Category: Charity
Yesterday I told you about the boys who live in the Ashram. They get everything that they need for living and studying and of course they have a lot of fun here, too. They play Badminton, ball games and more. And they also help in the garden, in the kitchen and wherever a helping hand is needed, like today, for example. The boys packed lots of clothes into boxes and into the car and we went to a poor area of Vrindavan where the water of the Yamuna had entered the houses, to distribute the clothes there.
Many people were there, mainly women with children but also some men and they thankfully took the Saris and Dhotis that we brought. This was our last plan for helping the people who suffered in the flood. The situation is better there but of course the people who live there are poor. We have supported them before and we will continue our help with distributing blankets in winter or giving food to everyone. On our flood page you will now see the balance of the donations that we got and the expenses that we had for helping in this situation. We have taken out the button for donations but of course you can always help us in helping others by donating, sponsoring a child or sponsoring food.

The boys at the ashram are so sweet. I bet they really enjoying giving to others. I think it's important to teach children charity if you can, any kind of charity and by that I mean any kind of kindness.

SourceMany people try with force and effort to keep happiness away because they want to be victims. They are always sad and hurt, no matter what happens.
SourceNegative people are not bothered by negativity because they are already full of negativity. Negativity more strongly affects positive people, trying to make them negative, too.
SourceBonding a relation in terms like 'open', 'short term' or 'long term relationship' shows your insecurity and your doubts. It sounds like a contract. This may suit business relations but it doesn’t fit if you want to establish a relation on the physical, emotional and soul level.
SourceWhen a Muslim woman gets raped, the law of Islam says she has to bring forward four adult men who can confirm that she was raped, otherwise she will be the one punished. Imagine, after the physical torture of being raped, you are being tortured mentally, too!
SourceWe are one world and all are humans, not divided by race, colour, language, culture or religion. Keep in mind that we all are human.
SourceIf you follow outdated scriptures, you would have to kill a ridiculous amount of people in our daily lives, most of the population would have a ‘painful doom’ and women would behave and be treated very wrong. It just does not fit anymore.
SourceTrust your feelings and listen to your heart. It will help you take decisions and be stable in your decisions.
SourceBeing 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.
SourceIf you experience something, don’t be shy to change your opinion, even if it is the opposite of what you thought before. Change if you believe it is necessary to change, otherwise it will cost you your happiness. If you change when it is right to change, you will see that new doors open for a better future.
SourceReligion has always worked like a dictatorship, exploiting people, using fear to make them accept the rules without asking. The dictator makes the rules and you have no way to change them.
SourceReligious people who want to be modern try to find a way to combine religion and science because one can survive without religion but not without science.
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.
SourceWestern culture is not responsible for sex, alcohol and gambling problems in India!
SourceI heard Jesus is not usually an angry or short-tempered guy. He, too, believed in love instead of punishment.
SourceReligion is the root problem of sex crimes against women.
SourceBreast implants are for those who look at them, not for the one who will actually touch them in the end.
SourceLet your ego dissolve in love. Do not show with ego how much you did for the other person not while doing and not after having done.
SourceSects create fear. Fear of life, fear of sins, fear of god. Believe in love, not in fear. There is no reason to be afraid. Love is God and God is love
SourceGurus sitting on golden thrones, silver pots around them, wearing golden necklaces and jewelry with kilos of gems and precious stones just show that it is simple religious business, nothing else.
