Ananda Pilgrimages – placeholder. Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi "The Sage of Arunachala" (30 December 1879 to 14 April 1950) Throughout the history of mankind spiritual giants have appeared on very rare occasions to exemplify the Highest Truth. Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi was the perfect embodiment the ultimate truth of Self-realisation, or complete absorption in the Supreme Itself. Drawn from His home by the power of Arunachala (mountain) at the age of sixteen, he remained at Its feet throughout the rest of His life and became known as the Sage of Arunachala. He wrote very little. He preferred to communicate through the power of overwhelming Silence, a silence so deep and powerful that it stilled the minds of ardent seekers who were attracted to Him from all over the world. His highest teaching of 'Self-enquiry' (vichara) was understood in the infinite silence of his presence.

Thanks for sharing that Sradda. Ramana Maharshi's approach was so radicallydifferent than that of Swami Yogananda and many other yogis.
Yet the Sage ofArunachala was constantly visited by the traditional swamis and masters hiswhole life. For those who were ripe, a mere glance of Ramana was enough toignite the fire of wisdom which is all consuming. Here is something I wroteearlier.

Guerrilla Gardening: Mini Ecosystem Installations On The Streets Of Madrid Take Root. In a symbolic way, Luzinterruptus wanted to protect and preserve the small timid plants that live in the cracks around the city.
Their outrage at the lack of usable green space in the city center was their impetus. To protect them, the group covered the plants with small umbrella-like greenhouses to shelter them from pollution. Small animals accompany the plants and live with them under their refuge, which is brightly lit with lights. The group was also aware that they would find few instances of plants growing in the cracks, so they also added their own plantings. Taking hardy cuttings and quality soil, they filled cracks and holes in hopes that the plants would take root. Luzinterruptus’ goal was to draw attention to the lack of green space, to pay homage to the insignificant weeds that beautifully grow in unexpected places as well as to add even more green life to the city streets. . + Luzinterruptus Via MocoLoco Images ©Gustava Sanabria.

Reddit user Girlfriendhatesmefor’s three-year-old pitbull, Otis, had recently become overprotective of his wife. So he asked the online community if they knew what might be wrong with the dog. “A week or two ago, my wife got some sort of stomach bug,” the Reddit user wrote under the subreddit /r/dogs. “She was really nauseous and ill for about a week. Otis is very in tune with her emotions (we once got in a fight and she was upset, I swear he was staring daggers at me lol) and during this time didn’t even want to leave her to go on walks. We thought it was adorable!”
His wife soon felt better, butthe dog’s behavior didn’t change. Girlfriendhatesmefor began to fear that Otis’ behavior may be an early sign of an aggression issue or an indication that the dog was hurt or sick. So he threw a question out to fellow Reddit users: “Has anyone else’s dog suddenly developed attachment/aggression issues? The most popular response to his thread was by ZZBC.

Guerrilla Gardening: Seeds of Revolution. Socal Guerrilla Gardening. How to Guerrilla Garden in 5 Fun Steps. (Image via Inhabitat) First, what is guerrilla gardening? Hipsters and housewives alike are part of the rapidly growing underground – or rather, rightintheground – political activism movement to beautify bedraggled corners and unkempt spaces of public places, from streets to curbs to corners and stoops. This surreptitious environmental warfare is fought with pick and hoe; its ammunition, seeds and saplings.

Ecological Subversion: Guerilla Gardening in Public Spaces Article by Urbanist, filed under Street Art & Graffiti in the Art category. Have you ever wondered why so much public space seems to go to waste? Even apparently ‘natural’ green areas are carefully cultivated, requiring time, energy and water. However, these only produce a return if people are sitting, interacting, or playing on them. Guerilla gardening, like many forms of guerilla action or communication, is not typically legal unless it is overtly sanctioned by a city. Technically, guerilla gardening is a kind of graffiti or vandalism – just done with plants instead of spray cans. For more information on guerilla gardening, see the Wikipedia article on the subject.

Proposed Food Bill. MPI Food Safety Advanced search Reform of New Zealand food regulations: Proposed Food Bill Please see Questions and Answers page Back to top Related information Key contacts Policy Email us Keep up to date Tools: NZ food bill to make growing food a government privilege rather than a human right. (NaturalNews) The God-given human right to freely cultivate food is under attack in New Zealand (NZ) as special interest groups and others are currently attempting to push a "food security" bill through the nation's parliament that will strip individuals of their right to grow food, save seeds, and even share the fruits of their labor with friends and family members. In accordance with the World Trade Organization's (WTO) Codex Alimentarius scheme for global food control, the NZ Food Bill, if passed, will essentially transfer primary control of food from individuals to corporations under the guise of food safety.
And unless massive public outcry and awakened consciences within the NZ government are able to put a stop to it, the bill could become law very soon. According to NZ Food Security, a group working to protect the food freedom of New Zealanders, the bill will turn growing and sharing food into a government-granted privilege rather than a human right.

What a global food crisis looks like: Oxfam's food prices map. Food prices have hovered near an all-time peak since late 2010 sending tens of millions of people into poverty. Oxfam's interactive map shows how poor communities across the world are being hurt by high and volatile food prices. This ‘food price pressure points map’ provides a global snapshot of the impacts of the global food price crisis. Use this code to embed the map on your website: What causes food price spikes?
Failed crops – often caused by our changing climate – hit food prices hard. Short-sighted biofuels strategies play a part too – taking food off of people's plates and putting it into car tanks. But despite all these complex causes, the effects on poor people are painfully simple. Whole communities face an uncertain future, because all anyone can think about is where their next meal will come from. It's time to grow out of food price spikes.
The way to GROW But what's also needed is more effective global handling of food price crises when they do happen. Related links. GRuB | Growing healthy food, people, and communities.
