It seems like it is shaving season at the Ashram. Today in the morning Suraj came with a bald head into the room, put his hand on his head and said in Hindi ‘Hair is gone!’
Yesterday I said how great the life of the children here is and each day I laugh about it how clever they are. Kanu, who saw that we three brothers and his own brother had their heads shaved, told Nitin, one of the Ashram students that I wanted him to take Kanu to the barber to get his hair cut, too. He said him to come to the office. There I was sitting without knowing anything. Kanu came in and informed me ‘Nitin is here.’ I didn’t know why and just answered ‘Okay.’ The clever boy asked ‘Shall I go then?’ and I thought he asked if he should leave the office and replied with yes. Nitin, who was standing in the door thought that I told Kanu to go to the barber and this is how Kanu got his wish: I didn’t know anything, and Nitin, thinking that I said this, took him to the barber, his head was shaved and he came back proudly with a bald head, smiling and laughing.
I had to laugh so much about the cleverness of this four year old boy! Now we have five bald heads in the Ashram. So take care if you are planning to come, you could be next!

That's funny! This shows us, that we should never underestimate the children around us and to take them seriously. They are more capable than we think ;)

Dear Yashendu, this looks great! Hope you are doing well. Could you tell me if Shivam Sharma also has been affected by your recent "virus"?

Don't worry Lorraine, we didn't shave any women or girls :) So your granddaughter is safe!

We all have to be like children. We need to find our inner child which is innocent and has the freedom to express.
SourceBreaking with someone causes pain, hurts and makes people feel bad. If there is any way to avoid it, please do.
SourceAnything can be meditation if you are there with your full awareness.
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.
SourceReligion started as a tool to explain the inexplicable.
SourceVideo games taught children that violence and rioting is fun! They learned how it should look like when you break into a store and when they see that it works, they get greedy and steal mobile phones, game consoles, electronics and more. I think violent video games have encouraged teenagers to see this all as fun!
SourceKarma is in many ways just a very easy way for irresponsible people to accept bad events and not try to change anything in their behavior or their thinking.
SourceYoga and Meditation help you lose Weight
SourceGurus with business interests made it possible to convert to Hinduism!
SourceOur body is the temple of our soul. Our soul, our god lives in it and we need to respect it and take care of it. Listen to it and only eat when you are hungry. Take care of what you eat, eat healthy food, eat vegetarian. Your stomach is not a garbage box. Fill it with nice things, not with junk food or fast food.
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if he doesn’t think that women are less intelligent, inauspicious and less worth than men, as it is written in every religion’s books.
SourceSome people don’t show unconditional appreciation for something even though they really like it. Maybe they want to prove that they are able to do corrections!
SourceThe explanation of why healing works is not important. Important is your experience.
SourceGod is the soul of our souls and lives in everybody in the form of love.
SourcePeople say scriptures cannot be changed. Okay, but then why do you need to follow them?
SourceMany people in the ‘spiritual scene’ change very quickly and are not stable in their opinion because they are never sure but always in doubt.
SourceScriptures and religion install fear of magic and ghosts in children and adults.
SourceHatha Yoga is food for the body, Gyan Yoga is food for the mind and Bhakti Yoga is food for the soul. Like this you get the full package.
SourceYou can often hear someone say after their first night ‘It was really a good night, I had wonderful sex’. This doesn\'t mean they did anything special. It is amazing because sex itself is such a great thing. It is not the quality of the woman and the man, it is the quality of sex itself.
SourceReligions tell women that they have to cover their heads and even faces with a veil or a burqa because men could get aroused by seeing their faces and imagining a vagina.
