Relationships..........................!!

Life is in community. Life is a communion, so don't try to escape from the world, and don't try to remain in a solitary life. Because the richness is in the community; you are enriched by the community, by your relationships. The more you are related to people, the more you are rich. A solitary person living in a Himalayan cave is very poor, impoverished -- because rivers of relationships don't flow in him. He becomes a desert.
Each time somebody looks into you, a river flows in. Each time somebody shakes a hand with you, an energy moves into you. Each time there is a contact, you gain something. When you drop out of all contacts, out of relationship, and you become a solitary monk in a Himalayan cave, you have almost committed suicide. You are only one percent alive. Just because you breathe, you are alive. This is a sort of death: you are living at the minimum, you are not living at all, you are living very grudgingly, you are living very reluctantly, you are living with a deep complaint that you don't want to live and you have been forced to live. You don't want this world at all: the rainbows and the trees and the stars and the people.... No, you don't want to relate with anybody.
When you don't want to relate with anybody, your contact with God is diminished, TERRIBLY diminished. When you come into relationship with a man, or with a tree, or with an animal, you are coming in contact with God in different forms. To be in the community is the only way to be really alive. Relationship is life, and relationship is beautiful.

Anandashram & Nityanandasramam

ANANDASHRAM & NITYANANDASRAMAM

These are the two notable asramams in Kanhangad.

Anandashramam, situated about five kms. east of the Kanhangad Railway Station, was founded in 1939 by Swami Ramadas, a great Vaishnava saint of modern times. The main asramam and other buildings have a beautiful setting in the midst of shady mango, coconut and other groves. There is a hill to the east of the asramam, to which the devotees retire for quiet meditation and from its west, the surrounding extensive landscape can be seen in its natural grandeur. The spot at the highest point of the hill is so fascinating that the devotees, who go up the hill and sit silently, are blessed with deep peace and tranquility.

The Nityanandasramam, which is situated on the hillock about half a km. south of the Hosdurg taluk office, was founded by Swami Nityananda. The spot was at first part of a forest area. Here Swami Nityananda constructed 45 guhas (caves) in a mountain slope. There is a temple built in 1963, after the style and design of the famous Somanatha Temple in Gujarat. A full size statue of Swami Nityananda in sitting posture made of panchaloha is one of the attractions of the asramam.

Some of the beauty full Pix which I have took from mobile the time when me was returning form Kanhangad.

(some lines I remember )

"Sole aim is to reach the Source."

"A pure mind can alone see purity."

"The impersonal God seated within us is the Guru within and God coming in the form of a human being - a saint - to guide us on the spiritual path is the Guru without."

God arranges everything in his own way, at the time He appoints."

"Love of God means Love of all beings, because God is all, and all is in God."


"The whole universe is the work of God’s art. To anything that we see, we do not give any particular importance as different from the rest of the world. But we see the whole universe equally as the manifestation of God, everything a beautiful manifestation." "Whenever you do anything, understand that whomsoever you may serve, it is the Divine Mother you serve. It is she who has assumed all forms."

"If you see greatness in others, the same greatness is in yourself. If you see littleness in others, the same littleness is in yourself."

"We should develop a childlike nature. We should become innocent and pure like children. Ram Nam removes all the Vasanas and makes everything void in us while reading (spiritual literature) lends us strength and power to carry on with our Sadhana till we have developed that childlike nature."
