Are you curious how a Swami’s life looks like? Are you interested in what he thinks and feels when he is not in public? Swami Balendu wants to share this with you in his diary.

“Like this I will stay in touch with all my friends around the globe. For me this is a great way, a wonderful platform to express my feelings and thoughts. If you know me or have read a little bit on my website you know that I am not a master who is presenting his teachings here. No, with this diary I want to give you an insight, the possibility to get to know me.

Sometimes people come to me asking 'How do I find a spiritual guide?'. My answer to this is always: follow your heart. You are your own guru! You can read my diary and you may get some ideas, a trigger for a feeling in your heart and more clarity about what you feel yourself. If my words help you in this way, I will be happy.

You will also read about my ideas and beliefs. However I will tell from my daily life so please do not expect to read something very wise each day. It is my normal day. I will talk about situations that everybody could be in. Sometimes I will tell you my experiences and thoughts about yoga, ayurveda, tantra, love and relationships.
People come to me, share their personal experiences and I help them with the healing energy and also with spiritual guidance advice or my opinion. I like to write about this in my diary, too, because others can also learn from those situations. These are stories from the life around us, from the world in which we are living. I do not say anything personal about these experiences and I never direct my words to one person individually.

Ramona is doing a great job which makes it possible that this appears in English and German.
She collects and writes down what I am saying throughout the day and then translates my daily thoughts into German.”

Readers say...   "I love to read the diary each morning! It is the first thing that I do when I come to the office: I switch on my computer and go to read today's diary. It is a great start into the day and all work seems to be easier then..." ...Anonymous from Germany   "...What a powerful concept is your diary. There is a misunderstanding that one who knows is unattainable and different when in fact they are more grounded and available than imagined. This diary offers normal glimpses like anchors into the earth..." ...Richard from America   "...I am truly loving reading the diary, it seems to be exactly what I need in every moment, love how that works! ... It seems like each time I question or doubt myself I read something in the diary that helps to quiet the mind." ...Angie from Canada
