Today I would like to give you a report from New York City. One of our friends, Suann, was in India in the last October and November. She visited the Ashram and the children touched her heart. As I told before, she helped to raise funds for furniture in the school and she sent some pictures of the last weekend. She got together with friends in a bar to get more donations for the school children of the Ashram. 45 people were gathered and together they raised about 1000 Dollar. The owner of the bar also liked the idea and donated 10% of the sales of that evening. She said they did not only raise money but also awareness about the children in India and everyone also had lots of fun. So not only fundraising but also funraising!. I am very happy about this and want to thank Suann for that effort.
We need this kind of contribution and help to continue our work. I appreciate this kind of support very much as I am also always working for these children projects. It could be an inspiration for other people, too, that they can have more ideas in this way to support the children. I always invite everyone to become sponsor for them or to sponsor food for one day at the Ashram. It would be very nice to get help in this way.
Yesterday we arrived in Lüneburg and it is always nice to come back here. I enjoy working with my friend Michael and now I am especially here to offer this Law of healing course at the weekend. On Saturday, the 14th February, on Valentine’s Day, we offer a chakra dance party, too. I have told already that we have created music for the chakras and you can listen and download this music from our shopping cart now. We had a very nice distance healing meditation last night. I also got reactions from people that they could feel the energy very nicely in the meditation.

Haha, I love that idea- not only fundraising but funraising! Unfortunately, I don't think enough of the Western world gets to hear news about floods and other catastrophes from countries in need. We hear about some of the huge hurricanes and earthquakes, but the smaller events are left unnoticed. I hope there can be more global help networks in the future.

I had the opportunity to meet Sue on a visit to the ashram, she is a wonderful person! Very full of life and energy and care. She showed me some of the furniture that these proceeds went to, was great to see fruits of labor. thanks to Sue and others like her that support these kids!

No matter who you are and what you are doing, in the movie of your life you will always have the main role, you will be the hero. Stop trying to be someone who you are not or different and better than others, just be yourself! You are not greater or worse, higher or lower than anybody else. God made you perfectly fine, just as you are.
SourceSoul, energy, love, essence, prana and god are synonyms for me.
SourceWomen are taught that their guru is God. You do what God says and whatever God says is right and has a deeper meaning. If God asks you to touch his genitals or if he kisses you, there will be a reason. Some gurus even told their favourite female disciples that they were the chosen ones who will receive enlightenment the fastest.
SourceIf you see a friend being pulled into a sect or a group that has bad practices, tell him what you think about it but in the end you have to let him believe what he wants to believe.
SourceMeditation can go long ways in giving you mental discipline. This discipline can help you realize what you can do to feel good in your body.
SourceIf 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.
SourceThere is a difference in between friends and customers. Customers want something from you. Friends want you.
SourceWe dont need more temples in India, we need more toilets!
SourceThere is no plan and nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. We can take our decisions and have to take our responsibility for the consequences. Nobody knows before what will happen if you go one way or the other.
SourceHuman traded his sensitivity for a modern lifestyle.
SourceReligion is outdated from today’s point of view because we have found the answers to the questions due to which religion was created in the first place! Only manipulation and fear is left together with ancient, bloody scriptures – so you should leave religion and it should be buried as a relic of the past.
SourceIn the history of mankind, many religions have died and with time, the present religions will become a part of history as well.
SourcePeople say children die of hunger in this world because of their Karma. God should not save them, they have to go through it. Why is God such a partial person that he saves some people from their Karma and not others?
SourcePeople cannot express what they feel. They often do not even really know whether they like something or not. They look at their neighbours and see what their reaction is. Then they can imitate it. Easy.
SourceDon't take everyone else's responsibility on your own shoulders! You cannot take it for long, your shoulders are not made for that! Be happy, that will help others and yourself!
SourceReal prosperity is happiness that is not disturbed by a fluctuation of numbers. When you are happy you should have a big generous heart which will try to make others happy.
SourcePeople embrace religion simply as a good way of doing wrong without a bad conscience.
SourceIndia does not need entertainment events that cost Billions of Dollars while every minute five poor Indians die of hunger and about half of Indian’s children below five are malnourished.
SourceEven many educated Westerners are interested in materializing gold and thus fooled by Gurus promising fake powers.
SourceEverybody’s situation is very individual. If I tell you that it is always good to be honest, it is your responsibility how to use this suggestion. If you decide to be honest, unnecessarily tell your boss that you don’t like him and get fired, I would not think that I was responsible for that!
