Yesterday I already told you that we would start early to Chicago. And it was very early. At 3:45 am the airport shuttle was there to pick us up and we said goodbye to Jeremy. I don’t know how many times I have already written, that it is sad to say goodbye. We really enjoyed the time in New York with Suann and Jeremy.
In Chicago we were welcomed by Shayna and so it is always like this: you are sad when saying goodbye but there are many hellos, too. And we will be back in New York in September. I got very nice response to the last day’s diary entries and I hope that some people will change their habits and begin living in a healthier way. It is anyway the best to cook your food yourself instead of eating readymade. We went shopping today to get all our ingredients for the wonderful meal that we cooked in the evening. It was very delicious. Now we are tired after this long day and will go to bed soon.

Even greater is to bless one's food before ingesting, Iit's source is ultimately common; only the path differs slightly. Thank you Swami!

In my opinion, the farther away we get from nature when it comes to food (or lifestyle), the more alien it is to our bodies who came from and were designed by nature. It really pleases me to use very basic unprocessed ingredients and make dinner from it every day. Whether dried chickpeas or beans grown in the garden..... And lets face it, in this ... See Moreeconomic climate = why pay someone else to chemically/mechanically process food when we can safely rustle something up in the kitchen much cheaper ourselves.

Swami ji, I so agree with your comments about the sad way that many modern Americans eat, especially the children. Even hospitals that should be serving healthy living foods, often serve over processed and over salted dead food to people that so desperately need the vital ingredients of life-giving whole and healthy foods. Hopefully many of us are ... See Morerealizing how important a good diet is for health, not only for our own bodies but our societies as well. This is a time for education and change to spread.

Believers should study their belief. Find out in depth what is written in scriptures and if you find things you don’t like, ask yourself if you can really blindly accept them as religion asks you to.
SourceYou share everything with everybody and everybody shares everything with you. Just out of love. In this case the source is love, not ego. When you want to share your happiness with others and want to share other peoples’ pain, sharing is a great and positive thing.
SourceIt is nothing new that this society is focused on money. It is nothing new that the masses don’t care about the individual. But what about you? Why are you playing along?
SourceIf 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.
SourceGod is there for you in every moment and he does what is best for you.
SourceThe fact that non-Hindus are not allowed in Hindu temples is racism in religion.
SourceIn the history of mankind, many religions have died and with time, the present religions will become a part of history as well.
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.
SourceScriptures were written by men, in a male-dominated society, when war, killing and fighting was a daily occurrence, when people were tortured, women were beaten and slaves were being held. You cannot call that holy.
SourceEnjoy your uniqueness, enjoy being you!
SourceI 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.
SourceWhy do we need a tragedy to stop believing in God?
SourceSpirituality does not tell you to break the hearts of others by breaking all bonds. Of course you can go the path of spirituality with the relations that God gave to you. You can take them along on your way instead of breaking their hearts.
SourceOur body is the temple of our soul. Our soul, our god lives in it and we need to respect it and take care of it. Listen to it and only eat when you are hungry. Take care of what you eat, eat healthy food, eat vegetarian. Your stomach is not a garbage box. Fill it with nice things, not with junk food or fast food.
SourceMaybe you are sad because you still love the other one and he or she doesn’t want to be with you but you still have to love your love! Don’t be angry with yourself for this feeling and don’t switch into hate because of this advice. It is okay to follow your heart.
SourceWhy is a woman’s virginity or her sexual purity called her honour?
SourceIndians have too many expectations on their women!
SourceHow 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.
SourceImportant is not how rich you are but how happy you are.
SourceThere is always something good in everything.
