"To love someone whom you like is insignificant. To love someone because they love you is of no consequence To love someone whom you do not like means you have learned a lesson in life. To love someone who blames you for no reason shows that you have learned the art of living..." ----- His Holiness Sri Sri Ravishankarji

A Tourist Or A Pilgrim
What is the difference between a tourist and a pilgrim?
Both are on a journey. Whereas a tourist is satisfying the senses, a pilgrim is in the quest of the truth. A tourist gets tired and tanned, while a pilgrim sparkles with spirit. Every move a pilgrim makes is with sacredness and gratitude, while a tourist is often preoccupied and unaware.
A tourist compares with other experiences and places and hence is not in the present moment. But a pilgrim has a sense of sacredness, so he tends to be in the present moment.
Most people in life are just tourists without even being aware of it. Only a few make their life a pilgrimage. Tourists come, look around, take pictures in their mind, only to come back again. Pilgrims are at home everywhere and are hollow and empty.
When you consider life as sacred, nature waits on you.
Are you a tourist or a pilgrim?
- Sri Sri

Guru Of Joy!
In NAVRATRI Guruji goes into silence for 3 days. Yajnas for peace & harmony are performed in ASHRAM. Last day the atmosphere is incredibly charged with energy. Devotion is spread. Sense of timelessness is felt. Kalash is carried around the pandal with Guruji in front. People join hands in prayer. Some even cry. Grace flows.
|| Jai Guru Dev ||
