The Mahavatar Babaji celebration started with evening prayers, which was then followed by abhishekam and Guruji's satsang.
Mahavatar Babaji day commemorates the selfless service this mystical yogi gives to all mankind, and his promise to continue this service on the planet until all are awakened. He gives continually to all of humanity, however, Guruji reminded us all during His satsang that we should do our part and strive to awaken from the deep sleep state we have carried with us for countless lives. (The saints are never in a state of sleeping, regardless of how they might look on the outside.)
Guruji continued by saying that when the satguru comes into one's life, he breaks the conditioning of the mind where we think the outside relationships are real. The outside is just a formality. What matters is the true, sincere, burning of the heart for God, just like Mirabai had, for example.
The role of the satguru is to unlock the way of love. He reveals himself through that Prem and infuses one with that grace and gives himself to the bhakta. It is only through Prem, that ultimate love, that one can enter the domain of Sri Hari. Guruji reminded us to live our lives as if God is present every day with us (because He is)!

a dual tone on the wall
the selfless fool who hoped he’d save us all
never dreamt of such sterile hands.
you keep them folded in your lap,
or raise them up to beg for scraps,
you know he's holding you down
with the tips of his fingers just the same.
will you be pulled from the ocean,
but just a minute too late,
or changed by a potion,
and find a handsome young mate
for you to love.

HE'S THE SELFLESS ARTIST WHOSE CONTRIBUTION AND DEVOTION TO THE BETTERMENT OF SOCIETY SHOULD BE WHOLEHEARTEDLY APPLAUDED / HE'S A SELFISH BASTARD WHO CONTRITELY DEVIATES FROM BETTERING HIMSELF AND OUGHT BE HUNG DRAWN AND QUARTERED
New work from the perpetual series "THISISPARAMNESIA". These pieces, essentially work with red and blue specs with the different coloured lenses revealing different phrases. They present an obvious voice with a positive tone, contradicted by a hidden negative but perhaps honest thought. With 3D elements this series involves the viewer and immerses the visual cortex with unusual choices. Paramnesia is the inability to recall the meanings of common words.
The bee is more honored than other animals, not because she labors, but because she labors for others”
~Saint John Chrysostom
Man may travel far and wide or establishes a second home beyond the borders of his native land; Yet at the twilight years of life, he will travel back on the long road to the old Home where he spent the first 7 years of his childhood from the time he was born. - wilfredosrb
Everyman in his second childhood forgets all material things. His wife, children and grandchildren are mere friends and playmates. He remembers only the years as a child below 7 yrs of age and going home to the place where he was born.

Lagu Gereja "Kasih Tuhan Mengakrabkan Kita" kita dinaikkan di hadapan takhta Tuhan
Walaupun dipisahkan lautan
dan gunung-gunung yang tidak terhitung banyaknya,
Kita adalah satu umat, tanpa batasan-batasan di antara kita,
dengan warna kulit yang berbeda dan bahasa yang berbeda.
Karena firman Tuhan Yang Mahakuasa memanggil kita,
kita dinaikkan di hadapan takhta Tuhan.
Walaupun dipisahkan lautan
dan gunung-gunung yang tidak terhitung banyaknya,
Kita adalah satu umat, tanpa batasan-batasan di antara kita,
dengan warna kulit yang berbeda dan bahasa yang berbeda.
Karena firman Tuhan Yang Mahakuasa memanggil kita,
kita dinaikkan di hadapan takhta Tuhan.
Ada yang lanjut usia,
dengan rambut yang sepenuhnya beruban,
dan yang muda, riang dan berseri-seri.
Bergandengan tangan, bahu-membahu,
kita berjalan bersama melalui angin dan hujan,
saling menguatkan dalam kesukaran.
Dengan sepikir kita menunaikan kewajiban kita.
Hati kita terhubung,
kita menjadi sahabat-sahabat karib dalam hidup.
Kasih Tuhan mengakrabkan kita semua.
Firman Tuhan adalah sumber air hidup.
Dengan menikmati firman Tuhan,
hati kita dipenuhi kemanisan.
Hajaran firman-Nya, penghakiman firman-Nya,
menyucikan watak rusak kita.
Hanya dengan dipangkas dan ditangani,
kita memiliki keserupaan manusia.
Dalam kesukaran dan kelemahan, kita saling menolong.
Kita bersama dalam kesukaran.
Dengan memberi kesaksian, kita mengalahkan Setan.
Kita luput dari kegelapan dan hidup dalam terang.
Setia dan taat, kita adalah manifestasi kemuliaan Tuhan.
Kita tahu kebenaran dan keindahan Tuhan.
Kita mengalami cara-cara yang tak terbilang banyaknya
di mana Tuhan mengasihi kita.
Meringkuk dalam pelukan Tuhan,
hidup kita di bumi seperti di surga.
Hanya dengan Tuhan ada kasih,
hanya dengan kasih ada keluarga.
Semua yang mengasihi Tuhan adalah satu keluarga.
Kita akrab bersama dalam kasih Tuhan.
Firman Tuhan bersama kita sementara kita bertumbuh.
Hidup dalam kerajaan yang indah,
kita menyembah Tuhan Yang Mahakuasa selama-lamanya.
La la la … La la la … La la la …
La la la … La la la … La la la …
Hanya dengan Tuhan ada kasih,
hanya dengan kasih ada keluarga.
Semua yang mengasihi Tuhan adalah satu keluarga.
Kita akrab bersama dalam kasih Tuhan.

