Last day before flying to India - 31 Aug 08

Swami Ji and Yashendu

Today was the last day in Germany. We were busy with packing and also with work on our website. Maybe some of you have realized that some changes are going on when they could not see some of the pages of the website. We are in the process of changing server and this might take until tomorrow. We are sorry if some pages do not open at the moment but we hope that in some hours everything should be back to normal and even a bit better. We are looking forward very much to the flight tomorrow. We packed everything that we will take and everything that we will leave here. We have already checked in online and have our boarding passes. In the morning we will start, have a stop at the bakery to get some bread which we will take to India, and at 13:45 our flight leaves Frankfurt in direction Delhi.

We had a wonderful dinner at Sabine’s house. She had cooked a delicious meal and my friends Zelly and Mike joined us in the celebration of our last evening. It was really a great goodbye dinner in lovely company.

Words of Wisdom

  • Respect

    Love never really finishes but respect can finish easily. Don’t let this happen!

    Source
  • Relationship

    Relationships are like hand-painted pictures. Every picture is different and it takes time until you have discovered every small detail that the painter has added.

    Source
  • Spiritual

    You are not done once you have felt you found yourself. This is you today but who will you be tomorrow?

    Source
  • Friend

    A normal friendship means that sometimes you are a bit less close and sometimes you are closer again. You may have different opinions on topics but can still be friends. That is what is normal.

    Source
  • Religion

    Where poverty is widespread, people believe more in religions. They are uneducated but they have hopes and dreams, based on God. Some gurus take advantage of their dreams and suck the little money that they have out of them. Let’s spread education so that they can really live their dreams.

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion started as a tool to explain the inexplicable.

    Source
  • Happiness

    You cannot make everyone happy.

    Source
  • Decision

    When you trust that you were honest and had a good intention, don’t regret your decision or the result.

    Source
  • Sects

    Sects go to extremes - Either lots of sex or no sex at all!

    Source
  • Religion

    Dharma is not religion. Dharma is the tasks that I want to do from my heart, not something that I have to do because I was born to Hindu parents.

    Source
  • Religion

    Corruption in religion is worst because the most corrupt people there show themselves as the purest of ideals that everyone else should follow.

    Source
  • Happiness

    Many poor Indian people are happy and proud even with the little they have. Reduce your needs and learn to be happy with less, even in the abundance of the west.

    Source
  • Religion

    Criminals and people who do wrong live in fear of the consequences of their actions. Religion gives them a good way to find forgiveness. You only need to go to the temple regularly, tell a priest about what you have on your mind, pay some money, say some prayers and you are forgiven. Then you can go out to do the next crime.

    Source
  • Positivity

    Having a positive attitude can help especially in situations when it is difficult for someone else not to fall into a deep hole of negativity.

    Source
  • Parenting

    Isn’t it sad when you practically feel your child has decreased the quality of your relationship with your spouse? That you have to take ‘time off’, childfree time to be with your partner? You cannot enjoy your life as a family well because you experience your time with your child as a burden!

    Source
  • Scriptures

    Men wrote the scriptures saying that women should grieve forever once they are dead. For themselves there is no such rule. They would not have put anything in the scriptures that would cause them a disadvantage!

    Source
  • Scriptures

    If you follow outdated scriptures, you would have to kill a ridiculous amount of people in our daily lives, most of the population would have a ‘painful doom’ and women would behave and be treated very wrong. It just does not fit anymore.

    Source
  • Body

    Most people are focused on the body. Understand that you are not only the body.

    Source
  • Personal

    Swami means master or owner and I believe that I did not give any religion or guru the ownership of myself. I am my own master and owner and in this way I believe there is nothing wrong if I keep the ‘Swami’ in front of my name. And if you are free from any foreign master, I would not object if you did the same.

    Source
  • Expectations

    Don't expect more of yourself than your natural limits allow!
