From Padi Naraine ~ Orlando

You will remember us, Robin, Padi, Saira and Akshay who left Toronto for Orlando in December 2004. We are settled in our new life and last January, the need to create something new became present. The universe guided us in creating a Vegetarian, Natural Foods Cafe. After being open for only six months it won "Best Food Award - Vegetarian" in Orlando. The Lotus has now received two awards for Best Vegetarian and also made it on the City's Best 2007 top 10. So do visit us if you are in the area and sample the fare.


On the spiritual side of things we are celebrating 10 years on this path in May this year. We spend our days outside of business...with our spiritual practices and service to community. One of the things we've been doing since we moved is teaching Yoga in our community. People are really enjoying it and are benefiting from it. We learn more each time we teach. The monies raised from yoga classes go to different charities. This is the most enjoyable part of life to share some of what we learn.

A PURPOSE

As we go through the journey of life we must be aware
that we live in an intelligent universe
We cannot draw a veil on this intelligence
It gives and it takes
It makes and it breaks
It 's always responding...it knows all........

Our purpose here is to find what we were born to give
to this intelligent entity, hence allowing ourselves to enjoy
the contentment it brings and the joy it sustains in our life
It allows us to experience abundance in all aspects of life....

Many people strive to find a quick fix to survive
They will do anything to get a survival fix
Only to find out that what they are doing can
never be fulfilling, it can never be rewarding
It only leads to destruction and so much conflict
Their consciousness would not be at peace.....

Each one of us is unique and therefore have a special space on earth...
Why then don't we seek to find our true
purpose and our meaningful contribution to society
It would bring so much light and so much love
into the atmosphere and into the hearts of others
Ultimately it would be the most enlightening
experience for all........We just have to choose.....

Choose to live purposefully no just to survive...

What is your purpose? Do you fear coming out of the box????

Love & Light Always
