Me, My guru – on conducive situations needed to be kind and generous!

Ashwathamma, an 80-year-old beggar from Karnataka has donated lakhs of rupees to various causes and organisations – including various temples. Who can be more poor than a beggar? And yet, from the money she earned through begging, she spent only a fraction for self, lived in abject poverty and saved all that she could and gave it back to the society!!

Tula behera from Odisha is one more such beggar who donated to the Puri Jagganth Temple. There are so many people in such a category. Having lakhs of rupees, going around in Mercedes and Skoda, living in posh 2/3 brk apartments and donating couple of thousands – people post that on facebook and other social media sites. But those who have nothing for themselves give away lakhs and that is generosity! Can we beat that?

Gandhiji preached and lived non-violence all his life. And yet, his death was a non-violent act by a fanatic!

Jesus, an embodiment of love was crucified for no fault of his!
