Education for Peace

“Peace must first be developed [through education] within an individual. And I believe that love, compassion, and altruism are the fundamental basis for peace. Once these qualities are developed within an individual, he or she is then able to create an atmosphere of peace and harmony. This atmosphere can be expanded and extended from the individual to his family, from the family to the community and eventually to the whole world.” –The Fourteenth Dalai…

QUESTION YOURSELF

Have you heard

what your heart recently told

Have you watched

the beats all night long getting old

A pumping muscle

a pulsating blood

a red flush on your face

a heavy feet with tons of weight to arouse

What´s about your breath

your clear view

your vibrating voice

did you ever had a choice

An automatic flow

a rhythm of nature

a reflex of behavior

a dry tongue for…

the problem with the use of force by governments

the problem with the use of force by governments: 
 
There is no heart in forced sharing - it must freely be done - freely sharing has heart in it - feels so very good to connect and freely share this way. This is where love is - in the sharing. A society based on love would be beautiful.…

Why peace does not prevail ?

Government is the use of force. Sometimes government uses force directly to control behavior. Other times, government uses money taken by force to fund activities which would otherwise not involve the use of force.
So we are dominated by violent governments and since most people accept this - peace does not prevail.

Devotion to Guru (Bhakti) - Part 4 By Sri Sri Muralidhara swamiji

Dear All,



Contd.....



The well is the family life into which we have fallen. It is verily the Guru(spiritual preceptor) who has come up to lift us out of this well of a family life. The rope that he drops for us to take hold of is verily the path of Namasankirtan (taking the Divine Name of the Lord). It has the trademark of innumerable saints who have followed this path. If the Guru says…

Snow in Bethlehem

 

 

Thunder rumbles in the mountain passes

And lightning rattles the eaves of our houses.

Flood waters await us in our avenues.

 

Snow falls upon…

Manna For The Soul: Turning your tragedy into triumph

Yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.

(Isaiah 64:8)

(Romans 8:28)





Each blow of the hammer and chisel in…

SORROWS

Falling in love

changes your life

proves what survives

keeps your inner wishes alive

let your heart rise

Awaken after deeper sight

remembering your first night

everything looks bright

wonderful in loves light

thankful for having God at your side

Forgiven the faults you made

again you learn to trust

a real together is your new must

your old ego loses the mask

sweet dreams rise…

Devotion to Guru (Bhakti) - Part 3 By Sri Sri Muralidhara swamiji

Dear All,



Contd.....



A man has fallen into a well. A man offers to lift him up. The fallen man asks, "Sir! You offer to lift me up. But, would you not, in this attempt, fall down?"



The man on top questions back, Do you think that I do not value my life? I can lift not just one like you but a hundred, a thousand, a lakh and a crore of people fallen into this well.



This man having gained…

These same agencies recently have actively leaked information about Romney’s drug money laundering and other criminal activities in a clear sign of a military industrial complex revolt against the Bush Nazi faction, according to CIA and…

Be an example to others


Quote: " If in a selfish world I remain
compassionate, in a violent world I remain peaceful, in a shallow world I
maintain depth and sincerity, in a world of ingratitude I celebrate the gift of
life, then I have done what I can do." Laurence Boldt

Dear All,



Contd......



Kabir says, If Guru and Lord were to appear before me, I would ignore Lord and prostrate to my Guru.



Why does he say so?



He explains, when I was filled with the filth of the vices of my mind it was my Guru who took me unto Himself and cleansed me. Lord did not turn to my side at all. It is only after I have been…
