I already said that it is getting cold here now and it is really but in daytime it is still nicely warm in the sun and many people sit outside and enjoy the sunrays on their face.
We also enjoy walking in our garden and on one of these rounds Yashendu stopped to talk to the gardener and he saw someone whom he had not seen before. It was the gardener’s son Shekar. Yashendu asked for his age and heard that he was eight years old. In the further conversation he got to know that the boy has never been to school because in the different places that his father worked he just didn’t have the possibility to send the boy to any school. So Yashendu told him that the boy should come to our school tomorrow.
Now there is the possibility and now he should really take the chance and come to school. His father anyway comes in the morning so his father can bring him, he is not far away and he can learn something. He doesn’t even know the abc or counting from one to twenty.
This is a great chance and seeing the condition of this family we are all just happy that we are able to provide education to this boy. We are also grateful to those who make it possible, everyone who decided to sponsor a child or several and those who help by sponsoring the food for a day.

Be honest, even if you know the other one won't be happy about your answer!
SourceDiscipline is very important in our nutrition. Eat when you are hungry. Hunger can be in the eyes and in the mind, too, not only in your belly. Learn to distinguish that.
SourceIn western cultures family relations and love relations are often destroyed by ego, when all energy is spent on destroying, creating problems and separation.
SourceReligion destroys the lives of children!
SourceYoga is only yoga. Without any tradition’s name in front or behind. People have to understand the essence, the real meaning of yoga which is not any specific style and not only physical exercise.
SourceThe engineers and architects of erotic sculptures in temples all over India had not come from the west, they were Indians! So don't blame the west for being sexually explicit - it is a part of ancient Indian culture, too!
SourceDevotees are told to be humble, surrender, finish their ego and do what their guru says - he will take care of your Karma account so you have to give him all rights to it. Easy but so dangerous!
SourceReligion is a firm and strict structure whereas spirituality is soft and flowing. Religion presses into clear and edgy shapes whereas spirituality makes round and soft. Religion comes from the mind and spirituality from the heart.
SourceWhy should sex be forbidden? Can sex, being physically united in love, keep you from being in higher consciousness? On the contrary, suppressing your sexual feelings does not bring you closer to God!
SourceHappiness should be our normal state of mind.
SourceI don’t like the word ‘follower’ or ‘disciple’. Guru simply means teacher, so if you have the need for a teacher, a guru, why don’t you call yourself student? Rather than being a follower who follows blindly like a sheep, you should be a student, eager to learn more, enthusiastic for getting more knowledge and experience.
SourceHuman is just a puppet in a big play. You think you are in charge but there is something bigger than you. Nature, god, the universe, however you want to call it. Even if you know your body, you don’t have full control over it. Nobody knows when, what can happen. Nobody can predict anything.
SourceYou should have enough confidence in yourself and your actions to know that what you do is right. Do your best, with love and your full effort and you have the possibility to be happy.
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.
SourceIndia does not need entertainment events that cost Billions of Dollars while every minute five poor Indians die of hunger and about half of Indian’s children below five are malnourished.
SourceGod lives in the heart and can come wherever you want. Temples and religious buildings are the centers of the business of religion where they see religious people as cows and milk them for money and donations, even by selling tickets. The more money you have, the quicker you can see God and the more blessings you get.
SourceCheating gurus play with the greed of religious people who want to believe in superstition. They lure them in, show them their ‘siddhis’ to make them more and more greedy for success or money and actually suck their money out of them. And in this way they themselves get rich, accumulate tons of gold and just make ridiculous amounts of money.
SourceMany religions say that women can be beaten, can be used and even donated.
SourceIf I am god, you are god and we all are god, whom are you preaching to?
SourceNo, you cannot love God even approximately as much as your family! How could you? He is not like your mother or father who take you in their arms for security or comfort. It is your mother's smell, her noises, the feeling of her touch that becomes imprinted in your mind and most importantly in your heart. Not God’s smell, noise or touch. It is impossible that you ever have the great love for God that you have for your family!
