Cold Winter Weather in India

Cold Winter Weather in India - 9 Jan 10

09 Jan 2010 Vrindavan, India

Category: Nature

These days it is very cold here. People come to India in winter because they want to escape the cold but India is so big that you can have all different kinds of climates. Some people are sitting and sweating in the sun in the south while others are freezing and shivering in the north in the snow.

The temperatures at the moment are the coldest of the last five years. I also like the cold. In the last years we have been in Germany in this time which was also nice, everything white and snowy. It doesn’t snow here, it doesn’t get that cold but the difference to the feeling in Germany is, that the houses there are heated and here we do have small heaters but the houses are just not made isolated like there. It is also not really necessary, because it only gets cold for some weeks here.

However there are also people who don’t even have the protection of four walls around them. We read in the newspaper that in this winter already more than 300 people died because of the cold. The whole day and night fires are burning and people are sitting around to warm themselves.

Words of Wisdom

Friend

Give value to your relations and the people around you. See and feel their love and love them back. Store their love in your heart. Care for friendship, care for your relations, care for love.
Source
Religion

Religious people who want to be modern try to find a way to combine religion and science because one can survive without religion but not without science.
Source
Followers

I don’t like the word ‘follower’ or ‘disciple’. Guru simply means teacher, so if you have the need for a teacher, a guru, why don’t you call yourself student? Rather than being a follower who follows blindly like a sheep, you should be a student, eager to learn more, enthusiastic for getting more knowledge and experience.

Body

If you feel you are overweight and you are unhappy with it, do something against it! You are the one who has control over your mind and who can shape your body. Take your responsibility and start.
Source
Belief

If you know that something is impossible but you still believe, you either want to close your eyes from reality or you are stupid. You will keep on cheating yourself and others - or will end up disappointed!
Source
Sex

Sexual desire is natural in a healthy body and mind. Not having sexual interest is a sign that something is not right.
Source
Religion

Higher caste Hindus treat lower-caste people as humans of second grade and untouchable. But imagine you are born a lower-caste Hindu. Would you enjoy being a Hindu? Would you be proud and happy to be a member of this religion?
Source
God

I won’t have a problem with your god if he doesn’t take bribes from praying criminals and doesn’t encourage them by giving them success.
Source
Ego

Don’t let your ego keep you from saying sorry. It does not make you small to apologize. Overcome your ego and apologize for the wrong you did.
Source
Belief

How could you, by writing a few lines or talking a few minutes, erase ideas which have been created over the course of many years or were learned while growing up? Change takes place only when a person is ready and really wants to.
Source
Religion

The importance of religion is getting less and less.
Source
Fear

How horrible is such a God who wants to keep people frightened and scared instead of happy as they are. For those who promote this it is good, though – they have based their life on the fear of others.
Source
Responsibility

Everybody’s situation is very individual. If I tell you that it is always good to be honest, it is your responsibility how to use this suggestion. If you decide to be honest, unnecessarily tell your boss that you don’t like him and get fired, I would not think that I was responsible for that!
Source
Rules

I only follow one rule: Break one rule daily. And I believe that we need to get rid of all other rules if we want to live free and with open heart.
Source
Decision

Let your sons and daughters take their own decisions and carry the consequences. Don’t control every little detail but let them get the taste of being adult.
Source
Body

Everybody has a heart and a soul. The body is the temple of our soul, in which it lives and we should be very respectful with it. We should not make an exhibition with it and we should not have rules to hide it. Both is not right and if you do one of both, you are disrespecting your body.
Source
Freedom

If you want to follow a Guru, a master, a sect leader or any kind of belief, don’t have your children affected, too! Give your children the possibility to decide themselves. Show them the normal world, let them develop properly with the full capacity of their mind to be critical, to think about everything themselves and with full emotional abilities, too! Give your child the freedom and the possibility of a healthy, normal lifestyle.
Source
God

Ganesha and Spiderman - in a child's mind two equal superheroes!
Source
Emotions

Whatever you are jealous about, do not fight the feeling, it will only make it worse.
Source
Gurus

Why do you want a guru to take charge over your life?
