Category: Charity
Today was a nice day. The last days we were all hoping that it would cool down because it was very hot which is unusual for September. Yesterday in the evening we went outside and Purnendu said how great it would be to have some rain. Ramona said that in Germany hardly ever someone prays for rain like this. And the wish came true, today in the morning it was cloudy and a bit windy, it rained, too, but not very much. It cooled down a bit so that the weather is more pleasant now.
Today’s food was sponsored by the guests of the Indian restaurant Zimt and Koriander in Wiesbaden. I have written about this restaurant before and when we were in Wiesbaden in the last week of our Europe-Tour, we went there and got to know that after only two months the donation box was full again. People just put their change in after paying for their food. It is really wonderful. We will send a picture to the restaurant so that it can stand next to the donation box. I am very happy and thankful and wish that more and more people get inspired from this and help to give support to our children and our charity projects.
And today Andrea, Ramona’s mother also arrived here in Vrindavan. She said it feels like travelling from home to home and this is the feeling that I would like to give every visitor of my Ashram. Enjoy your time and relax here just as it was your home.
We are looking forward to tomorrow to the medical camp that we will make. A doctor will come together with his assistants and we will turn the school rooms into an examination room, a waiting room and a small pharmacy. We will do our best to provide help to everybody who will come to us tomorrow. There is still the possibility to contribute to this wonderful project.

That's a remarkable idea. Networking at best with the maximum number of beneficiaries.

You have to accept your anger. It is a natural feeling, created by god. It is a negative feeling, yes, but you are not bad if you feel angry. It is there and you need to live it!
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.
SourceWe don’t need rituals to find God and God will not be especially happy if we do rituals for him. You can find God through love and by being in love, you do the best service to him that you can.
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if he says to his devotees ‘Please follow your religion and devotion at your home, not on the road.’
SourceIf you are in love with God, you don’t have to ‘do’ meditation, it takes place itself. You are in love without doing any ritual. You also don’t need to do rituals to please your God, he will feel your love in every moment. There is no need of any special prayer, any certain Mantra if you are in love with God.
SourceDifferent cultural background or lack of common interests do not make friendship impossible!
SourceIf you can enjoy giving joy to somebody else, it is detachment!
SourceThere should be four steps to a relationship: First you get to know someone, after that you trust him, the third step is love and the fourth step is a relationship. You cannot trust someone without knowing him. Trust is the base for love. And a relationship should be built on love!
SourceI only follow one rule: Break one rule daily. And I believe that we need to get rid of all other rules if we want to live free and with open heart.
SourceYou should not trust god completely because if you do, you will die, waiting for him to come and help you! Fool god, tell him that you believe in him and have full faith while you would never actually trust him that much!
SourceIllusion only exists with the limitations of this earth. Once the soul is liberated and free of the body and this material world, rich or poor, high or low does not matter anymore.
SourceSilence is very necessary. It is a jewel of life. Most of our energy is consumed by talking. Be silent and save it.
SourceBreaking with someone causes pain, hurts and makes people feel bad. If there is any way to avoid it, please do.
SourceReligion is the root problem of sex crimes against women.
SourceHuman worship in any religion and culture is always wrong.
SourceReligious leaders act as if God is their property and they are the ones to distribute the connection. But they are not the brokers of God. You don’t need to pay them commission to establish the connection. You can just dial in yourself.
SourceAs a person who does not believe in superstition, one sometimes has a difficult time convincing others that their belief is nonsense. You can try and put up the most scientific arguments but a really superstitious person will still not believe you. Nevertheless I believe that superstitions, just like religious belief in general, is in decline.
SourceReligious traditions let followers ignore their gurus' crimes!
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if he is not sitting in silver-walled temples wearing gold jewelry, eating 56 different types of food, but instead comes here and sees how to earn his bread with hard work.
SourceDifferent cultural background creates different perceptions of how children should be.
