ere are three categories of people: uttama, madhyama and niica.

e niica category of people are those who do not undertake any work. ey think that they are ordinary peopleand cannot do any work. ey are always scared of the probable obstacles they might encounter in their work.

ey do not undertake any work.

e madhyama category of people are those who un-dertake some work but throw up their hands when anyproblem crops up. ey presume that any obstacle thatcomes in their way is a Himalayan obstacle, and hencethey give up their work. ey think they will not beable to tackle the problems they face. ey are not con-dent of their abilities.

e uttama category of people are those who take up a

task and are determined to full it. ey go on strug-gling against all odds till they achieve their goal. Noproblem can defy solution. No diculty can be great-er than their capacity to solve it. ey go on ghtingagainst all obstacles. ey can face any challenge andmeet any predicament. ey are determined to achievetheir objective, come what may.

I want you to be persons of the uttama category. Youmust always think of the goal. Always look to your

ideal. By spiritual ideation you can get inspiration toadhere to your principles.

Spirituality in a New Era is the theme for Summer Spiritual Conference organized by Ananda Marga, NewYork Sector. Its going to be held in Ananda Kanan, a beautiful Retreat Center located in Ozarks. In the weeklongfamily type event, participants will enjoy pristine surroundings, inspiring spiritual activities, cultural events, andsentient food. Activities will include chanting, meditation and classes on spiritual and social topics.

Since its inception in the year 1982, Ananda Kanan has seen generations of spiritual seekers (Margii) deepentheir spiritual practices and develop an understanding about their role in society. Well-known people such aspoet Robert Bly and economist Dr. Ravi Batra have shared their knowledge during events in Ananda Kanan.

Spirituality, as a practice, has now crossed the threshold into a new era. Yoga and meditation are fast emerging asa way of harmonious life. Meanwhile, human society is fast loosing the sense of Aparigraha. People are starvingin the streets of the big cities while others watch. Some dont know what to do with their abundance. Aparigrahameans to live with the minimum necessities of life. It is a basic fundamental principle of morality. Spirituality ina new era conforms to this principle. Ananda Kanan is a venue to get together and adopt such principles in life.Dada Jiivapremananda is the In-charge of Ananda Kanan. He starts his day at 5.00 am with leading a collectivemeditation for residents and ends it by leading another one at 6.00 pm. He is skimpy eater, but a tough worker.His daily routine includes watering plants and teaching yoga classes. He is quite adept in dealing with seasonal

plants and their behavior. Lovely animals, that remain sheltered in Ananda Kanan, are cared well by Dada. Ashe walks around doing his daily chores, his shiny smile is quite visible, as if he is in bliss. He is eager to host theparticipants of Annual Summer Spiritual Conference this year.

Spirituality in a New Era is actually a return to the traditional values which honor the self-realization and self-less service, and dedication to creating a harmonious society, free from distinctions. Ananda Marga, since itsinception in 1955 in India, is continuing to lead others to the path of righteousness. Summer Spiritual Confer-ence at Ananda Kanan, organized by Ananda Marga New York Sector, is a must come for all.

Granbury, Texas Tornado Relief Initial Survey Report & Second Visit

Last Saturday I went for the rst time to Granbury. Aer a 2-hour drive, I reached the town of about 6 thousandby a beautiful lake. I located the Rancho Brazos subdivision, the area hardest-hit by the deadly tornado, classiedas an EF-4 of a maximum EF-5 on the Fujita Scale.16 tornadoes hit the North Texas area, and this one had windsof 166-200 mph.

I intended to enter the neighborhood to make a survey of the damage, talk to the residents, and see what help togive them, but as I drove up and showed my AMURT badge, the Hood County sheris deputies said they werenot allowing anyone in yet, except the residents and professional search-and-rescue personnel.

ey directed me to go to 2 churches where I could register myself and my organization, obtain a permit andreturn another day when volunteers like myself would be permitted in.I rst found the Church of Christ and talked to the pastor there, who was very friendly and helpful, not showingany outward surprise at my strange orange uniform! He told me that he thought the relief eorts would go onfor a long time, months or even a year due to the heavy damage. I asked what he thought the victims needmost, and he replied, Food, clothes, shelter, baby items, and of course, money to get their disrupted lives back

to normal again. en he directed me to the First United Church where I could nd the volunteers taking care oregistration.

So I found that church and in the parking lot, saw tables set up and trailers where donated items were stored.Meeting the very friendly and welcoming volunteers of CERT (Community Emergency Response Team), it was ajoy to see their tired yet smiling and inspired faces. ey took my details down, and Pam Scheuler, the in-chargethere recounted to me some stories of that fateful Wednesday night when the tornado touched down, and allpower and cell phone reception in that area was lost, and how many Granbury residents did their best to help thevictims of the disaster. She was inspired that the ones most aected tried to help not just themselves, but selesslyaided their neighbors as well. Pam said that Texas and southern culture is like that.

