Acceptance

Master says:  Acceptance is very important. Accepting, ‘what is ', willing and happily!

A story-

There was a rat couple. They had a beautiful daughter. When she came of age, they wanted to find her a suitable match. 

The rat managed to find a young rat for his daughter.

However the mother rat was distraught, “what, my beautiful daughter will not marry a rat. We must find her someone who is worthy of her beauty.”

One day, they looked up, saw the sun and exclaimed- that is it! The sun is the perfect match for her. They immediately went with their proposal. Sun replied, “Thanks for all the praise but I must let you know that a cloud comes and overshadows me. In front of the clouds I’m helpless.”

my travels

   

                                                      

Traveling has always been therapeutic for me
        I see the world, the people and myself 
                      - one among many... 



Stories arise, the most original always unique
  The wait for the destination, the goal, the purpose
           Euphoria of reaching, arriving , attaining
                            for days, months, years, lifetimes...


Until a new dream, a want , a thirst
                                 takes root in the being
          And the self starts preparing 
                             - a new path, a journey, a calling...

Katha at Jo'burg

Ram katha reaches Johannesburg, South Africa.

The venue-Constitutional Hill. Originally this was a prison. M.K.Gandhi spent months in this very place behind bars,at cell no: 4

The katha was named Manas- Panchvati.

Master lovingly called it 'Gandhi Hill' and paid a homage to Mahatma Gandhi and all other men like him who dedicated their lives to create a society which was free of discrimination; where none is considered small and out caste; where all have a right to freedom.

This is the place where Nelson Mandela and others were also held for raising their voices against the injustices done on humanity.
