The story of my experiments with truth - M.K.Gandhi

Now-a-days, I am reading “The story of my experiments with truth” or “An autobiography” of M.K. Gandhi ji. I am trying to understand the meaning of the each word in the book. I am sure, you have read this book too. Really, his life is a message to all of us.
I am feeling some changes in my attitude and behavior. The every page of the book gives me new experience.
I would like to share some inspiring and motivating thoughts of Gandhi ji with you in my coming letters.

Gandhi ji told, “I am nothing new to teach the world. Truth and non-violence are as old as hills.

Love & Peace,

A heart touching story .....

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked stone & scratched lines on the side of the car.

In anger, the man took the child's hand & hit it many times, not realizing he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures. When the child saw his father....with painful eyes he asked 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?'

Man was so hurt and speechless. He went back to car and kicked it a lot of times. Devastated by his own actions...... sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches, child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'. The next day that man committed suicide. . .

Anger and Love have no limits, Choose the latter to have a beautiful & lovely life .....


Always remember that: Things are to be used and people are to be loved, but the problem in today's world is that, People are used and things are loved.......

Love & Peace,

“P E R S O N A L I T Y”

Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
Don't over do. Keep your limits.
Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.Dream more while you are awake.
Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past.
That will ruin your resent happiness.
Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn.
Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
Smile and laugh more.
You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

Love & Peace,

"LIFE"

Do the right thing!

Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

GOD heals everything.However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

The best is yet to come.

When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it.

Your Inner most is always happy. So, be happy.

Love & Peace,

God is Great all the time; all the time God is Great!

I asked God to grant me patience. God said, No.
Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned. I asked God to give me happiness. God said, No.
I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.
I asked God to spare me pain. God said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.
I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said, No.
You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful. I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life. God said, No. I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.
I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me. God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.

"To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world"

Love & Peace.,

International Respect for Chickens Day - 4th May 2009

It is good news that many organizations are organizing an event in honor of the billions of chickens raised and slaughtered for food in India. All credit goes to Chetana Mirle.

Our society (Indian Vegan Society) is also organizing an event on this day. Our president Mr. Shankar ji, is doing his best efforts for the success of this event.

We know, its a small step. But I am sure. One day, we will be able to change the world.

I wish all the best to all organizations for 4th May (International Respect for Chickens Day)
