Category: Charity
A few days ago our friends Christina and Roland arrived here at the Ashram. They flew to India from Switzerland and are now enjoying the warmth in India. In one of their workshops in Spain they asked the participants and their friends to donate for our charity projects and they brought the money with them so that it could sponsor today’s food for the children of the school and the kindergarten.
As both of them are teachers they are very interested in our school. They were touched to see these children and also invited their friends to contribute a donation in the Christmas time. If you believe your friends would be happy to know that children have a better future because of your Christmas present, the sponsoring of the food for a day or of a child could be a gift option. With your support our projects are growing but still 50% of our children do not have a sponsor yet and they all daily eat at the Ashram. This is how we are happy about every donation and every sponsor.
So if you think like our friends Roland and Christina, maybe your friends would also enjoy seeing how the children love the food, how they enjoy reading and writing in the school and how this gives a sparkle of hope for a better future in every heart.

I think this is very much affordable for lots of people in the world. It is heart warming to see how happy the children look when they come to the Ashram for their meals. Sponsoring their food is a wonderful act of kindness that is much needed and appreciated.

Look at those precious dears. Laughter and singing should always be present in a child's life.#

It's 96 euros to sponser two hundred children for food for a day, wow! That is only a euro for every two children!

Why don't more people do this? It could be so easily afforded.

Is this not a funny attitude that some hours of bad mood have to exist in one day, too?
SourceAddiction is mainly a question of the mind. People can spend half a day on a flight without any cigarette but on the ground they cannot survive an evening without smoking. If you can spend half a day without it, it is also possible a full day, a week, a month, a year or the rest of your life. It is a question of the mind and the determination.
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if he doesn’t take bribes from praying criminals and doesn’t encourage them by giving them success.
SourceWhy do we need to pretend to be who we are not?
SourceOur negativity lives on our back. It is difficult for us to see but we need to explore it. We can easily see the back of another person. Work on seeing and reducing your own negativity.
SourceDo what you feel is right. Yes, you may need some more courage to face a few more storms than others. It might get uncomfortable sometimes but it would be much more uncomfortable for you to go against what you really want to do.
SourceIt is easy to cheat God and his believers on the name of religious tradition.
SourceIt is the path of devotion and love when you can say to your God ‘Wherever I am, whoever I am, I am yours.’ Then you have surrendered yourself and offered yourself to God. For this you need closeness.
SourceIf someone rapes a girl, how come her honour is gone? It should be the other way around! He loses his honour by doing this crime!
SourceBeauty is not about physical appearance. We are not only the body, there is a soul and a beautiful soul is much more important than figure, colour or shape.
SourceDear unmarried, Indian young people: Take the decisions of your life on your own. You need to take your responsibility for your marriage, you cannot blame your parents forever for your life.
SourceWhen shopping becomes an addiction like gambling, when your house gets more and more full, when you walk in the city and realize that you already have everything in those shops full of useless things, it is time to rethink on what you spend your money.
SourceSuperstitious people lose a big part of their freedom! They cannot take any decision on their own but have kept their minds a prison of their superstition! They have sold their intelligence to this nonsense! They could be so much happier in their lives without superstition!
SourceThe only good reason for the wish to have a child is because you have love in your heart and you want to share it with a child. You want to give a child the happiness that you feel when you are loved and when you can love someone.
SourceIsn’t it crazy how religion is often only a way to manipulate people? Just tell people often enough that something is God’s wish and they will believe it!
SourceReligion is outdated from today’s point of view because we have found the answers to the questions due to which religion was created in the first place! Only manipulation and fear is left together with ancient, bloody scriptures – so you should leave religion and it should be buried as a relic of the past.
SourceI welcome, not only in my home but in my life, those people who either don’t have any expectations or whose expectations I can fulfill. I want people in my life who respect my feelings and care for my happiness as well as their own happiness. I apply a filter at the entrance to my heart, too, so that I can let those in who will make me happy and whom I can make happy.
SourceJealousy is just a natural emotion. If you feel jealous, allow it. If you struggle or fight with it, it will irritate you more. You can be jealous, but realize that it is not a grown-up emotion. Realize your feeling, accept it and let it go again. If there was a justified reason for it, express it. If it was not, express it to yourself and then let it go. There is no sense in being upset about the fact that you have this feeling.
SourceIs spirituality something that you can learn, like mathematics or commerce? Don’t you think that being in love and living with honesty is true spirituality?
SourceGuru is not a title, it is a relation like brother or father. Swami is a title for a spiritual person. This is the difference.
