Today we went to Kaunas for a Darshan. This time it was a really nice place, a yoga centre. We had the Darshan in the garden and it was very peaceful although a lot of people were there. It is always nice to have Darshan in the nature and it makes the atmosphere really special. It helps you so much in the meditation when you are outside and hear the birds chirping. I think all people could also feel the great energy that the surrounding alone creates already. There were flowers in the garden, a small pond and apple trees with nicely ripe apples. A few people were under the trees and a one man was sitting there with crossed legs, the hands lying relaxed in his lap when suddenly an apple fell from the tree and, so smoothly as if someone had planned it, it landed right in his hands.
These are the last days in Lithuania and everything seems to be overbooked and busy. Oksana said that tomorrow there might not even be enough time for cooking because I am busy in healing sessions and Yashendu in astrological readings. So we might have to eat out again between the healing sessions and the Darshan tomorrow.

it is amazing the feeling you get when being in places created especially for pursuits of peace and balance. If only we could go around and spread that feeling to all places.

If a player only enjoyed playing if he won the match, he would not be very happy in his profession. Don’t let your mind stop you from enjoying as much you can!
SourceIf someone has trust and love, they can see God in a sculpture or statue, too. It is the power of their belief and love.
SourceLong-term partners or married couples: feelings are more important than a paper or rituals!
SourceLove should always be unconditional. If there is any condition, it is not really love. If someone leaves because of a condition you don't fulfil, you do not have to feel guilty or have an inferiority complex. Those who really love you, love you how you are, not because of something or a certain quality.
SourceA mistake is something that you learn from. Everybody makes mistakes and it doesn’t make sense to walk through life with this guilt until you leave the earth. Do your best to say sorry, to repair what is broken or to change the way if you made a wrong decision. However don’t carry it around after that otherwise you will be a prisoner of this guilt. Be free.
SourceThe key for a successful relationship is to allow your partner to express his feelings the way he wants. Love is not about owning and controling. Give this freedom to the one you love.
SourceNobody is perfect. But in the eyes of someone who loves you, you are. You don’t stop loving someone because of his faults.
SourceIf you are focused on negativity, you will attract negativity. You should be focused on positivity, then you will attract positive things for your life. It can be difficult to rebuild positivity but it is necessary in order to be happy.
SourceWhenever a scripture of any religion recommends physical punishment, it was written by a man who enjoyed that women and children cannot resist and are physically weaker.
SourceSexual feeling is just innocent and a part of your body. With your body growing, your feelings also get more mature with age.
SourceAtheists don’t feel guilty for things that they have not done and which was not under their control but accept consequences of their own actions and wrong decisions.
SourceThe fact that non-Hindus are not allowed in Hindu temples is racism in religion.
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.
Source‘Sadhu’ or ‘Sanyasi’ means detached. Today's Sadhu ridiculously contradicts his title with his display of gold and wealth!
SourceReligious preaching is a performing art, not a divine act.
SourceYou are what you eat. If you eat meat, you take the animal's energy into your body and thus people become more and more like animals.
SourceAt some point everybody needs to take his own responsibility and act according to what makes him happy. If you tried to make everyone around you happy, you would never succeed but forget your own fun and joy! You should never make the happiness of others more important than your own happiness, otherwise you will make yourself unhappy – and won’t be able to help others!
SourceEgo can make you blind so that you are not able to see the truth which will affect your decisions.
SourceFall in love often. And not only with people, no, fall in love with a smell, fall in love with a colour, love the moment. Love the way how a person talks, love how friendly your neighbour is, love it that your body feels healthy. This will help you to live in a positive way.
SourceGurus with business interests made it possible to convert to Hinduism!