JNUSU elections 2007-08 is taking place arn1dst acute national crisis. which is ideological as well as systemic Wh1le a time has come wherein 1he concept of systemic cl:lange broached by ABVP needs to be discussed in the public space, the ideological perversions set in motion by the f30iiti~a1 parties 1n power needs to be arrested. In sucl1 a cntical sit·uation when various groups are hankering for their share in .the pie and are ready to sacrifice the national interests. the student community of JNU would strengthen lhe nationalist spirit by voting for the ABVP that represents selfless dedication to nationalism and unity and integrity of India. .
The opportunism of the left stands exposed in the campus by the manner in which the anti-farmer anti-poor incidents have been takmg place in West Bengal in the form of widespread food riots and killings of farmers in Nandtgram and Singur It is most shameful to note that the CPM activists in collusion of the Pollee are committing genocides in West Bengal and forc1bly grabbing the lands of the farmers. While the left was vocally opposing the SEZs throughout the country it went on to implement it in Stalinist manner in West Bengal Finding that the obsolete and obscurantjst Marxist ideology that led to the collapse of USSR and other communist countries as redundant, the communists have finally moved towards extreme capitalism and anti-people measures. .
In the recent years, under the UPA we have seen the re-emergence of the politics of minority appeasement with Sachar Committee report and attempts to give reservations on religious lines The most recent examples being the granting of reservations to Muslims and Christians in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh despite the courts verdicts to the contrary. While divisive vote bank polrtics 1s shamelessly practiced by the UPA and left, Vande Mataram is opposed. Bhagwan Ram is portrayed as my1hical and Ramsethu is sought to be destroyed seeking to humiliate and insult the feelings and religious sensibilities of the Hindus. The UPA .
has been also reckless in making India an appendage to the global capitalism thereby creating a situation wherein a large number of farmers are compelled to commit suicides, price rise has become the order of the day and poor sections of the populations continue to grovel under acute poverty. While anti na1ional forces like terrorism, maoism and naxalism are strenghtening their position in lhe country. the UPA government at the centre is busy in striking nuclear deal with the US compromising the national security and long-term .
national interests On the campus, AISA-SFI has continued to indulge .
themselves in lumpenism denigrating the student activism .
and JNUSU by taking the registrar of the university, Mr. Avais .
Ahmad hostage. They were able to escape punishment by .
writing apologies to the university and due to some shady dealings with he administration without the knowledge of the student community They have remained inactive despite the fact that so far around 450 P-! Category students have not got the hostels accommodation. They have not spoken a single word on the implementation of M.Phii!Ph.D fellowship from April 2005 and have accepted the administration's dictates in this regard. To demand Rajiv Gandhi National Fellowship for economical'ly and socially deprived sect1on of the society is also not on the agenda of the SFI-AISA led JNUSU.There is also an unfortunate trend wherein the caste-politics has entered the realm of JNUSU elections at the behest of the communists and Youth for Equality (YFE). The divisive caste politics played by these outfits have further vitiated the university environment. .
Elections to the JNUSU are known to be contested on both national and campus issues That a rich climate of intellectual debate has prevailed in the campus is primarily due to the presence of the ABVP, for we are the only organization in JNU, which can justly lay a claim of having an alternative vision for the nation and the society. All other organizations are lined up to appropriate the dominant Nehruvian agenda which draws intellectual nourishment from a set of values originating from the modern European .

