Beach yoga with Vinz

The devotee will not only sing spiritual songs and chants (bhajan and kiirtan). They are not seasoned devotees! Those spiritual aspirants who move speedily on the path of evolution towards the Supreme Consciousness will never be blind to the sufferings of countless people around them due to the lack of a solid social system, solid economic system and human feeling. If anyone is blind to the ill-management of the social system, they have not been able to understand the Supreme Consciousness fully. If they do so, they will have a subjective approach but not objective adjustment. But when devotees will move towards the Supreme, their approach will be "salvation for self and service to humanity." They go on moving toward the Supreme Consciousness while serving humanity. When humanity is neglected, "salvation for self" is also destroyed. Hence the devotee must be ready to serve humanity. The spiritual aspirants who do not render social service do not have real devotion. In their devotion lies selfishness. The devotees who are selfish do not attain God. Those who are devotees are workers. They will never be afraid of work. They will do maximum work.

("Astitva and Shivatva")

My beloved,...

When you help someone, if you help him a great deal, then that fellow will become an invalid. So if you want to help someone, you should help him a little bit at first, then perhaps later a little more, from time to time, not all at once. Your policy should be that you will help a person in accordance with his needs, not too much, not totally helping - otherwise he will not try for his own development. You help him a little, then let him stand on his own, and he will automatically take up activities in his own spirit and with his own ideas.
(Supreme Expression II, 44)

With Mari Kambe, Japanese friend

In short, whatever was created in the past is the original creation (sambhu'ti) of God. The sum total of all creations is the Cosmic Order (Brahma'n'd'a). This includes the sun as well as the small ant which crawls on the earth. Whether it is a dead star or a living star, whether it is a nebula or a milky way or a galaxy - all belong to one universal family. The Milky Way is vast from one end to the other; an ant is a very small creature, but the role of both of them in maintaining the balance of the universe is equal. If one ant meets a premature death, it will disturb the balance of the entire cosmos. Therefore, nothing here is unimportant, not even an ant. Suppose, an ant is sitting on the edge of a rock and it moves even one inch from east to west, and this disturbs the balance of the rock, it may cause a big earthquake - because after all, the ant is also His original creation.

Fumiko, India

Has your arm(wrist) improved? Are you OK?

I came back from India. India's impressions are life power, thickness & ganga(river). As soon as I arrived at India, my stomach was destroyed & weaken.

However I was fine except my tomach and could learn lots of variously things for 10 days in India.

Yoga & the city

Through all works, big and small, humanity has to be awakened. Humanity in its fullest sense is Divinity, and its perfection is Brahmatva (Brahmahood). The aspirant must not forget this even for a moment.

Whatever you speak or do,
Forget Him never;
Keeping His name in your heart,
Work, remembering it is for Him,
And, endlessly active, drift in bliss.

Light comes, Shrii Shrii Anandamurti

Kidz yoga: Avanti Kalyanashrii

"O.. tranquil sa'dhaka! Sa'dhana is your great bow. Set the arrow of your mind, sharpened with meditation, on this bow. Now inclining your mind toward Him, pluck and twang the string of the bow and pierce your target -- that indestructible Supreme Soul."

Kendang & my life

Shiva himself did not invent it. He did invent ta'n'd'ava however. The inner motivation of ta'n'd'ava is the following: "Destruction is inevitable, but I will continue to fight against destruction through struggle." So there is a skull in one hand and a dagger in the other. The skull represents destruction, and the dagger represents fight. The underlying feeling is "I will not surrender to destruction or death. I will continue the struggle with this dagger."

Shalini & Me

Thank for your interest in my yoga class. I saw your picture (face book) with your complete family from India, with Indian dress, so beautiful. I love to see it. Thanks for your gift and everything we've share. Namaste. Made.

My friends, My lovely day

Hii there, how are you. Thank for the time we've share. Hoping much fun in your daily activities program. Don't miss a thing. Do your best.

Let's move together, let's sing together
Let's come to know our minds together
Let's share, like sages of the past
That all people together may enjoy the universe
Unite our intention
Let our hearts be inseparable
Our mind is as one mind
As we, to truly know one, another become one.

Love & Piece, Namaste. Made, Yoga Teacher.

to love the universal consciousness

The only creed of a spiritual aspirant is to love the Universal Consciousness and the creation. One must not be guided by any national, caste, linguistic or religious sentiment and must not tolerate any fissiparous tendency.

A sa'dhaka

A sa'dhaka is verily a soldier. The pricks of thorns on the difficult path signify one's progress. The collective welfare of the universe is the crowning glory of one's victory.

Meditasi Alam

Meditasi adalah nafas-nya yoga. Semenjak teknik yoga diperkenalkan sekitar 7000 tahun yang lalu, tepatnya di India yoga sudah merupakan suatu sistem yang lengkap, termasuk juga meditasi. Meditasi yang benar haruslah dipelajari melalui seorang Guru. Saat terbaik untuk mulai belajar meditasi yaitu ketika seseorang menginjak dewasa, ketika kelenjar gonad mulai aktif. Banyak sekali karya seni dan penemuan-penemuan dibidang ilmu pengetahuan modern justru didapat ketika pikiran sangat tenang dan terkonsentrasi. Keadaan ini juga bisa dicapai ketika badan, pikiran dan jiwa ada dalam keselarasan dan keseimbangan. Pikiran yang meditatif memiliki ketajaman seperti pisau bermata intan. Anda bisa mengarahkan sebentuk kekuatan yang diwariskan Tuhan kepada kita dengan bijaksana kalau pikiran anda meditatif, bebas dan mulia.

Profile: Ovie

Kali pertama saya bertemu ovie yaitu saat saya mengisi kelas yoga di Karuna Graha Yoga Center. Kala itu Ovie bersama satu orang temannya (maaf saya lupa nama temannya) ikut kelas saya. Segera saya tahu kalau Ovie memang salah satu pelaku yoga yang serius. Terlihat dari tingkah lakunya yang ramah dan sopan. Ini merupakan salah satu tolak ukur keberhasilan yoga. Sebuah penghargaan juga saya berikan saat tahu bahwa Ovie banyak menguasai postur-postur yoga yang cukup sulit. Lalu timbul ide saya untuk membuat kontak profesional yang lebih jauh dengannya. Kelenturan badannya juga ok, salut deh. Selain menekuni yoga, Ovie juga sangat senang berolah raga, terutama bersepeda dan dance. Semoga mbak Ovie bisa tetap semangat. Thanks ya foto-fotonya. Next time kita buat yang lebih ok lagi.
