New life starting, lots of work, sadhana, tapas... less worrying :-)

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

These are the words that are now resonating in my head today... thanks to my dear Soiya and some friends here who support me in the projects I am embarking on.
So here it is, a few pics of my life here, and the University I work and study at.
Amrita Univeristy, School of Engeneering, conference on Education and Technology with Muhamad Yunus, another mahatma, for me the Gandhi of the 21st century...
Participants, speakers from all around India, world wide too: Uganda, Italy...
And the elephant from Amma, welcoming the visitors...

Projects are starting to roll now!!!

OMG, after a month and a half doing very little, getting used to the ways and habits around here, and especially at the university... things are now starting to roll:

here are the major links to these projects:

about Amma, the indian master I am following since one year: http://www.amma.org/

to Amma's charity work: http://www.amma.org/humanitarian-activities/index.html

The project Amma assigned me 3 days ago during darshan (the embrace the master gives you, and the time you get to spend with Devine Mother face to face, she even answers you questions at time: my last question was: .... O mother things are quite blocked here, should I stay or go back home?? the answer was the most amazing loving darshan I ever had... and a succession of very loving attentions):
http://e.amritapuri.org/abc/
Idea being: looking into ways to make this top of the class ABC recycling and composting project running at the ashram a replicable model outside... basically how to create value and jobs while cleaning India!
