Tervist!


Pärast rändamist läbi Iraani jätsin vahele reisimise Pakistanis ning jätkasin 
ainult jalgsi rändamist Indias.

Even God doesn't know.

Mitu hindut mahub ühte rongi?
Seda ei tea isegi Jumal.

Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948)

Political and spiritual leader of India

India poliitiline ja vaimne juht

You must be the change
you wish to see in the world.

My life is my message.

It is health that is real wealth
and not pieces of gold and silver.

The best way to find yourself
is to lose yourself in the service of others.

- Mahatma Gandhi

Sina pead olema muutus,
mida sa soovid maailmas näha.

Minu elu on minu sõnum.

Tõeline rikkus on tervis,
mitte tükid kulda ja hõbedat.

Parim viis enese leidmiseks
on iseennast kaotada teiste teenimises.

- Mahatma Gandhi

Holding unto the big toes of the BUDDHA

Hoides kinni BUDDHA suurtest varvastest

The deva said:
What is the greatest gain?
What is the greatest loss?
Which armour is invulnerable?
What is the best weapon?
The Blessed One replied:
The greatest gain is to give others;
The greatest loss is to greedily receive without gratitude;
An invulnerable armour is patience;
The best weapon is wisdom.

Deva küsis:
Mis on suurim kasu?
Mis on suurim kaotus?
Milline kilp on vigastamatu?
Mis on parim relv?
Õnnistatu vastas:
Suurim kasu on anda teistele;
Suurim kaotus on ahnelt võtta vastu ilma tänulikkuseta; Vigastamatu kilp on kannatlikkus;
Parim relv on tarkus.

From the distance You can see

Sweet blow the winds.
Sweet flow the rivers.
May the herbs be sweet to us.
May the night and days bring us happiness.
May the dust of the Earth yield us happiness.
May Heaven, our Father, send us happiness.
May the trees gladden us with fruit.
May the Sun bestow joy on us.
- The Rig Veda

For 2 days I lived in SUNNY's home together with 9 people , 2 dogs and 2 cats on the area of 6m x 6m.
I was fortuned to experienced true respect, helpfulness, happiness, the spirit of service and love. Our home's door was always open to all the hundreds of neighbours. One the first night when I ate dinner in SUNNY's home there were more than 20 people in front and on sides of me watching my every move and emotion.

Elasin 2 ööpäeva koos 9 inimese, kahe koera ja kahe kassiga 6 x 6 meetrisel alal. Nii tõelist austust, abivalmidust, õnnelikkust, teenimist, armastust olen kohanud harva. Meie tare uks oli pidevalt avatud kõikidele sadadele naabritele. Kui esimest korda sõin SUNNY kodus õhtust, istus minu ees ja külgedel üle 20 inimese, kes iga mu liigutust ja emotisooni jälgisid...

Afternoon tea with the kind man who saw me walking on the road for many days

Pärastlõunane tee koos lahke mehega, kes mitmel päeval nägi mind maanteel jalutamas

Yes, to the very end.

The evening tea with young man

Õhtune tee koos noorte meestega.

Kui Türgi ja Iraani teedel ja külades jalutades mind peatati pea iga päev 5-15 erinevas kohas, kus pakuti teed ja süüa ning pakiti süüa teele kaasa, siis siiani Indias on peatanud mind teepausiks keskmiselt ühe päeva jooksul 1 inimene.
Kuid kui õnnestub pääseda India koju, pean sööma vähemalt 2 korda rohkem, kui mu magu tegelikult võimeline on.

“I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' rather he will ask, 'How much love did you put into what you did?” - Mother Teresa

"Ma ei ole täpselt kindel, milline taevas saab olema, kuid ma tean, et kui me surema ja saabub aeg, mil Jumal meid hindab, siis ta ei küsi, 'Kui palju häid asju sa oma elus oled teinud?'
Pigem küsib ta, 'Kui palju armastust sa panid sellesse, mida sa tegid?" - Ema Teresa

"We can do noble acts without ruling the earth and the sea." - ARISTOTLE

"Me võime teha õilsaid tegusid, ilma maad ja merd valitsemata." - ARISTOTLE

were the chief requirements of life, 
when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about."

it is the individual that is important to us.
If we wait until there is a given number of people, we will get lost in numbers and will never be able to show respect and love for one concrete person.
To me, every person in the world is unique."

MA OLEN NÜÜD
INDIA MONSUUN VIHMADEKS VALMIS !

Together with my very big helper and friend
DARSHIL NAHAR in his home.
Before I arrived to Darshil's home in Maroli he organized 2 different homes for me to stay.
After I left his home he organized 2 more places for me to stay.

We had a great time together.

Darshil gave me a lot of gifts! 

I am sad I don't have photos of his caring family.
See You soon!

Koos suure abilise DARSHIL NAHAR'iga tema kodus.
Enne, kui ma jõudsin Tema koju Marolis, organiseeris Darshil mulle ööbimise kahes erinevas kodus.
Pärast Dashili kodust lahkumist organiseeris Ta mulle veel ööbimise kahes erinevas paigas.
Meil oli koos vägev aeg.
Darshil andis mulle palju kingitusi.
Olen natuke kurb, et mul ei ole fotot Tema hoolivast perekonnast.
Kohtume varsti!
