Category: Charity
When Thomas and Iris were in India they had a task: they had to buy clothes and jewellery for a bazaar of a church community in Wiesbaden of which the profit should go to our children charity projects. They brought many things and today the bazaar started. They told a lot about our projects, about the children here, about the literacy rate generally in India and about the things that they had brought from Vrindavan. Thomas also played Sitar and in the next days the bazaar will go on, people will buy and read and listen.
It is really great that this is going on, lots of thanks to Thomas and Iris who put lots of effort in this help. And maybe this can be an inspiration for other people, an idea about how you can help our projects. It is not only help by donating, you can help by giving others the idea to organize, to sell something or to come here and see themselves what is going on here.
And Ramona, who is going to school every day to improve her Hindi, tells me each day how happy it makes her to see how much the children learn and how they start speaking English with her.

Corruption in religion is worst because the most corrupt people there show themselves as the purest of ideals that everyone else should follow.
SourceThere are no Siddhis or supernatural powers. I challenge anybody to show me those powers and their effect, good or bad. Can you tell me the lottery numbers or can you kill me only by the force of your mind? Try it.
SourceJudging is good and necessary. Use your general knowledge, your mind, your intelligence and also your feelings. You can ask experts, research on the internet and find out more if needed. Get an opinion and don’t be afraid of others criticizing it. Maybe this fear prevents people from judging, too. Have self-confidence and say what you think is right and what is wrong in your eyes.
SourceNever feel like a sinner. God does not punish you, he loves you.
SourceLove is the most therapeutic energy.
SourceIf you forgive yourself a mistake, why don’t you forgive others for the same? Forgiveness will give you satisfaction and peace.
SourceIt is easy to cheat God and his believers on the name of religious tradition.
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if he makes clear that poverty, hunger, war and rape is not happening by his wish.
SourceDoes a mother need a rosary to remember her child? Does a wife need to sit in a certain pose or condition to think of her husband? If love is there, you don’t need to do any effort for meditation, it takes place itself. You won’t find God, who is love, with rituals, ceremonies and donations but with love.
SourceMany times relationships fail because there is no physical closeness. A relationship doesn’t work over phone or over internet. A lot of people try but our human nature is that you need someone close to you for a real connection.
SourceSadhu or Sanyasi means detached. Today's Sadhu ridiculously contradicts his title with his display of gold and wealth!
SourceSometimes the outcome is simply not in our control, so stop thinking about what could have happened if you had taken another decision.
SourceEvery Non-Believer is too stupid to understand Religion! – Really?
SourceIt is your own decision how you want to spend your life. You can live a true and honest life. Take your decision and have the courage!
SourceReligion has created social structure - and now we have the ‘untouchable’ caste!
SourceGive value to your relations and the people around you. See and feel their love and love them back. Store their love in your heart. Care for friendship, care for your relations, care for love.
SourceThere is a difference in between friends and customers. Customers want something from you. Friends want you.
SourceGoing to the temple or to church regularly does not make you religious. You are religious when you have compassion in your heart for helping others, when you wish them well and give your effort to make this wish come true.
SourceReligion practically teaches you to feel guilty for something that you have not done and which you really cannot influence in any way.
SourceIn my relationship I want to give the command of my life and my heart to the one I love. Now you can guide me because I know you, I trust you, in your love, you will do best for me.
