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)!

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.
Robert Frost, an American poet, wrote "Where Are The Old Men?", re-living in poetic lines the men who left England on the MayFlower. The men with their family who worked in American plantations until their old age. No one saw them leave, died and buried in American soil . . . -wilfredosrb

Selfless dedications in God, Country and People
PHOTO INFO-STORY: -wilfredosrb
“There will always be exceptional children like Owen who selflessly help others.
“It’s entirely in keeping with this young man’s personality that his immediate response was to warn others to help carry those who were struggling and enter the water himself. This was incumbent on his selflessness.”
Giving a statement on behalf of the family after the inquest, Ruth Hyde of Broxtowe Borough Council said: “We have the happiest memories of Owen, who was a young, caring, lively and affectionate son of whom we are immensely proud.
“His enthusiasm for life meant he put his heart and soul into everything he did.
“He was sweet, innocent and selfless, and it is consistent with his character that he risked his own life to help save others who got into trouble in the water at Beeston weir.
“Owen tragically lost his own life, but we are so proud of what he did; of the young man that he was; how he lived his life to the full; and how he related to others.
“He was a wonderful son and he will be in our hearts forever.”

how great is the view from my balcony?
"To give selflessly without expecting anything in return other than a good feeling... and how to cook a mean queso!"
Sunday morning we find ourselves in the middle of the Race for the Cure as we walk to get donuts. I like to pretend that we are selfless people who are giving up part of our vacation to Give Back to Society; Steve likes to pretend that he’s playing Frogger with breast cancer walkers in place of trucks.
I always expect Voodoo Donuts to throw me out for being too old and not having enough piercings. If I were ever to get married, it might be at Voodoo Donuts—the donut chef is also a licensed minister. We exclaim over the cock and balls shaped donut. Aesthetically, I can see why they cover it in chocolate, but as much as I like chocolate by itself and donuts by themselves, I don’t like them both together and have to get a plain, torus shaped one. Soon, I am covered in glaze up to my wrist.
We go over to Washington Park where the zoo and all the gardens are. We get lost in the arboretum. Getting lost on foot appears to be an overarching theme of our vacation. We are trying to figure out if the hemlock trees that grow all over the northwest are poisonous. (Wikipedia says no, that they were just named hemlocks because of a similarity in scent to the poisonous European herb. This seems deliberately confusing.)
We drive over to the coast.

My selfless quest continues! Granada is one of the last bastions of free tapas and, apparently, has over 500 bars - possibly urban legend, but I'll accept that figure for now! Herewith continues my attempt to visit and photograph every single bar & cafe.
Castañeda has to be one of the most popular destinations in Granada for ambiance and tapas. I caught it here on an unusually quiet day. Expect a jolly, noisy mixed crowd of locals and tourists. But terrific free tapas, too.
If you'd like an idyllic, rural self-catering holiday within an easy drive of Granada and the Mediterranean coast, and not all that far from Priego de Cordoba, consider a stay at the beautiful Los Piedaos: www.holidays-in-southern-spain.com/Los-Piedaos.html
Radha Krishna’s pure selfless love.
Sri Radha and Sri Krishna reside in the holy lushes of vrindavana along with sakhis. Sri Radhaji is the eternal everlasting beauty and the trinity divine is Sri Krishna. Lord Sri Krishna admires the soul of love with honor and passionate emotions like that of an Alectoris graeca partridge that admires the aura of the moon.
The beauty of Sri Radha is inexpressible in words as it exceeds all the youthful princesses of this universe. She is like a flower bud of beauty emitting light that is protected by lord Sri Krishna like a calyx, which are always together as one soul in two divine forms.
Their selfless love for each other is too pure and divine to be explained in words. The word ‘kama’ has no place in their world of vrindavan. Their endeavors are always for the sake of their behalf rather than for their own pleasure. This pureness in love can only be nurtured by divine Lord Himself. It is thus the whole trinity bows to this selfless love filled relation of Radha and Krishna

Vienna (Wien), Austria
Love? Many people has defined love. Is Love a selfless act of giving everything (your thoughts, your feelings, your soul) to the one you love without expecting anything back? Or is Love a selfish act of giving everything and expecting a lot back? Or is Love a middle way between the two?
In my observation Love is a selfless act of giving your everything to the one you love without even expecting anything back.
Parents love there children selflessly without expecting anything back. A moth flies towards the fire or light without thinking about the out come after the rain in the evening. A moth ends up sacrificing its life for the sake of the love. A quail flies towards the moon that she loves without knowing the outcome but she does not give up and keeps trying to get to it. She does not expect anything from the moon but she keeps loving it.
That's my friend is true Love. Love without expecting the other will Love you back and one day you will be successful in giving the ultimate Sacrifice.
