About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Let it be peace, health, happiness, love, contentment, awareness, wealth in and out for each and everyone on this planet Earth and the entire Universe.

ABOUT ME

Never afraid of risking disapproval, fulfilling my proper function in the social organism - unbuilding walls and wrong models.

Poor fear of change and feedback. Both is freedom, both is life.

PHILOSOPHY

"Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional"- Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

"What if our religion was each other
If our practice was our life
If prayer, our words
What if the temple was the Earth
If forests were our church
If holy water--the rivers, lakes, and ocean
What if meditation was our relationships
If the teacher was life
If wisdom was self-knowledge
If love was the center of our being."

Whatever joy there is in this word
All comes from desiring others to be happy,
And whatever suffering there is in this world
All comes from desiring myself to be happy.
(Shantideva - a tibetan master)

If you want attention, all you get is tension. (Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar )

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
(Mahatma Gandhi)

If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced. (Vincent van Gogh)

I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book. (Groucho Marx)
