spirituality with the relations that God gave to you. You can take them along on your way instead of breaking their hearts.
SourceIf nobody can know anyway what will happen on the next day, why should we worry about it? There will never be an answer! We will see what will happen and we will deal with whatever comes. The past is past and tomorrow will come. Live in the presence, today, now!
SourceGod is the soul of our souls and lives in everybody in the form of love.
SourceIf someone refuses to change while you yourself are developing, it can happen that you grow apart. At that point of life, you meet new people who can go along with your new view on the world. It is fine and a part of the change which we accepted in our lives.
SourceLet your feelings flow. It is so simple but can be very difficult. Society taught us to suppress our feelings and tears are seen as weak. Let it flow. When you are sad, please cry. When you are happy, please laugh. Be proud of your feelings and of who you are! Let them flow and open your heart to the love that is flowing between us all.
SourceBelief and religion is a personal thing. Religious leaders of any religion, be that Hinduism, Islam, Christianity or any other religion, have no right to tell people what to believe.
Source‘Sadhu’ or ‘Sanyasi’ means detached. Today's Sadhu ridiculously contradicts his title with his display of gold and wealth!
SourceMaybe this time, which we are experiencing now, will later be called ‘Digital Bhakti Kal’, a time of devotion through digital media. Applications and programs will be interactive scriptures that judge your spiritual progress. There will be an option to pay some money and get access to higher levels and ranks straight away. It will be expensive but those who have the money can get online enlightenment from one second to the other simply via credit card.
SourceNever give up and never lose hope. You can always make a change.
SourceOnce you have lit the fire of love, you need fuel to keep it alive. Trust is the fuel for love.
SourceGod is love and love is God. The definition that you give for ‘God’ you can also give for love. God is infinite. Love too. There is no end and no limit. Love cannot be finished, it is simply impossible.
