Yesterday I said that you can be the sponsor for one child but you can say that this sponsorship supports us in helping the child. This also means that if a sponsor discontinues a sponsorship the child can still go to school and keep on learning for his future.
These children are from very poor families and many of their fathers just work wherever they can find work. So if it is necessary they also move from town to town. For our school this means that many children do not stay and continue all classes. Instead, many of them come for one year, maybe even less and they do not always finish the school year. And this is how the list of children who are currently at our school changes often. And in this way it can also happen that sponsored children move and we look for other children for their sponsors. We tell the sponsor that this child left our school and I would like people to understand that this is because of their family situation. They are not all settled here in Vrindavan.
But again I want to say that all children are same. They all are lovely and need our support. With your sponsorship you give them the possibility to learn and then some day they maybe can have a proper home and family and they will be more stable in their life. It is my wish that they learn whatever is possible in the time that they are at our school and I thank all sponsors for the help that they provide!

I love that you can look at the children's pictures and see information about them. But I don't mind who I sponsor! I just picked the first one my mouse hit. It all goes to the same place and they all have similar needs.

The problem in a discussion with religious people is that they do not only think their belief is the best but quote their scriptures as proof in their arguments and then get confused and can't believe it when somebody doesn't accept their quotations as the truth.
SourceReligion is like politics. It is a dictatorship with the Guru or leader being the dictator setting the rules. Start a spiritual revolution and come out of this suppression. Go towards real spirituality, towards democracy, where your voice is being heard.
SourceDon't eat while walking. Can't you take ten minutes to sit down and eat consciously? You are not just filling a garbage box, it is your body!
SourceStop comparing yourself to others and be happy!
SourceInsecurity in life makes you need assurance by others!
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.
SourceIf you have a continued physical relation, the emotional relation will naturally develop by itself.
SourceWhy are holy religious scriptures full of violence and blood?
SourceScriptures and religion install fear of magic and ghosts in children and adults.
SourceI always believe that anything that causes fear and makes people worried and afraid is not right. You should give people trust, faith, love and compassion.
SourceIt is not necessary to believe in the truth for it to be real. Fire for example will burn, if you believe it or not.
SourceReligious businessmen think that they can cheat God and his devotees, earn money from this sinful work and then bribe God to free them from that sin again. Religion gives you the a possibility to be forgiven anything!
SourceSpirituality may be different for everyone but if you have a meaningful life, no matter whatever this is for you, you live in spirituality. If you feel that you fulfill your purpose of life, you are happy and that is true spirituality.
SourceAny kind of disappointment comes from expectations.
SourceEverybody has a heart and a soul. The body is the temple of our soul, in which it lives and we should be very respectful with it. We should not make an exhibition with it and we should not have rules to hide it. Both is not right and if you do one of both, you are disrespecting your body.
SourceDon’t be afraid to act differently. It won’t make you an outsider if those around you really love you. You have to be honest in order to feel good about yourself.
SourceBeauty is not about physical appearance. We are not only the body, there is a soul and a beautiful soul is much more important than figure, colour or shape.
SourceBlaming western culture for India's problems won't prevent sexual crimes!
SourceOur stress is created by thinking with ego: I have to do this, I have to be good in that and I should be perfect in another thing. Actually it would be good if I was perfect in everything! Of course this creates stress! We put such high demand on ourselves and on what we should be able to do and to achieve.
SourceSpirituality is something very personal and individual. You don’t need to connect with a sect or join a group for living your spirituality. You need deeply felt spirituality and not show-off spirituality. Be natural about your spirituality.
