Yesterday we had a Prem meditation in Houston. Lola and her husband Kevin took us to Roz’s and Steve’s house. Roz runs a charity organization called ‘yoga for Peace’ and was happy that she could invite us so that other yoga teachers and people interested in yoga could get to know us.
Yashendu gave a beautiful meditation which everybody enjoyed very much and after that I explained the participants about our school and the children whom we support. At the moment they have summer holidays but on 1st July school will start again. So I told people that our children come from poor families, and that they can only send their children to our school because it is for free and because we also offer food.
I explained about our child sponsorship program and the food sponsorships and in the end I simply invited everybody to come and look at our work themselves. Because only then you can really see and feel what we are doing there.
We were happy that many people told us they were now thinking to come to India one day to visit us and there was also a spontaneous sponsor for a child: Roz and Steve, who had invited us for that beautiful day, sponsored a child. We want to thank them, everybody who was there yesterday and everybody else who supports our projects. Together we have the aim of helping those who are in need, if that is through our charity projects or through spreading the wisdom and love of Yoga as Roz does with her non-profit organization, too. In the end again, it is all about love.

What is a Prem meditation? I think it is beautiful that meditation is something we can share with people all over the world. You don't have to speak the same language, look the same, or even be in the same place! We can meditate together, worldwide, and share the spiritual realm as the guiding force that connects us all.

That sounds great! I really love reading about what you're doing, I'd also love to come to India someday and see it for myself. God bless.

SourcePeople have to develop their consciousness and stop killing animals to fill their stomach. They have a soul like us and god is in them, too.
SourceAtheists say ‘God is only a thought’. But what is wrong with having a good thought?
SourceLow self-esteem lets people worry about what others think of them. Don't try to be perfect in your action and reaction. You are perfect as you are.
SourceAll is a game of necessity in this world. If you feel a person or place doesn’t need you, leave it immediately and reach somewhere where you are needed. Never leave those who need you. If you want to be happy and respected, become necessary and useful.
SourcePolygamous relationships don’t really work. If you are really in love with someone, you will be jealous, you won’t be able to avoid that! If you love your partner, it is impossible!
SourceThere should be four steps to a relationship: First you get to know someone, after that you trust him, the third step is love and the fourth step is a relationship. You cannot trust someone without knowing him. Trust is the base for love. And a relationship should be built on love!
SourceAnything can be meditation if you are there with your full awareness.
SourceBelief in god is not a comfort after tragic events like rape!
SourceWhenever you limit God to certain actions or places, corruption starts because there will be someone who owns the place or who sells services for getting closer to God.
SourceOfficially, all Indians are virgins when they marry.
SourceTalking about love and falling in love are two different things. Do you remember when you fell in love for the first time, how happy you were and how you could not stop smiling? :)
SourcePeople put a label on everything, on themselves and everybody else, creating limitations! We are all the same, have the same soul and live on the same planet.
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.
SourceWhy do you eat Pig and Cow but not your Dog?
SourceLong-term partners or married couples: feelings are more important than a paper or rituals!
SourceCome out of your system, sect or religion to see what is wrong with it.
SourceLove is nothing to show off but it is still something to show to the one you love. Isn’t it beautiful to say or be told ‘I love you’?
SourceTake a step to make relations closer: call the other one your Friend!
SourceA lot of doctors close their practices on Thursday due to superstition! People and doctors both think a doctor's visit on a Thursday means another doctor's visit later! They study, they learned a lot of science and they know about the body, its diseases and cures – but that does not keep them from believing that Thursdays are bad days!
