I cut off my dreadlocks and shaved my hair and this fits well with all the changes going on around us. You might already know that with the new school year we have many children more and now it is 125 children who daily come to our school to learn and to eat.
I heard from Purnendu before that there are now so many children but it is different to see it with my own eyes. Of course it is beautiful that they all have a possibility to learn for their future but I also see how our expenses have increased this year. We needed to extend the school building and had a water cooler and filter installed so that the children now can drink clean and fresh water when they are thirsty.
Each day they are looking forward to their warm lunch around noon. If you have a look into the kitchen two hours before, you will see several people busily peeling and chopping potatoes or rolling chapattis, the Indian flat bread which is a must for each meal here. Each day they peel 25 kilogram of potatoes and roll chapattis out of 25 kilogram of wheat flour so that we can feed 200 people.
In this time I would like to ask you for your support for these charity projects. You can sponsor one or more children or sponsor the food for all of them or just give a contribution. Every small donation helps filling the stomachs and buying books, pencils and school uniforms for the children.
I would love to support you and your life in return, whether it is by giving you a healing session when I am in your town or by sending you your personal Mantra. Day after tomorrow, the 14th October, is my birthday. I already started receiving birthday greetings and was asked by many people if I didn’t have a wish, something they could do for me. If you ask me, I would say I don’t need anything, but I would be more than happy if you could give your support to our children.

Celina has brought chocolate and fizzy sweets for the children and distributed them during lunch.

Unhappy? Not satisfied? A change of Perception might help! Life is beautiful, you just need to see it from the right place!
SourceFall in love often. And not only with people, no, fall in love with a smell, fall in love with a colour, love the moment. Love the way how a person talks, love how friendly your neighbour is, love it that your body feels healthy. This will help you to live in a positive way.
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.
SourceDon’t be overprotective. Lack of self-esteem, indecision and also problems with getting into company of others are the consequences. Don’t overprotect, give freedom and let them make their experiences. They will shape the world of tomorrow, so don’t try to press them into your world. Let them free.
SourceThe fact that non-Hindus are not allowed in Hindu temples is racism in religion.
SourceI believe the concept of open relationships is against human nature. If you continue your sexual relationship for a longer time, you will develop feelings and that is the point where jealousy can happen, too! If you love someone, if you feel for someone and this person sleeps with someone else, it is natural that you get jealous!
SourceLove at first sight happens because you have love inside you. Something triggers it, it starts to flow and you fall in love.
SourceNow you are an adult and you can take your own responsibility in your hands, even if you feel your parents were overprotective. Leave this past behind. This world is not evil and not that dangerous at all. It is there to enjoy.
SourceHuman always wants to believe what is suitable and comfortable for them.
SourceWords have limits. Love and Emotions are endless.
SourceReligions explain that women should be obedient, submissive and not displaying or enhancing their beauty, that people of another belief are to be killed, how non-believers would be tortured and how they would suffer before their death and in the afterlife or next life.
SourceThe newage movement is like a religion reformed. People turned away from religion, choose one direction, be that card-reading, angels or past lives and then stick to it. It is nothing else than a religion in which you have a certain philosophy and won’t move away from it in your thinking.
SourceAtheists don’t feel guilty for things that they have not done and which was not under their control but accept consequences of their own actions and wrong decisions.
SourceHow would you describe spirituality? And what can you get from reading someone’s experience? For you, spirituality can be very different. And that is truth.
SourceYou belong to god, you belong to love. You don’t need to belong to anyone or anything which manipulates your mind and where you lose your freedom of being yourself.
SourceI personally like the God of nonbelievers more than the God of believers. He is a thought, a good thought, is in my heart and in my mind. I made him myself. I created him how I wanted him to be. He is mine. That is why I love him and why I also believe in him.
SourceWhy do you fight!? If you need God, he exists for you. If you don’t, he doesn’t exist for you.
SourceIt is nothing new that this society is focused on money. It is nothing new that the masses don’t care about the individual. But what about you? Why are you playing along?
SourceEverybody modifies religion to his comfort, gives his interpretation, creates his own tradition and opens his shop for selling god and religion.
SourceDon't like your job? - Change it or start liking it!
