Hi, a poem for you all, from Rose

Love’ s Camel

Whatever way love’s camel takes

let it take me too

stowed up on the saddle, swaying.

Let that be home.

The past nor future is our own

only this trapeze moment.

Catch it now as it swings.

Who cares where we are headed

it is enough to be with

this light filled present;

feel the sway, the night air on your face

stars bright in your hair.

Let's Act Together

Friends of many nations

We gather here to say

Let's act together as if

We're one big family today

For all our children's futures

Should be held in our own hands

Not bartered by some business

Or maimed by armies on our lands

This world is large but finite

We have no more room to grow

The food we need for all to eat

Must come from what we sow

And if we divert our efforts

From battles over…

Questions:In any field such as sports or study etc.,generally practice makes one perfect. But in spiritual practices...?

Dear All,

In any field such as sports or study etc., generally practice makes one perfect. But in spiritual practices such as chanting the divine names of God, it seems like a never- ending practice and struggle. We do perceive any quick progress. Is there an easy way of reaching this goal of life and witnessing the results within a short period of time in spiritual practice?

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

Let us take the example of three… Continue

Being able to feel a touch as if it were your own

Listening to radio 4 last week, there was the story of people who experience a sense of touch when someone they are looking at is being touched. In it's extreme, all sensation is felt, like a mirror. For example, 'Jane' first discovered she had the condition aged 6 when her mum asked why she was limping. Jane had seen her friend fall and sprain her ankle when skipping a few days before, so replied "Oh I sprained…

URGENT ATTENTION NEEDED !!!

In 2 days, the EU will ban much of herbal medicine, pressing more of us to take pharmaceutical drugs that drive the profits of big Pharma.

The EU Directive erects high barriers to any herbal remedy that hasn't been on the market for 30 years -- including virtually all Chinese, Ayurvedic, and African traditional medicine. It's a draconian move that helps drug companies and ignores thousands of years of medical knowledge.

We need a massive outcry against this. Together, our voices can… Continue

Marriage - William & Kate show the world that yes, love and God make for a beautiful marriage!

I watched William and Kate exchange marriage vows today and listening to the holiest of words spoken to each other was an honor - to respect, be faithful, in sickness and in health, rich or poor, love each other till death do they part and God's joined them in His love. God was spoken in this ceremony, freely and was understood by all. It was reported that over 2 billion people watched William and Kate exchange holy vows of matrimony and became husband and wife. Listening to the sweet…

COMPASSION

The pure and sweet souled man Mahatma Gandhi commonly said, "I am a Hindu and a Moslem, a Christian and a Buddhist.” In his ashram at daily prayers, Gandhi prayed to include all faiths. We too would benefit greatly from his lesson in tolerance and participation. Truly the essence of all religion is compassion.

Can we say: I am a human being, living here, in this time, in this space, a…

THROUGH THE EYES OF BLACK ELK

“So I dressed myself in a sacred manner”* and went and stood out beside the highway, where endless people passed by in speeding cars. Many looked but few saw me, like an old eagle fallen to the ground. Some children pointed in my direction; some teenagers laughed and made humiliating gestures. To most, I remained as I had always been—an invisible presence passing among them.…

Benefits of Japa - (Continuous Chanting of a Mantra)

Dear All,

Japa (repetition of the mantra checks the force of the thought current moving towards objects. It forces the mind to move towards God, towards the attainment of eternal bliss. Eventually it helps us to have the vision of God. The mantra-power is hidden in every mantra. Whenever the spiritual aspirant shows lack of vigour in his sadhana (practice), the mantra sakti (power of the mantra) reinforces the sadhana sakti (energy) of the aspirant. Constant and prolonged repetition of… Continue

FLOWERS & BUTTERFLIES

Every fine word will fall. As a flower withers and is no more. As a bird falls from a poison sky. As a butterfly catches fire and crawls without wings to troubled death. The flower is the legs of earth that brought us here and weds our destiny to the wind. The bird is the shaman who sees afar. The butterfly, as commonly held, is the story of the soul that by some miracle of creation evolved into acts of beauty and is tortured by a love of death in the fire-pit of extinction. Every word of… Continue

A World Of Peace And Gifts

In this muddled, fuddled world of ours, where peace is all too often lost,
men aim to win the wars they wage, though most will lose and rue the cost,
leaving few marks behind to endure beyond the headstones of their graves.
But with the gift of kinship so much more can be had if we strive to save
and share the sparse resources at hand, not throw ever more away,
with little consideration of the needs of new generations on the way....
