Buddha Poornima 8 & 9th May in India

Brothers and sisters from Seputih Bhajan Unit are getting busy again to prepare for the coming Buddha Poornima celebration in India. The venue has not been confirmed, it is either in Whitefield or Puttaparthy.

However, air tickets to Bangalore has been purchased.

The choir is preparing for the day to sing to Swami. Brother Stanley has started extra choir practises every Sunday 1.00pm to 4.00pm since 15th March 2009 besides the Wednesday night (8/15pm to 10.00pm) practise. We are learning/revising as many songs as we can for Swami.And we are trying our best to give the best to our beloved Swami.

Swami, please bless and guide us through.

The Ant's Philosophy

1st PART

ANTS NEVER QUIT

If they are headed somewhere and you try to stop them, they will look for another way.
They will climb over, they will climb under, they will climb around.
They keep looking for another way.

LESSON:
To never quit looking for a way to get where you are supposed to go.


2nd PART

ANTS THINK WINTER ALL SUMMER

You can't be so native as to think summer will last forever.
So ants are gathering their winter food in the middle of summer.
You have got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun.

LESSON: It is important to be realistic. Think ahead


3rd PART

ANTS THINK SUMMER ALL WINTER

During the winter, ants remind themselves, This won't last long; we will soon be out of here.
At the first warm day, the ants are out.
If it turns cold again, they will dive back down, but then they come out the first warm day.

LESSON: Stay proactive at all times.


4th PART

ALL-THAT-YOU- POSSIBLY- CAN

How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter?
All that it possibly can.

LESSON: Do all you can!.and more!


IN A NUT SHELL...

FOUR-PART PHILOSOPHY

1) Never Give Up

2) Look Ahead

3) Stay Positive

4) Do All You Can


Don't be encumbered by history, just go out do something wonderful...

Received the email from some sender and I know he wants to share with as many people as possible things we learn from Nature.
