In times long ago,  before Buddha appearance,  Sadhus meditated  not for enlightenment  but for Meeting God. One day,  finally Brahma came out  in front of Matang...

Vicram, a nice young man  from Sujata village  shared us a movie  featuring holly temples of the village  made by Indian government. This is Vicram. He speaks English and Japanese. He’s the type who makes foreign friends quickly.  Especially he is popular  among older madams than him. Japanese mams,  Vietnamese mams… He’s got many mams all over the world.

If you walk from pastoral Sujata village to  lively Bodhgaya,  you cross Niranjana river  and it takes about 15 minutes. Sujata village Bodhgaya Bodhgaya is famous for Mahabodhi temple  which is classified as a World Heritage Site. Mahabodhi Temple I sometimes go to Bodhgaya for shopping  because fruit and some daily necessaries are  not available in the village. One day, after shopping,  I ordered fried rice to go  at one of the restaurants  near Mahabodhi temple.   No customer was in the restaurant  maybe because it was too late for lunch time. I decided to sit down until the meal got ready. Suddenly, someone sat down in front of my seat. Who?? I looked up and found that  he was a waiter who got my order. He started playing with his smartphone  without a word.   Well… The other seats are vacant… He just ...

From Sujata Village  full of Sujata Healing Energy,  Bihar, India. Here in the village,  temperature exceeds  40 degrees these days.  It’s a melting summer season now. One day before  the summer vacation started, I visited Niranjana public welfare school. The school was founded  for the kids of poor family.  The education is completely free of charge. Children from 3 to 16 years are coming  everyday happily with big smiles. In the classroom of math. Children are earnest about studying. Their faces tell how they are serious. But Wait!! Notebooks are not placed parallel. I mean, not like this. Wait again!! This girl also… Not parallel, not strait. Almost every student’s notebook is  placed like this. The teacher doesn’t give  any warnings about this.  It looks nobody cares about it. But… for me, as grown...

Jan 2014, I was astonished by their pure and straight energy. My strong memories came back after four and half years. Their Kirtan is genuine… My heart trembles. 10-year-old boys became 14 to 15 years old now. Boys are taller than me. Their voices are broken. They are not boys anymore But strong young men. Even though, they keep pure and straight energy . Souls are here. We were born  from  the world of oneness. Our soul is originally the same. The world is only one. Those ideas come to me automatically. They remind me. Because they are connected to gods in very simple way. Because they are connected to their subconscious mind. They only focus now and here. They chant and do Kirtan every day. It must be important time, but not special for them at all. But for us, from foreign countries, it is heart-moving and impressing experience. We resto...
