From India

Dear friends,

Happy new year!!

i am in a street Internet bar in Rishikesh, the city of yoga, sorry i can only write in English here. i miss all of you. i think it is very selfish that i keep all the wonderful experiences just with myself. Just like our Bhagavad-gita teacher said, the goal of our life is to share love with our beloved ones eternally and unconditionally. Whatever we try to keep with our self will be lost finally and helplessly, and whatever we shared with others will be always alive in others heart.

Yesterday, the first day of Chinese new year we did something special, as we are staying in Parmarth Niketan Ashrama, we were invited as special guests to participate in the Ganga Arati, and then we sang kirtan together with all the people from all of the world on the bank of Ganga as the sun setting.

The way of India is not to be understood unless you become a part of it's life. it is so different from the life of a big city like Shanghai, please come to see with your own eyes, come to smell with your own noses, come to taste with your own tongue, come to hear with your own ears, come to feel with your own sensation, once a while in your life. And you will value it and understand why this is the home of yoga, where people, nature and animal are so friendly with each other in the state of Union.

namaste!

What you are looking for is what is looking. 你所寻找的正注视着你

----摘自《无尽的爱》Ravindra Svarupa Dasa

星期二一早就要上飞机了，我似乎仍然有些麻木和未进入状态。为什么我没有对旅途劳顿的恐惧和担忧，也没有对即将来临的感受的期待和兴奋呢？我是变得麻木了吗（还是我开始变老了）？我唯一的欣慰是能够打破一年来所习惯的、机械的作息，除此以外，我把一切都交给下一个瞬间！时间和空间的幻觉紧紧地缠绕着我所体验、感受、思维和意欲的一切，使我生活在另人痛苦的物质中，对爱变得麻木，但从飞机上下来，我们将进入另一个季节，另一种气息和不同的人们组成的世界（Vrindavan，Krishna的出生地），但我在心中听见：

radhe radhe radhe shyam
govinda radhe sri radhe

啊，Radhe Radhe，还有美丽的黑皮肤的Shyam(Krishna)，神圣的爱侣！我的心离你们还有多远呢？我的岁月，我真正的生命离你们还有多远呢？啊，美丽的Vrindavan，所有超然主义者和神秘主义者向往的土地！
啊，Govinda，只有你能给感官带来真正的快乐，难道我的感官曾有一刻不属于你吗？我的眼睛多么黑暗，请不要让我的肉眼欺骗我，啊，Radha，愿你赐予我光明和平静。
