I experienced carnival today! We went to the parade in Schwabmünchen It was really nice, I enjoyed it. So many people were throwing candy and I gave all that I caught to the children who were around. Andrea found it very funny that people from the parade were taking photos of me and Yashendu while we were taking pictures of them. Everybody was dancing and having fun. It is a little bit like in India in the Holi colour festival. That is even more crazy.
It is now only two weeks until we fly back to India. Tomorrow we will go to Iris and Thomas. We will go to Wiesbaden by train. It is a nice way to travel. It is fast, taking you to your destination and you can do things while it is driving.

Sex is not only physical. It is more about feelings than about the physical aspect. With money you can hire a body but not feelings and surely not love.
SourceBlaming western culture for India's problems won't prevent sexual crimes!
SourceBeating children only creates anger as well as the thought: ‘Okay, now I am small, you are big, let me become big and then we will see!’
SourceInsecurity in life makes you need assurance by others!
SourceGuru is not a title, it is a relation like brother or father. Swami is a title for a spiritual person. This is the difference.
SourceTake your own responsibility without relying on others or thinking about other people’s judgment.
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.
SourceDo not steal the childhood of your children by raising them in a sect.
SourceYou can stop smoking right now; it is only your willpower, only your wish and only your decision. Promise yourself not to touch any cigarette in your life anymore even if you die because of it. I can guarantee that you will not die without smoking.
SourceLet your sons and daughters take their own decisions and carry the consequences. Don’t control every little detail but let them get the taste of being adult.
SourceYou can communicate in silence, looking into each other’s eyes and just feeling the energy. This also works as healing, it is silence therapy. Silence can cure, just try it.
SourceHuman is just a puppet in a big play. You think you are in charge but there is something bigger than you. Nature, god, the universe, however you want to call it. Even if you know your body, you don’t have full control over it. Nobody knows when, what can happen. Nobody can predict anything.
SourceDon't try to control everything!
SourcePeople often lie because they don’t know their feelings and try to please everyone. Be aware of what you feel and what you say and only tell the truth!
SourceNo, money is not everything and you cannot express the value of everything in Euros, Dollars or Rupees!
SourceHow will an 'untouchable' person feel if he realizes the moment that he touched you, you decided to take a shower to cleanse yourself again?
SourceSometimes religion is like poison. Look at these people who gather others around themselves, making up their own ‘religion’ by interpreting some scripture in their own way and create rules. It steals the freedom of the mind. You need to know yourself what is right for you and everybody has different ideas of what is good or bad, right or wrong.
SourceScriptures were written by normal men. It was their experience but your experience can be very different. With time everything changes. If your experience is different than from what the Bible or the Gita tells you, why don’t you believe in yourself? Why don’t you trust your experience?
SourceBelievers cheat themselves by thinking god created everything bad for a reason.
SourceI don’t like rules but I like discipline. It makes your will power strong.
