Today in the morning Andrea had to leave the Ashram to fly back to Germany. It was very hard for her to leave and it was also sad for us to see her go because we had such a nice time together and we just love to have her here. She loves being here and in the Ashram atmosphere.
Thomas and Iris are still here and have some more days to enjoy their time here. Thomas saw yesterday that children came to the school but that they were not wearing their school uniforms. He asked a few of them and they told him that the uniform was being washed and they only have one set. He thought about this and finally talked with Purnendu and told him that he would like to sponsor new uniforms for them. I know he doesn’t have much money but he has a big heart. All the students will be very happy. When they need to wash their uniforms they will now have a second shirt and trouser or skirt to wear.
I talked with some of my friends on phone today whose calls I missed yesterday. It was very nice.
In the Ayurvedic yoga Course the treatments started today and the participants had their first great experience with Ayurvedic massages. My friend Johannes told me that today he had Shirodhara, a treatment in which oil is tripping on your forehead. He said that he would recommend this to everyone. He said it felt like thousands of small soft hands were massaging him.
There are a lot of nice pictures from yesterday so we chose some of those to show you.

Western culture is not responsible for sex, alcohol and gambling problems in India!
SourceIndia still has not been able to abolish the caste system. Its root is religion and this is why, due to religion, there are still people who are considered untouchable by others.
SourceIf you don’t have hopes, dreams and expectations you won’t be happy. Dream, hope, let your imagination fly and simultaneously use your brain, hands and feet in order to make your dreams become reality!
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.
SourceWe often live for others, trying to make them happy by being how they want us to be. We want to wear a mask of what we are not. But you cannot make everyone happy! We have had this experience hundreds of times but still we do the same again and again. Be original and who you are.
SourceSpirituality is very individual, not institutional. Even if you don’t go into a temple or church, you are spiritual, if you believe in love.
SourceLove your body also in the process of getting older. Just as a child has its beauty, age also has its own beauty!
SourceWhen you trust someone, it has to be blind trust. Either you trust or you don't. There is nothing in between, it is always hundred percent.
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.
SourceLove is the soul of our soul. Without it, you can be alive, but your soul is dead. We need love, it is the essence of our essence.
SourceYou don’t need to pretend to be younger than you are. Don’t you see the beauty in so many old people? Your beauty doesn’t come from the outside and doesn’t change if you have a few wrinkles. Be who you are, you are beautiful!
SourcePhysical closeness is the key for successful relationships.
SourceDon't play for winning but for having fun. The aim is not being better and if you lose, there is no reason to be sad. This is the game. Somebody will lose, somebody will win. A game is there for enjoying. Winning and losing is part of the fun.
SourceLove is nothing to show off but it is still something to show to the one you love. Isn’t it beautiful to say or be told ‘I love you’?
SourceYou can never be satisfied with material because there is no limit. There is also no end to love or God. When you are in love you want to feel it more and more. You want to feel God more and more deep.
SourceBe your own master. We have enough to do with mastering ourselves and don’t need anybody else whom we can master.
SourceSilence is very necessary. It is a jewel of life. Most of our energy is consumed by talking. Be silent and save it.
SourceYou can fall in love with anybody, from any caste. Love cannot be controlled. It doesn’t see higher or lower castes!
SourcePeople who blame western culture and women’s clothing for sex crimes in India should take off their shirts and pants, too, because that dress also comes from western culture.
SourceIt is a problem that religion tells in scriptures and culture shows practically that girls should be treated differently than boys. Girls are not as wanted as boys, you get congratulations when you gave birth to a boy while you get looks and words of pity when it is a girl.
