Working Together

189 Country Heads firmly committed to work Together and Build A Safer, more Prosperous and
Equitable World for all by 2015 at the Millennium Summit in September 2000. They adopted
unanimously a Visionary Document named Millennium Declaration, which gave birth to the eight
Millennium Declaration Goals (MDGs).

The Millennium Development Goals
1. Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger
2. Achieve Universal Primary Education
3. Promote Gender Equality & Empower Women
4. Reduce Child Mortality
5. Improve Maternal Health
6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other Diseases
7. Ensure Environmental Sustainability
8. Develop a global Partnership for development

Are We Responsible?
Even today, 1200 million people struggle to survive in less than 1 dollar a day; 50,000 people die
of extreme poverty; 113 million children do not have access to primary education: Of 4 children
born, 1 will not reach the age of 5 and more than 13 million children are orphans due to HIV/AIDS
Let’s Play Our Roles Now!!!!….Just 2 Minutes!!! Any Place, Any Time of the
Day…17th October 2007--A Global Call to Action for MDGs!!!!!

The pain deep within

Something stuck deep within
Will pain for so long
This makes feel it is eternal
Though it is for a moment

Cause of the pain
Is always the love to be?
This never happened to be
And it always happened to me.

Losing is as good as winning
AS, nothing is as good as losing
Because the one who have lost
In love, wins it all

A big smile can always hide
All the grief inside
Make it a smile always
Only the brave can smile always.

The longing, the praying
So pure and deep
Will move the divine
Make this world a wonder

What do Angels Look Like?

What do Angels Look Like?
Like the little old lady who returned your wallet yesterday.
Like the taxi driver who told you thatyour eyes light up the world, when you smile.
Like the small child who showed youthe wonder in simple things.
Like the poor man who offeredto share his lunch with you.
Like the rich man who showed you itreally is all possible, if only you believe.
Like the stranger who just happened to come along,when you had lost your way.
Like the friend who touched your heart,when you didn't think you had one left to touch.
Angels come in all sizes and shapes,
All ages and skin types.
Some with freckles, some with dimples,some with wrinkles, some without.
They come disguised as friends, enemies,teachers, students, lovers and fools.
They don't take life too seriously,
They travel light.
They leave no forwarding address,
They ask for nothing in return.
They wear sneakers with gossamer wings,
They get a deal on dry cleaning.
They are hard to find when your eyes are closed,
ButThey are everywhere you look when you choose to see.

My trip to my masters show

My master was in Trivandrum .

Me and my friends took a car and travelled the 700Km destination in the most dangerous roads available for regular users(!)

We reached Kollam in the morning of 6th September .I was visiting it for the first time ,this beautiful Ashram at Kollam.
Also visited a local temple of great reverance.
En route we visited Shiv Giri Ashram ,The Samadhi place Of Sri Narayana the great reformer
Reached Trivandrum by 3 0 clock.The Chandrasekharan Nair Stadium was beautifully decorated and a stage was also built.

He arrived at around 4 30PM and gave PDS and SudarshanKriya.
The master went for a brief temple visit to Padmanabha Swami Temple and later on came back to have a beautiful Satsang and messages to all of us.

We returned back by 11:oo PM and reached Chotanikkara Devi Kshethram at 4:00 AM
From there to Kodungallur Thripayyar, Guruvayoor and Kadampuzha Temples.
My trip was extremely great and beautiful by the grace of the master.

Life story

When the wind sings through me
By the sides of my ears

Standing beside the sea
I can hear the rumble of the ocean

I can feel the strength of the waves.
Feel it crashing in to the rocks

Some little ripples and simple waves
Some high and big thundering waves

Frustrated and desperate
Sometimes joyful and enthralled

But when I look afar
I don’t see the anger nor the sadness

Its really calm and serene
When one look in the distance

All through these ages ,till the eternal
Life goes by ,roaring high and sighing low
