16 Mar 2008 Vrindavan, India
Category: Birthday
It is Melly's birthday today! We had a great breakfast and started in the afternoon to go to an old palace 50 kilometers away. It is a beautiful place in Rajasthan, more than 250 years old. However you have the same thing: It is not taken care of properly. An old building needs some care. If it were in Europe I know it would be even much more beautiful. But this is India, they will also learn it someday.
When we came home they had already prepared balloons and a cake. Melly unpacked her presents and we had pizza for dinner. I always find a reason to be happy and to celebrate. Of course, today there is a birthday to celebrate but even if not I will just celebrate life or the good weather or whatever comes in my mind. I like the atmosphere when everybody is happy. If you are happy you can make others happy, too. It is just fantastic to be in festive mood! Life is a celebration! We have to celebrate it! Tomorrow they will start playing with colours in the streets of Vrindavan. It will go on for one week and any time that you go out you will surely come back in pink, red, green and yellow. Celebration of colours!

Religious people who want to be modern try to find a way to combine religion and science because one can survive without religion but not without science.
SourceReligion has always worked like a dictatorship, exploiting people, using fear to make them accept the rules without asking. The dictator makes the rules and you have no way to change them.
SourceGod can be your friend whom you trust, with whom you can share everything and who can be mother, father, son or daughter to you.
SourceGod is not a Hindu, Christian, Jew, Muslim or Buddhist. He does not have a certain form, shape or colour. The same God that lives in you also lives in me and will be there even if all religions vanish from this world.
SourceDon't play for winning but for having fun. The aim is not being better and if you lose, there is no reason to be sad. This is the game. Somebody will lose, somebody will win. A game is there for enjoying. Winning and losing is part of the fun.
SourceMany people in the ‘spiritual scene’ change very quickly and are not stable in their opinion because they are never sure but always in doubt.
SourceUnhappy? Not satisfied? A change of Perception might help! Life is beautiful, you just need to see it from the right place!
SourceHinduism says: don't die the wrong day or five family members will die, too!
SourceDon't take everything personal!
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.
SourceInstead of trying to make others happy, try to make yourself happy without worrying about the whole world. If you are happy, people will see you happy and will become happy.
SourceSome people love money and collect it but do not enjoy it. Nobody can take money with him when he leaves this world! So why to collect? Enjoy!
SourceReligion destroys the lives of children!
SourceYou cannot love, have sex with different people and not be jealous all at the same time!
SourceNever feel like a sinner. God does not punish you, he loves you.
SourceDo not steal the childhood of your children by raising them in a sect.
SourceWhy do gurus pretend to be all knowing Gods?
SourceCorruption in religion is worst because the most corrupt people there show themselves as the purest of ideals that everyone else should follow.
SourceIt is a funny western idea that you need to have a bad mood, at least from time to time!
SourceWhy do you eat Pig and Cow but not your Dog?
