Today Ramona dressed up nicely in the morning and left early with Thomas and Iris to the ‘Indien Haus’, the house of India in Mainz. Today they had a big anniversary celebration there and had Indian food, dance performances and also a raffle with which you could win furniture which they normally sell. And the profit of these raffle tickets goes to the Swami Balendu e.V., our organization here in Germany which supports the charity projects in India. It is a really nice idea and I would wish many people get inspired by this.
We also went there in the evening and enjoyed this atmosphere. It is a big hall and they sell furniture, textiles and decoration from all over Asia but mostly from India. And there you can see how nice it is when cultures meet. So many people enjoy having a bit from another country in their homes. Of course they like to win this, too, so it was a wonderful idea to have this raffle. And people are happy if they can give something for a good cause. It was a long day again and we are all a bit tired but very happy. We met many nice people and some friends, too.

Indians have too many expectations on their women!
SourceIf you leave all religions and just surrender yourself to love, you will be free of the feelings of sin and guilt. Love will liberate you. Choose this path and you will be free from fear.
SourceIn the West, many people live in negative thinking and live in fear with a negative attitude. They are hopeless, suspicious, doubtful and always see the dark side of things. Most of all, they don't enjoy life. Come out of this negativity and see how beautiful life is!
SourceThe idea of sex with the guru is fascinating - it is sex in a spiritual wrapper.
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.
SourceHuman created God and had the wish for him to be the creator of this world.
SourceDon't stop expecting - but learn from disappointments!
SourceThere are many religions and sects in which the leaders and gurus are those who communicate to god for the other ‘normal people’. You can have this relation to God yourself!
SourceForgetting does not mean suppressing! Forgetting means that you know it but it becomes less and less important so that you don’t keep on recalling it again and again.
SourceLove your body also in the process of getting older. Just as a child has its beauty, age also has its own beauty!
SourceReal followers always need someone to follow. When they get disappointed by the person they are following, they search for another one.
SourceIf you embarrass your partner in public, it is a sign of disharmony in relationship.
SourceYou are the best expert for your children!
SourceSilence is very necessary. It is a jewel of life. Most of our energy is consumed by talking. Be silent and save it.
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.
SourcePeople usually don’t lie because they want to harm someone but to hide their thoughts, to hide their feelings, shortly to hide themselves. It is one of the greatest problems that a person can have: low self-esteem.
SourceSuperstitious people don’t trust in themselves or their abilities and decide that it was not their work or talent that brought them money and success but some mysterious force. Obviously this makes them insecure, as they never know when their luck could leave them - so they have to keep on following superstition, trying to remain successful!
SourceMany people of older generations go to church not because of their belief. They go because if they don’t, the neighbours will talk bad or the priest will think they are not religious.
SourceYou need to have enough self-esteem to know that your time and effort is valuable. Don’t let others ignore that and don’t ignore it yourself. If others take advantage of you, it happens because you let them!
SourceThe base for strengthening an emotional connection is physical closeness. For any close emotional relation you need to be close physically.
