Colonial Cousin's Composition

When ever I hear this beautiful Song on PEACE by Colonial Cousin's I am reminded of Gurudev - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (who is back as Krishna, Jesus, Rama, Allah, Buddha - as the GREATEST Teacher in the Planet today) !!

Here is the Lyrics of the Song:

CHORUS: Krishna Ni Bhe Gha-Ni, Baroo !
Krishna Ni Bhe Gha-Ni, Baroo !

Darkness coming around,
And every body fight with the brother
Every body wants control,
Don't hesitate to kill one-another

So come back as Jesus
Come back and save the world
Bless all the future of every boy and girl
Come back as Rama,
Forgive us for what we've done
Come back as Allah,
Come back as anyone

CHORUS: .......

Religion is the reason,
The world is breaking up into pieces
Color of the people,
Keeps us locked in hate please release us

So Come down and help us,
Save all the little ones
They need a teacher,
And you are the only one
We can't rely on,
To build a better world
A world that's for children,
A world that's for everyone

CHORUS:.....

(Interlude)

Time is healer, and time moves on
Time don't wait for any one
So, Tell me you'll be back
But that will take some time
I waiting ////...... (with interlude)

I'm waiting, yeah yeah......

Come back as Jesus
Come back and save the world
We need a teacher,
and You are the only one
Come back as Rama
Forgive us for what we've done
Come back as Allah
Come back for every one.......

(Interlude)

Yagnas Performed for Peace in the Planet

"Path of love does not make you tired. That is a way of joy, singing and dance. It is not a desert. It is valley full of flowers." Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Gurudev is in Bangalore performing Yagnas, and in his tour in the US, starting mid October, he will also speak at UNESCO on Human Rights.

Diwali Day at Dallas

I get to see him in Austin and may in a few other locations this time..

Care & Concern for Children

As I read through this mornings Washington post, I was concerned and disturbed by the trend in child labor, in India. This is one of the most cruel condition for any child, to go through. 50 cents a day equals roughly Rs 20, which is sheer exploitation, the minimum wage is $2.50. The minimum wage in urban areas are Rs 80 to Rs 200 per day. Given the physical labor involved hear if adults are paid Rs 400 a day ($1 per hour) the parents wont force there children into labor. Approximately Rs 800 to Rs 1000 per day per couple will give them a reasonable Rs 20000 or so per month which can make them afford a decent standard of living? Its totally unbelievable that this sort of exploitation of labor is allowed today, especially amongst construction workers. I do know that things are improving in many other industries. What came to my mind is how Gurudev has a program to save these children and how all of us can help, with direct impact, and increase the number of children under his care from 6000 to 6 million.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Promise

If I had to promise you something, what would it be ?



I can't promise that you'd always be comfortable……Because comfort brings boredom & discomfort.
I can't promise that all your desires will be fulfilled…Because desires whether fulfilled or unfulfilled bring frustration.
I can't promise that there will always be good times…Because it is the tough times that make us appreciate joy.
I can't promise that you will be rich or famous or powerful…..Because they can all be a pathway to misery.
I can't promise that we will always be together…Because it is separation that makes togetherness so wonderful

Yet, if you are willing to walk with me,
If you are willing to value love over everything elseI promise that this will be the richest & most fulfilling life possible.
I promise your life will be an eternal celebration,
I promise I will cherish you more than a king cherishes his crown.
And I shall love you more than a mother loves her newborn.
If you are willing to walk into my arms,
If you are willing to live in my heart,
You will find the one you have waited for, forever…
You will meet yourself in my arms….I promise….
--Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
