Category: Really nothing
Yesterday we had a beautiful evening with Su and Jeremy. We walked to their apartment and then had a salad and afterwards a great ice-cream at Times Square. It was like a celebration of our last evening in New York before we fly to Texas.
Today in the morning we got ready and then set off to fly to Houston where Lola and Kevin picked us up. Lola invited us to do healing sessions, spiritual counseling, meditations and yoga workshops at her yoga studio. After doing some shopping they dropped us at their friends’ house where we will now stay with the very nice family of Joanne and Jeff.
We are tired after travelling and the more than three hour flight and Ramona said ‘let us just write a few lines and put it into the category really nothing’. So maybe you will find, this diary entry is missing some wise message, that’s how it comes into our popular ‘really nothing’ category, but maybe you will also find it nice just to get to know about our travelling.

Maybe there is information about this somewhere else that I couldn't find, but how do you get in contact with these people who's houses you stay in while traveling? Are people interested in hosting able to volunteer?

Dear Sally, You can always look on our Calendar what is our program and there you also find the organizers' information: http://www.jaisiyaram.com/Calendar/events/ You can call them and fix an appointment or also ask them if you can help them with organizing. We are always happy about people who want to help. If you want to host in your town and don't see us coming there soon, you can first read this page: http://www.jaisiyaram.com/organizers.htm And we will be happy to come!

Religions explain that women should be obedient, submissive and not displaying or enhancing their beauty, that people of another belief are to be killed, how non-believers would be tortured and how they would suffer before their death and in the afterlife or next life.
SourceReligious 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.
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.
SourceIt does not show intelligence if you make an easy topic difficult to understand but if you can present a difficult topic in easy words.
SourcePeople are not very sensitive towards their own feelings and the feelings of others anymore. It is the biggest loss of today’s time: the loss of sensitivity.
SourceYou are loveable, lovely and loving. You don’t need to do any change to yourself to please another person. You don’t need to play a role or wear a mask. This world is so big and there are so many different people in this world that it is normal if a few don’t agree with you or don’t like you. Stop comparing and just be yourself.
SourceI cannot understand how anybody or any religion can see woman as second-rate. A woman brings you to this earth, how can she be less worth? Without her, how could you exist?
SourceDon't try to convince others - they have to make their own experience.
SourceYou cannot convert to Hinduism without disregarding a basic Hindu concept.
SourceIf you always only think of the happiness of others, you forget your own happiness. When you have established your own happiness with what you do and with who you are, when you accept your heart, your personality and your own life, then you can help others to find their happiness.
SourceDon’t be afraid, there are no such things as Siddhis! Speak out without fear and don’t let gurus cheat more people by claiming to have supernatural powers!
SourceIt is wrong if a guru is not only a person to learn from but someone to worship. When people put pictures of the guru onto their altars and pray for them, when followers wash the feet of the guru and then drink the water, when gurus have their statues made and sell them and when scriptures tell people that they can only be liberated if they have a guru.
SourceWhy do you eat Pig and Cow but not your Dog?
SourceLove is the only supernatural power that exists and we all have access to it. You just need to open your heart and let it flow.
SourceHaving a positive attitude can help especially in situations when it is difficult for someone else not to fall into a deep hole of negativity.
SourceYoga and Meditation help you lose Weight
SourceYou say something else than you think and feel. And you do something completely different. You don’t do what you think and you don’t think what you say. You don’t say what you do and you don’t do what you say. These three things are separate from each other although they should be same: our inside, our thoughts and feelings, our talk and our actions.
SourceIf you are attached to something, you cannot leave expectations and your ego. Attachment always raises expectations.
SourceInsecurity and lack of self-confidence makes people search for a guru.
SourceInsecurity in life makes you need assurance by others!