I explained about AMURT and our relief work around the world, and we took some photos together. It was get-ting dark so I said I would be back Monday and try to bring some volunteers with me to help in whatever way wecan, and to make a better survey when we can go into the devastated area.

AMURT - Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team

(By the way, an interesting thing happened on the way there and back from our oce/Jagrti/Meditation Centerin Richardson our 310K-mile trusty old Toyota started out with properly-inated tires, but upon reachinghome, the right rear tire was 50 per cent deated,and some hours later,down to 90% deated. I had heard a noisein that area of the car on the way there, and again on the return trip, but it seemed to be running ne and nor-mal, so I thought it had run over something on the highway. Actually, it was running at high speed on crowdedhighways with a leaky tire, so it was a small miracle that nothing untoward happened. I sat down and recalledBABA, our Guru (Spiritual Master)s advice that human life is very precious and short, none of us knows whatwill happen next, so we should utilize this human frame to do good for others maximally, and sincerely andregularly do our spiritual practices.)

(In a few hours, I will return there.)

The Heart Warming Poetry of Dada Muktatmananda

The floating people,Do not come from someoriental tale,

do not glide up in the air;Heavy the body they carrythrough the bleak light,and ammoniac nightsthey learn not to be scary;They have lived on the brink,have dodged disaster edges

have long heard false pledgeslong relied on dope as desperatestabilizers and pain killers,a chemical reprieve from hell healersYet,on a true note,theirs is the greatest hope of all.

And as many,as you like to multiplyfor joys sheer flight

filling the micro and macrocosmic comb of life,as the song of the universe;And in reverse,travelled sound boatswill come to silent harbour,luxuriant,

motley colours spent willin transparency take cover;The much lived,awaken will skip and dodgenature,like baby turtles,in to a sea run at last.

I open myself to poetry only atnight late,and that is my limitation to face,for tomorrow at the crack of dawn

I must be awaketo serve those who at the front gar-den,linger and await.

The silk of my mind glowsfrom moon rays,

infinite unexplored traveling trailsand stars spin in cosmic motion;Something of dimensions,yet undiscovered within thisrhythms and pulsations longfor the absolute.The green quietly and

patiently awaitsfor undetermined timewhile animals,crawl, slither, swim, and flyfor the same.And yet,how amazing when I realize

all of that,it is just you thinking to yourself.

The waves of my breath

Morning silvery light,before the arrival face,of the sun,the entrance of a chorus makes asplash,while I wash,my eyes with these wonder!

With my soul easy,and heart glad,I let myself in a sea;Wading deeply,in the thought of you!The constant hummingin to the silence blend;

your name surface and submergein the waves of my breath

e Syrian crisis has led to a large number of Internally Displaced People (IDPs) and refugees. In February 2013this gure stood at around 2 million IDPs in Syria and 1 million refugees in neighboring countries.

Most of these people depend on humanitarian assistance, or sharing host families dwindling resources to meetbasic needs. is gure is growing daily and has led to a doubling of people in need in the last couple of months.

AMURT works with local and international partners in the Chouf mountain villages in Lebanon to provide Syr-ian refugees food, winter items and providing assistance with medical and educational needs.

Ananda Marga in Action

United Nations drop o 2,100 blanket at our Boqaata, Lebanon oce to support our operationin the mountains with non-food items. at Chouf, Lebanon.

Many of the refugees have harrowing tales to tell. Mohammed, a grandfather, took shelter with relatives inwestern Syria, but had trouble even getting bread as the streets were too dangerous to enter. He used his savingsto pay an extortionate fee to a driver to take him across the border. It was like escaping from jail, Mohammedsaid. e driver took a lot of money because we could die in the street. We have organized much-needed medi-cal supplies and winter items for Mohammed and his family.

AMURT is appealing for funds to meet the needs of the increasing numbers of refugees seeking our assistance.

Babas Quote

We cannot neglect the spiritual world. is was

our fault -- that we neglected the spiritual facultiesof human life, the cardinal spiritual points of life.Now, if we want the development of this beautifuluniverse, we should try to accelerate the speed ofspiritual progress more and more. If this progress,this speed, this acceleration, becomes tremendous,ten not only in the physical or psychic or spiritual

world of human beings, but in the entire livingworld -- and not only the entire living world, butalso both animate and inanimate worlds -- therewill be tremendous progress, and this is what wewant. Now humanity is anxiously waiting for thatcrimson dawn in the eastern horizon.
