Today is our friend Thomas’s birthday and we and all children send him much love and the best wishes also for the next year of his life!
It was nice to see, when we informed our children that today is Thomas’ birthday, many of them just said ‘Oh Thomas Uncle!’ and remembered him. They started smiling and talking about the things that he had showed them. Each time when he is here and we have a program, he does some mimicry and they try to imitate him.
It is so beautiful to see this personal connection. This is what children need and they also look for that love. They look for someone who likes to joke with them, to spend time with them and who loves them. They will remember the time that they spent with this person.
This is how all children had a lot of fun singing the birthday song for Thomas who also sponsored their food today. He and Iris are sponsors of two children, come each year to visit us and all children and celebrate their birthdays at the Ashram by a sponsorship even if they cannot be here in that time. It is beautiful to have this connection in between us, the children and them and we all are looking forward to having them here again in October.
You can also sponsor a child or sponsor food for children here in the Ashram in India.

Swami Ji, I have been following your diary for about 6 months now and decided to look through some entries I missed. I wanted to let you know that what you share means a lot to me.

The fact that millions of people follow something is no proof that this action is good. Many people followed Hitler, too, but you cannot say that he was right!
SourceIsn’t it strange that it is offending if a normal person shows his genitals in public while religious men get worldwide fame for it?
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.
SourceHow can you expect a change from others if you cannot change yourself?
SourceYou cannot share closeness, intimacy and trust with hundreds of people at the same time.
SourceIf you make relationships and break up after one week, I call it experience, not love. It is your search, looking for love. So many people can come and go, an ongoing process until you find love. But love never finishes.
SourceGod can be your friend whom you trust, with whom you can share everything and who can be mother, father, son or daughter to you.
SourceWhat is special in any part of the body? Everybody has the same body parts. You do not need to do extra effort for hiding anything and not for exhibiting, either. Why can’t we just be normal and natural?
SourceNobody knows what will happen in the future. If we knew what would happen tomorrow, the whole mystery, the adventure, the surprise and the beauty of life would be gone!
SourceDon’t leave anybody for too long, otherwise they get used to living without you.
SourceLove never really finishes but respect can finish easily. Don’t let this happen!
SourceMaking love does not only mean sexual activities. Hug someone, create a lovely atmosphere and just love someone. Letting your love flow is making love for me.
SourceThe aim of each prayer is getting close to God. A prayer can be in any form. Different religions suggest different ways of praying and those who did not learn any way of praying, like children, have their own prayers.
SourceLife is short, live it! Do what you always wanted to do! Say it! Make it reality! You are the one in charge of your life. Love your life and live it!
SourceIf you think it is clothes that are responsible for rape, what were 2-year-old babies wearing when they were raped which aroused men so that he had no other possibility than raping them? Where did they go, in which bar or disco?
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.
SourceConstant criticism or negativity is never appreciated, even if it is said in seemingly nice words.
SourceIndians have too many expectations on their women!
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.
SourceReligion is entertainment for the rich and not necessary for the poor. You have to do ceremonies, go to the temple, give donations, that all costs money. Poor people think of food, only well-off people think of religion.
