YOGA

Remind yourself of the Divine continuously in whatever you are doing; that’s yoga. If somebody just meditates and prays to the outside only, without realizing that the Lord that they are praying to is seated inside of the heart of each being, then it’s of no use. -Sri Swami Vishwananda

Love's Pearls of Wisdom - Mahavatar Babaji

Windsurfing Through Life
Mahavatar Babaji


Windsurfing brings the sea air, the physical prowess
And the human form into contact with the rig,
The sea water and the will of man.
Balance is the key to maintaining the sail’s proper balance
So that the person does not tip the rig and fall off
Into the water. 

Like that...Life is!
.
When the time comes to step into life and balance
The material world with the spiritual path,
Many fear that the life-balance will be so dangerously
Threatened that they will fall more deeply into the water,
That is the maya of this world and, thereby, become
Even more spiritually and materially off-balance.
In Truth, this is the state of most of humanity presently!

Actually, one should accept that imbalance is most often
unexpectedly and precisely what happens when one chooses
To follow the Spiritual Master, the Guru, who takes you from
Darkness (ignorance) into Light (unity with the divine).
The things and people in life, spiritually defined as attachments,
Must come unglued to the lifestream for one to become free.

Many times on the spiritual path, people and things come and go.
This is because in order to become free we must detach from the
Material things and people who bind us to the old ways of being
Where we Love conditionally. Then we move from the head, which
Rules conditionally, into the Heart where unconditional Love lives.

It is said: “Bloom where you are planted.” So, therefore, learn
To accept and detach from the material things and people
You cannot change to fit your new spiritually proper
Way of being and then simultaneously change the things
That need changing in your life which will set you
On the path of dominion, autonomy and sovereignty.
It is rightfully said, “Know thyself and be free!”

Windsurfing is a surface water sport that combines elements of surfing and sailing. It consists of a board usually 2 to 3 meters long, with a volume of about 60 to 250 liters, powered by wind on a sail. The rig is connected to the board by a free-rotating universal joint and consists of a mast, 2-sidedboom sail. The sail area generally ranges from 2.5 m2 to 12. m2 depending on the conditions, the skill of the sailor and the type of windsurfing being undertaken.

Navaratri Tombola

Jai Guru Dev Friends and Family!

As every year, a raffle with many attractive prizes is taking place especially for Navaratri. By purchasing tickets for our Tombola, you will support the ongoing construction works in the Centre.

A partial opening can probably happen very soon, (Thanks for your help so far!) But in the meantime, there are still some things to do. According to our "Treasurer", in the last few months, very few or no donations were received.

Therefore, we ask you to please continue to help and to purchase many tombola tickets!

The English flyer can be seen in two seperate pages on the following links
