*Serious threat to India's largest wild elephant population! Pls sign protest letter Saturday, 11:47 PM
Asia’s largest remaining population of wild elephants is found in the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. The elephants' survival is endangered by a variety of serious threats. The most serious threat (and also the easiest to remedy) is the proposed relocation of four government departmental check-posts on the inter-state highway. If implemented, the proposal would prevent the annual migration of the wild elephants between Tamil Nadu and Kerala which is necessary for their very survival.

Stop the slaughter and destruction - reduce the human population to manageable levels so we can ALL live with enough room to breathe and live our lives with freedom and peace...
What/who changed my life and why
The Buddha, Hatha Yoga, My Teachers, My Students, My Friends,
N02. "When we get out of the glass bottle of our ego,
and when we escape
like squirrels in the cage of our personality
and get into the forest again, we shall shiver
with cold and fright.
But things will happen to us
so that we don't know ourselves.
Cool, unlying life will rush in,
and passion will make our
bodies taut with power.
We shall laugh, and
institutions will curl up
like burnt paper."
- D. H. Lawrence, Escape
N01`"The first factor in the revolution of consciousness is the mystic death of the ego- the death of negative thinking, negative personalities. We must purify the soul of the inner enemies. Every time a defect manifests- envy, gluttony, anger, lust, whatever-that impulse to the heart. Ask, `Do I really need to invoke this?' And then honor the heart."
--Willaru Huayta, QUECHAU NATION, PERU
Our egos have character defects. These character defects we sometimes act out and they invariably bring results to our lives that we might not want. If we continue to use these character defects, we will continue to have undesirable results in our lives. How do we change ourselves or get rid of a character defect We can go to the heart-ask a question, make a decision-then honor the heart. For example, say I get angry today. I would go to the heart and ask, would I rather be right or would I rather be happy? How we answer this question can have an enormous impact on how our day goes. Once we decide the answer to this question, we need to honor the heart by saying, "Thank you for the power of changing my thoughts. I choose to be happy and to experience peace of mind."
Great Spirit, today, let me teach only love and learn only love.
