Yesterday it was the world day of vegetarianism. The day before already Iris told me that she had seen a documentary which said that the fact that animals are being kept in mass stocks for producing meat strongly supports viruses like the ones that caused bird flu and swine flu. It is obvious that a virus will develop and spread much more easily when there are hundreds and thousands of cows or pigs in one cot.
They usually have far too little space and the only reason for their living is actually to be eaten. Their living conditions however are so bad that if you once have been in such a place you would never like to eat meat coming from one of these cows or pigs. People have different reasons for becoming vegetarian and even if you don’t feel pity with these animals, then you will still understand that it is not a healthy way that they live in and that the spreading of viruses is normal there. So no matter what reason you give, but becoming vegetarian is definitely a good choice. I am happy that you can read and see in the media now, too, that vegetarianism is the healthier way to live.
Today I will upload the diary very early because we will leave to the airport now. We are very much looking forward to fly back to India now after six months. It was a very long time and my family is very much looking forward to have us back. We had a wonderful time here again and will have a great time in India with many friends visiting and many celebrations to come.

Swami you shine with bliss and love supreme, i want very much to come to your ashram in India, I love it there where Sri Krishna and Radha had blissful past times. I would love to retire at your ashram to serve you and the people and children of India as a teacher, lightworker, healer. Love and Light to you Swami.

Last night I dreamt about the suffering of the animals. I sent the need to ask for forgiveness and to express my gratitude and my love to the animals. They need our love.

Sadhu or Sanyasi means detached. Today's Sadhu ridiculously contradicts his title with his display of gold and wealth!
SourceIf you are in love with God, you don’t have to ‘do’ meditation, it takes place itself. You are in love without doing any ritual. You also don’t need to do rituals to please your God, he will feel your love in every moment. There is no need of any special prayer, any certain Mantra if you are in love with God.
SourceGod can be your friend whom you trust, with whom you can share everything and who can be mother, father, son or daughter to you.
SourceStress because of age is a western problem. In India many people don't even know their birthdate! Age is just a number.
SourceMany religions say that women can be beaten, can be used and even donated.
SourceLet your children grow up without learning violence in video games. Teach them instead to play with each other, not against each other. Show them that a child of another nation and maybe with another language is just as valuable as they are themselves.
SourceWe don’t need rituals to find God and God will not be especially happy if we do rituals for him. You can find God through love and by being in love, you do the best service to him that you can.
SourceHow come a girl loses her honour when she has sex with a boy that does not fit? How come honour is connected with having sex at all?
SourceCharity means giving, not expecting anything in exchange. Give and Take is business. Only giving is charity.
SourceWhen you are happy you can make others happy! Like this you can spread happiness. Give something to others when you are satisfied yourself. That will increase your happiness even more.
SourceYou did not tell your partner that you are cheating but you are trying to tell yourself that he or she would be fine with that. Anytime you do that, whenever you cheat your partner, you actually first cheat yourself with this lie.
SourceDon't take everyone else's responsibility on your own shoulders! You cannot take it for long, your shoulders are not made for that! Be happy, that will help others and yourself!
SourceOnly a rapist mentality blames rape victims for their clothing and behaviour!
SourceHow can gurus who love the material, silver and gold, call themselves Paramahansa? A true Paramahansa is not interested in wealth.
SourceIf our attitude is positive, it can change everything including our way of living. If we say ‘yes’ to life, to love, to laughing, enjoying and having fun, we can change our lives.
SourcePossessiveness comes when the mind is involved in sex. If our sexuality is on the level of spirit or soul, possessiveness will not appear.
SourceThere is proof in the scriptures that shows that the caste system is deeply based in Hinduism. We need to change this religious belief in order to stop the caste system.
SourceLove is the soul of our soul. Without it, you can be alive, but your soul is dead. We need love, it is the essence of our essence.
SourceFlexibility is Hinduism's biggest quality and its biggest drawback!
SourceThe key for a loving, successful relationship: reduce your ego!
