526_Rama
Today's topic is Rama.
Ram's name is most wonderful! it's power is unlimited. Thorough faith in that name means freedom from all sin, doubt, pain. When you have that name in your thoughts or on your lips where is there any fear for you?
You can cling to Ram only by throwing up everything, making Ram your end, aim, ambition, goal, destination, your all in all! Go ahead, sweep the past into oblivion and have no thought of the future. Only live in the present, in Ram, for ever and ever.
The easiest method of concentrating the mind is to repeat the sweet, glorious and divine name of Ram! To control the mind, there is no method, no sadhana, so effective and easy as to repeat your glorious name, O Ram! To repeat your sweet name means to still the disturbed mind and plunge it into the ocean of Bliss!
~ Swami Ramdas

Today's topic is Hippie.

Just having the art-communal hippie experience as a child, there wasn't a clear line that was drawn. We celebrated creative experience and creative expression.