intellectual tradition grounded in the century Enlightenment. What the other organizations debate among themselves is not this central agenda but their relative abilities of pushing it forward. We contest this agenda itself and suggest an alternative political, social, economic and cultural model based on a deep study, definition and redefinition of our indigenous intellectual tradition. In other words, we stand for decolonization in all spheres of national activity with acceptance of only those foreign values which can further enrich our indigenous cultural core. .
The ABVP is a nationalist student organization which stands for cultural nationalism. Even if the nation itself is a modern phenomenon -as is claimed by theorists of nationalism and nation-states the world over -it does derive popular legitimacy from the past. This legitimacy is based on notions of past cultural continuity, and shared historical memories and experiences. India being no exception to this, we reject the notion that Indian nationalism was a product merely of the opposition to colonial rule, and that the 'impact-response' model convincingly explains the 'imitation' by a colonized, 'child people' of the political institutions of the colonial masters. Our nationalism is entirely indigenous to us, and is based on a celebration of the cultural linkages -as also the . harmonization of differences through historical processes of collectivization -that can be traced back to the times of the Vedic culture, the epic tradition, the egalitarian Bhakti Movement, etc. In more recent times. these processes of national collectivization have been carried forward by the contributions of men like Gandhi and Vivekanand. and organizations like the Arya Samaj and the RSS. .
The commitment towards the celebration of our national culture would be rendered meaningless if we were to fail to make a Significant contribution to the decolonization of our education system. Our education system is strll based on the colonial model, and can be seen as a direct off-shoot of the colonial state's policy to educate a handful of lnd1ans 1n western thought, literature etc., with English as the medium of instruction. The aim of this venture was clearly hegemonic : having established political control over India, the colonizers were now seeking to perpetuate the Raj through moral, social and cultural control; through a projection of notions of 'British superiority' which were being sought to be established by the deculturization of Indians through the institutionalization of alien modes and forms of knowledge. The knowledge system thus imposed had an epistemological basis in the 'Enlightenment' discourse -the dominant intellectual tradition in Europe at that time. The categories constructed by this European intellectual tradition -such as 'progress', 'rationality', 'scientificity', 'secularism', etc. -made their way into India and have unfortunately become uncontested 'truths' for us. An alternative, indigenous system of knowledge can be structured only through a questioning of these categories and the construction of alternative categories, which have indigenous roots; which are an outcome of a comprehensive and critical study of our own schools of thought and cultural values. The ABVP stands firmly in favour of any such venture aimed at the indigenization of our education system. .
Related to the question of education is the issue of rewriting history. The initiative of the NDA government to rewrite history textbooks came in for severe criticism at the hands of the left. They argued that history was being sought to be 'saffronized' and 'distorted' by the Vajpayee government. So far as the 'saffronization' issue goes, the intellectually colonized cannot appreciate the indigenization of education and are constrained to give negative connotations to it. Where 'distortion' is concerned, any serious scholar of social sciences can understand that history is not a body of factual information but a discipline based on contesting approaches to past questions. Any interpretation based on sources and coherently argued can constitute a legitimate approach to the past But so far as textbooks are concerned, care should be taken not to make them an instrument for the propagation of a particular ideology, least of all an ideology that has no popular support in the country! The earlier NCERT textbooks played precisely this role : they selectively concealed and overemphasized facts calculated to further the political cause of the Communists and the Congress, to the total detriment of the Hindutva ideology. That is why the Modern India Textbook of Bipan Chandra, which is otherwise obsessed with 'communalism', conveniently omits the important historical evidence regarding SUJ3port. fo~ the Pakistan Movement by the CPI -the mother orgamzatton of the CPI, the CPI(M) and the CPI(ML). .
The ABVP expresses serious concern over the threat of fundamentalism of all hues -religious and 'secular' -which seeks to reduce the complex of reality to a narrow, monolithic code of ethics and behaviour. It divides the whole material and spiritual world into two watertight compartments -'truth' (which it alone possesses) and 'falsity'. While the .

That's Buster on the cover. From this a legend was born. Photo and cover by Wayne. Sunflower by nature.
caring, naggy, generous, hormonal, kind, selfless
cooks amazing food in a ridiculously short amount of time
often strides well ahead, requiring an offspring to hurry nervously after her
sings incredibly well
points out interesting flora and fauna
Just a few things that come to mind but she is so much more. I have immense respect for my mum and can only dream of being half as capable as she is.
Happy Mother's Day mummy, I'm grateful to you and I love you
pic: we shared this crayfish sometime ago and when I went to take a photo of its tattered remains, she rearranged it so that it would look "more presentable"
