A Great Soul

Most of us are familiar with Gandhi but for those who are not or those of us who may have forgotten, here are some facts about him and some of his thoughts. Gandhi is often called Mahatma -- the Hindu term for "great soul". Gandhi is revered in India as "the father of the nation". Since his death he has become the source of inspiration for non-violent political movements such as the civil rights movement in the USA and Northern Ireland. Gandhi's insistence that means were more important than the ends distinguished him from other great political leaders of the twentieth century. Gandhi impresses upon us, once again, along with numerous other writings and thoughts on our website that we become our thoughts. That concept is key to the universal understanding of living life in peace and harmony to the benefit of all. We are all blessed to have the privilege of exposure to the essence of his Spirit and thoughts.

Works By Mahatma Gandhi

Man often becomes what he believes himself to be.
If I keep on saying to myself
that I cannot do a certain thing,
it is possible that I may end
by really becoming incapable of doing it.
On the contrary,
if I have the belief that I can do it,
I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it,
even if I may not have it at the beginning.

Keep your thoughts positive,
because your thoughts become your words.
Keep your words positive,
because your words become your behaviors.
Keep your behaviors positive,
because your behaviors become your habits.
Keep your habits positive,
because your habits become your values.
Keep your values positive,
because your values become your destiny.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For me, the different religions are
beautiful flowers from the same garden,
or they are branches of the same majestic tree.
Therefore, they are equally true,
though being received and interpreted
through human instruments equally imperfect

To me, God is Truth and Love;
God is ethics and morality:

God is fearlessness.
God is the source of Light and Life
and yet He is above and beyond all these.
God is conscience...

He is a personal God to those who need His personal presence.
He is embodied to those who need His touch.
He is the purest essence.
He simply is to those who have faith.
He is all things to all men.
There is no god higher than Truth.

The Cry of Mother Earth

I am an amateur photographer and always looking for unique images. This image is certainly unique and the message timely. To all of the mothers, thank you for your beauty and loving-kindness. Enjoy.

The Cry of Mother Earth
From the beginning of time
She carries our feet
Mother of All
Blueprint of our ground
She utilizes unity, love and harmony
This essence of life
Arouses us with nurturing rains
An alliance in fullness
Grateful for what is given
Fertility
Maturity
Vitality
No possession
Just respect

The Great Mother cries
She begs to open the door
Of a strenuous awareness
Now the veils between worlds are delicate
Arise to make the land green again
And find the layers of Mahimata
Gathering of exposed divinity
As outside as inside
Perceive and become
Riders of the Light
Warriors of the Rainbow
