Dedicated to God, The Creator of the Universe










Various Styles of Architecture, but the goal is the same, i.e., to Glorify, Worship and Praise God.
Done with the utmost efforts of craftsmanship, the intricate ornamentation, the awe-inspiring magnificent architectural designs reflect the love and reverence for The Creator of the Universe.

"Mount Taranaki" or "Mount Egmont" :






One mountain with two names, call it by whichever of those two names you like.
Shrouded with Maori mythology, standing majestically under the sky.

I am peace, calm and tranquility:



Tread Lightly




Tread lightly upon this earth, seeing, understanding but never imposing.
Thoughtful, independent, be gracious in victory and defeat.
Free of possessiveness, so ease of mind sweetens relationships.
Like the scent of a rose the untroubled spirit imparts a lasting fragrance.

The very essence of existence is bliss






At the very core of your being
is unconditional peace and love.

You do not need
to make yourself
to be loving,
to be compassionate.

For then you are only making
your idea of yourself
more loving and compassionate.

And in trying to make
yourself to be a certain way,
you lose connection
with the essence of what you are.

By resisting
how you are,
you resist love itself.

If you can simply
be honest about your
experience in this moment
and allow & feel that,
then automatically
this allowing & feeling
awakens you to your essence.

Automatically
peace is revealed to you.

When you see your dog
sitting there watching you,
you do not think
"I should be loving
to my dog."

You automatically feel love.

It has nothing to do with the mind
or your acting in a certain way.

Love is automatic.

Only if you are lost in your thinking
you would not feel that love.

So you see,
love is already here.
Peace is already here.

Only because you place
importance on the content
of your thinking
do you miss this love.

Eternal Star





There is a part of you that is perfect and pure.
It is untouched by the less-than-perfect characteristics
you have acquired by living in a less than perfect world.
This part of you is a still and eternal star.
Make time to reach it and this will bring you untold benefit.

The Importance of Rain:





Chapter 2:



Kural 11

It is the unfailing fall of rain that sustains the world.
Therefore, look upon rain as the nectar of life.

Kural 12

Rain produces man's wholesome food;
and rain itself forms part of his food besides.

Kural 13

Though oceanic waters surround it, the world will be deluged
by hunger's hardships if the billowing clouds betray us.

Kural 14

When clouds withhold their watery wealth,
farmers cease to ply their plows.

Kural 15

It is rain that ruins, and it is rain again
that raises up those it has ruined.



Kural 16

Unless raindrops fall from the sky,
not a blade of green grass will rise from the earth.

Kural 17

The very nature of oceans, though vast, would diminish
if clouds ceased to take up water and replenish rain's gifts.

Kural 18

Should the heavens dry up, worship here of the heavenly ones
in festivals and daily rites would wither.

Kural 19

Unless the heavens grant their gifts, neither the giver's generosity
nor the ascetic's detachment will grace this wide world.

Kural 20

No life on Earth can exist without water,
and water's ceaseless flow cannot exist without rain.






Tirukural is a classic of couplets or Kurals (1330 rhyming Tamil couplets) or aphorisms celebrated by Tamils. It was authored by the Tamil poet Thiruvalluvar, and is considered to be the first work to focus on ethics in Dravidian literature. Although the exact period of its composition is still disputed, scholars agree that it was produced before the 4th century A.D.

Practice mindfulness:





Meditation means: alertness, awareness, mindfulness.
So whatever you are doing, just do it consciously,
don't do it mechanically.

Timeless Beauty





Learn to go beyond words into silence,
sit with your innermost self
and
experience the nourishing, timeless beauty of peace.




When asked what he would do if he had just 15 minutes to live,
Zen Master Tich Nhat Hahn said, "I would meditate."
