Sri Ram Orphanage

Spent New's Eve with the Hanuman Fellowship. They have a newish Hanuman Temple that is soo inspiring. With Arthi every am and pm during the retreat. Sitting under the canapy at 6a the first day of 2011, is an auspicious way to start the new year! On New Year's Eve we watched a brand new release of a documentary called "Lifting Dreams". Baba Hari Dass dreamed of helping the destitute children of India have decent, adequate food, housing, clothing, education, celebration and community. And they created a family for these children. A way of life for them that I think we can all learn from. I think he is changing the demographics of a nation, and showing us how Lift our own Dreams by living a certain way. http://sriramfoundation.org/ Some of the excerpts from the film are: "Don't bother dreaming, unless you are willing to work hard." and "There is always fear in everything. We have to face the fear, fight it and finish it." It gave me, personally, hope and faith in service. That I can be serviceful (something I often resisted) and still dream, be creative, and live a balanced life. It is the spirit of giving back that moves our mountains, and gives us wings to fly.
