Surprise for Ramona on her Birthday - 20 Mar 10

20 Mar 2010  Vrindavan, India

Category: Birthday

Flower Rain

It was a really great party yesterday. We had a great dinner with chickpeas, sweet Rice and potato pancakes. After that Yashendu presented the fruit cake that he had baked in the afternoon and it was just wonderful. And then Ramona opened the big surprise. In the afternoon, while she was shopping, we had been sitting with 20 people picking petals off several kilos of roses and then wrapped them and hung it outside in the yard over the ‘dance floor’. Together she and I pulled on a string and it rained flowers onto us and the floor which was the inauguration of the dance floor. It was a great feeling to have the flowers under the bare feet for dancing! We were dancing for a long time under the open sky.

Everybody enjoyed and the little boys also got crazy in dancing. I was watching Suraj and saw how he got down on one knee, put his fists up into the air and sung along the song. He is three years old, of course he did not learn anywhere to dance, it was just dance fully out of the heart, just joy. I also danced but then unfortunately had to stop because I was just full of this wonderful food. We had a great celebration and the main reason why we all had so much fun was because nobody had to show anything off to others, everybody could just enjoy freely. Even my grandmother danced a bit with us!
Here you see pictures of the big party

The party looks awesome, 100 times better than any night club extravagant parties. Simple and yet breathtaking. I envy Ramona for the shower of flowers.

Words of Wisdom

  • Honesty

    Be honest, even if you know the other one won't be happy about your answer!

    Source
  • Addiction

    If you only drink in company but don't want to, realize that this urge comes from outside. Why is the outside controlling you and brings you into a situation that you don’t want? Be strong in yourself.

    Source
  • Followers

    I don’t like the word ‘follower’ or ‘disciple’. Guru simply means teacher, so if you have the need for a teacher, a guru, why don’t you call yourself student? Rather than being a follower who follows blindly like a sheep, you should be a student, eager to learn more, enthusiastic for getting more knowledge and experience.

    Source
  • Prayers

    The aim of each prayer is getting close to God. A prayer can be in any form. Different religions suggest different ways of praying and those who did not learn any way of praying, like children, have their own prayers.

    Source
  • Responsibility

    You have to take responsibility for your life. You can make a change, nobody else can do that for you.

    Source
  • Happiness

    Being happy is the biggest worship of god. I don’t think that God would be more happy about any other ritual or method of worshipping.

    Source
  • Rules

    I 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.

    Source
  • Addiction

    When 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.

    Source
  • Love

    You cannot tell someone to love but you can be proud of your own love. Love your feelings, love and celebrate your love. You have to love yourself and be proud of the love that you can give to others. Never stop loving yourself in this frustration. At the right time you will meet the right person, there is nothing wrong with you and you don’t need to try stopping your love. Don’t create any guilt. Your love is great.

    Source
  • Relationship

    In my relationship I want to give the command of my life and my heart to the one I love. Now you can guide me because I know you, I trust you, in your love, you will do best for me.

    Source
  • Expectations

    Make yourself happy while helping others without expectations.

    Source
  • Self-Confidence

    Get the self-confidence to get out of the habits of comparing and pretending to be someone else. Love yourself, as you are. Accept whoever you are, respect your feelings of what you want to do and what you don’t want to do and love! Then your mind will be free from the worry and you will realize that others do love you as you are.

    Source
  • Sex

    Love can exist without sex but sex has to be with love.

    Source
  • Happiness

    If a player only enjoyed playing if he won the match, he would not be very happy in his profession. Don’t let your mind stop you from enjoying as much you can!

    Source
  • Happiness

    At some point everybody needs to take his own responsibility and act according to what makes him happy. If you tried to make everyone around you happy, you would never succeed but forget your own fun and joy! You should never make the happiness of others more important than your own happiness, otherwise you will make yourself unhappy – and won’t be able to help others!

    Source
  • Experience

    Your 'inner voice' is a combination of your feelings and your experiences, a way of your subconscious mind to tell you what would be good. It is nothing divine.

    Source
  • Equality

    We are one world and all are humans, not divided by race, colour, language, culture or religion. Keep in mind that we all are human.

    Source
  • Children

    The only good reason for the wish to have a child is because you have love in your heart and you want to share it with a child. You want to give a child the happiness that you feel when you are loved and when you can love someone.

    Source
  • Religion

    Religious belief and superstition can hurt the feelings of your friends.

    Source
  • Money

    Sharing money in family makes life much easier!
