Category: Family
Today early in the morning, at 4:30, we finally arrived in Vrindavan. It is warm and humid but it is wonderful to be back. Of course, it is always wonderful to be home. We unpacked the things we brought for my family and for Kanu. We played with him and enjoyed the first day here. We are all very tired but that will be okay tomorrow after one night’s sleep.
Today I read in a newspaper that there are many viral infects in the villages nearby. They assume that it is the aftermath of the flood. In our district 49 people died of these viruses. We are planning to make a medical camp in the next days to distribute free medicine and to prevent any really serious diseases in Vrindavan or the surroundings. We will of course keep the website up to date and also add more pictures.

Isn't it always the mot wonderful feeling when you get home? No matter what wonderful places you've been or what lovely things you have done, home is always the best place to be.

It's very interesting that a natural disaster, such as a flood, could also bring viruses to the people. It seems like so much destruction at once. I learned that, in the 1600's, the Black Plague was a terrible virus that was killing hundreds of people daily in London. The thing that actually ended the plague was a terrible fire that destroyed much of the city... a blessing in disguise. The ways of nature can be very interesting. Ramona looks so beautiful in this photo, laughing. :)

You are not responsible for everything and everybody. Relax, lean back and watch what others are doing. It is fine, enjoy whatever comes!
SourceYou cannot tell someone to love but you can be proud of your own love. Love your feelings, love and celebrate your love. You have to love yourself and be proud of the love that you can give to others. Never stop loving yourself in this frustration. At the right time you will meet the right person, there is nothing wrong with you and you don’t need to try stopping your love. Don’t create any guilt. Your love is great.
SourceKeep an open mind and don't decide how something will be before it happens. In this way you keep yourself from having fun and being happy. Let it happen and then decide. It is more fun!
SourceNot any belief is good or bad, no person is good or bad and no place is good or bad. It is only your perception.
SourceReligious make-up and getup doesn’t make a person holy.
SourceReligion is like politics. It is a dictatorship with the Guru or leader being the dictator setting the rules. Start a spiritual revolution and come out of this suppression. Go towards real spirituality, towards democracy, where your voice is being heard.
SourceSuperstitious people let superstition rule their complete lives! The funny thing is that they won’t even notice while a non-believer watching them will think they have completely lost their minds!
SourceFear is an illusion and it spoils your life. If you are afraid, you cannot enjoy. You are fine and you are able to cope with the situations that life brings you. Have trust in whatever is out there in this universe. The whole world is there for you, not against you. Let your fear go. Live.
SourceOnly those who are not respectable can be disrespectful towards others because they don’t know the value of respect themselves.
SourceGod is the soul of our souls and lives in everybody in the form of love.
SourceAccept yourself as you are. You can follow a good and healthy example but don't go in any competition. You are fine as you are.
SourceA friend is someone who lends you his shoulder and is standing with you in every situation.
SourceHuman worship in any religion and culture is always wrong.
SourceThere is a difference in between friends and customers. Customers want something from you. Friends want you.
SourceIt is stupid to try and make others believe what you believe. Never try to change anybody’s belief.
SourceWhen there are no formalities necessary anymore, you know that it is a close friendship and love.
SourceBookish knowledge only creates confusion
SourceIt is your awareness of the moments. When you are hurrying, you are just focused on what you are doing, to do it as quick as possible and the moments go by without you noticing them. When you are waiting, you are really aware of each moment, you feel each moment, each breath that you take. Both ways can be meditation.
SourceCome out of your system, sect or religion to see what is wrong with it.
SourceDon't take everything personal!
