for readers.If you would like any further information on events or workshops
listed, please contact event organisers directly or open attachments and
related links. For easeful navigation, newsletter contacts and local teachers

Monthly words of wisdom - 'Don't Run After
Anything'
“Don’t run after anything. Be content. A contented man is a king
of kings; a contented woman is the queen of queens. She is the empress,
because she never wants anything. Who is the real king? Who is the real
queen? The one who never wants anything. Even an emperor, if he wants to
conquer another country, still wants something. You are bound by your possessions;
the fewer possessions, the freer you are. When you have no possessions,
you just fly high in the air, as light
as possible. Every desire is an anchor that pulls you down.
“God bless you. OM Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.”
