Gingerbread Girl ...



I spent most of today decorating an 18" photocopied gingerbread design that my granddaughter brought with her this weekend. She brought it home from school about two weeks ago, but her mother never did anything with it. So when Jenny came out for her regular weekend visit, she brought it along and it is due tomorrow. Ouch ... I felt that dig right off. Over the years, being an artsy &…

THE BENEFITS OF NEGATIVE THINKING

The Benefits of Negative Thinking



By Kirk Wilkinson



No doubt you have heard how dangerous negative thinking is. Negative thinking has been blamed for all kinds of illnesses, like depression, anxiety, cancer and diabetes. Bad thoughts are also responsible for many ruined relationships and cases of drug abuse. But if negative thinking is so bad, why do we all practice it? Why are we all so good at it?



Of the approximately 60,000 thoughts… Continue

Mind - The Key to Life - Last Part By Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

Dear all,



We should understand that just as the body suffers from small troubles like headache, cold, etc. to more serious ones like cancer, kidney failure, etc., so too, does the mind suffer from ill health. Our ancient Ayurvedic Texts have spoken about these. While bodily afflictions are called 'vyaadi', mental afflictions are called 'aadi'. Further, in Srimad Bhaagavatam is found a sloka that says, 'in Kali Yuga many people will be mentally afflicted.' From this, we learn that our… Continue

Mind - The Key to Life - Part I By Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

Dear all,



From time to time, Sri Sri Swamiji has been writing on topics of spiritual significance which are very much relevant in today's context.



If there is one topic that has confounded the smartest of scientists even today, it is most certainly the 'human mind' - An artifact whose nature and working has been studied and researched on since ages, and is continuing till day....



Interestingly, the mind is the key to the treasure-chest called… Continue

quiet . . .



quiet



a quiet breath

a quiet thought

a quiet mind

waiting for the dawning of realization

of the meaning of life,

it’s toil,

it’s suffering,

it’s indifference

betwixt the children



dis-chord-dance is the prevalent composition

of the symphony

the music of our existence

the conductors are blinded

by the misplaced and askew harmonies

We have fallen into this gutter of Family Life.. Discourse Excerpts by Sri Sri Muralidhara swamiji

Dear All,



We have fallen into this gutter of Family Life. It is out of sheer compassion that the Guru’s lean down to look at us. They tell us, "Oh! Child! You have fallen into this gutter. Let me help you out of it!"



But, what does the man inside say?



He says, "Oh! Swami! You desire to lift me out. But, what if you fall into it while trying to lift me out?"



This is because he is unable to develop faith in the Guru.



The Mahan says, "Don't you think… Continue

The Analogy of the Seed



The first aspect that came to mind here for me to you is the “Analogy of a Seed” . . . .



The Seed is plucked from a fruit from which it was spawned, to be left alone and dried. Not being aware of the path that lies before it, it just lies alone, drying up, losing it’s fluids, what seems to be all of it's "vital-ness". Then it's hopes are rejuvenated as some warm hand touches and gathers it. Thinking it is in for something better… Continue

within these lines . . .



i remember i did not forget

the things that are pertinent to my walk

so many times i remain quiet

as i listen when i should talk



talk about the things of knowing

that we mutually hold within our soul

talk about the love we have yet to re-discover

like that of our days of old



i do know that word has a power
