Guest guest Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Welcome Home....... Physically and Spiritually. It seems you learnt many lesons in the past 18 months. Parag 1980 India Trip Hi guys, I am coming to India after 1 1/2 year. It feels so nice. But only for 2 1/2 weeks! Got some nice experiences of people in USA. Basically the 4 common human tendencies are everywhere- 1. Cheating 2. making mistakes 3. Imperfect senses 4. illusion In india we are more open about it, here its all covered under the white shiny beautiful skin and even the adaptability of the indians to this culture is impeccable. They will throw litter in bins here, and on the roads in India! -- double standards!!!! or may be- while in Rome, do as the Romans do. Still I like India with all the dust, pollution and corruption and the rupee value going down- why? because of our rich and dwindling culture, family bonding, our Bhagvad Gita and the Bhagvatam which is a perfect means to a perfect end. For some-the grass is always greener on the other side. Regards, Meena Samtani. Always Chant and be happy Hare Krsna Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna , Hare Hare. Hare Ram Hare Ram, Ram Ram, Hare Hare.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Dear Meena, Ultimately it depends on you on what to make your prison. Gandhiji spent a large part of his life in prison, yet he considered it an enlightening experience. He never considered it a prison. It is not countries which are good or bad. It is individuals.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 'Crows' are the same, all over the world. They 'dress' in different clothes and 'eat different trash' depending on the circumstance, It is how we understand and adjust with fellow human beings and the surroundings that reflect our true spirituality. Society is a mirror, which reflects our desires and aspirations In the end what people chant may be irreverent if their behavior and actions do not mimic their words,..........
