User:Shawj/Mother Rytasha

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mother Rytasha is a renowned humanitarian and spiritual teacher, who travels the world helping the poor and giving lectures and talks on "The Religion of Love." Mother Rytasha was born into aristocracy, educated in Europe and the U.S., feted in English newspapers as one of the world’s most beautiful women and sold everything in 1985 to give to the poor. “Charity,” she says, “is love made concrete.” [1]

She founded The Servants of Charity-Food Relief International (FRI), a non-profit, non-political, non-sectarian organization dedicated to helping those in disasters or disastrous conditions. Since then, FRI has founded 28 schools and a free clinic; funded electrification, irrigation and agriculture projects; given interest-free loans and training for small businesses; distributed aid in earthquake, flood and refugee camps; and fed more than 300,000 people in India, Bangladesh and Nepal. Mother Rytasha, who takes no salary from FRI, also founded Angel Press, which has sold more than 400,000 books to support FRI. [2]

She claims no affiliation with any organized religion nor says The Religion of Love is a new religion, but says she is "teaching the Pure Spiritual Truth found at the heart of all religions. It is a Message of Love, which breaks down false barriers and brings the peace, which frees the world." According to The Religion of Love official website, when asked who she is, she answers only that she is a "servant of the servants of God." [3]

Since 1993, Angel Press to date has published and printed 13 books of "The Religion of Love - The Teachings of Mother Rytasha", and four children books under the title "Mother Rytasha's Animal Tales". One recurring message that is in many of the books is: Now a new time is come, bringing light in darkness. The path made straight and religion undivided. As there is one God, with unlimited names, there is one religion - Love.

Quotation

[edit]
  • You who seek outside yourself for Love look in the wrong place. For already are you Love. Look instead for places where you may give Love. For Love is not Love until it is given. And in giving know that the things of this world are limited and temporary and bind one to suffering. Give then that which is unlimited and eternal and frees one from suffering. Give then spiritual knowledge. Give God. Anything less is not Love.[4]
  • I see neither Hindu, Muslim, Christian, nor Jew. I see only the eternal spiritual soul. I see neither European nor Arabian, American nor African, only the eternal spiritual soul. I see neither black nor white, rich nor poor, man nor woman, friend nor enemy. I see only the eternal spiritual soul, the Beloved Lover of God.[5]
  • Do not become the enemy of your enemy, it is not necessary to kill a man, only to kill the ignorance in man. the sufferings of man will only be solved by a Spiritual Revolution, for nothing will change until the heart off man is changed.[6]
  • Beware of those who preach that God’s Love is narrow for they lie. It is they who are themselves narrow. For God’s Love is far greater than the mind of man’s imagining. And the house of the Lord is a house large enough for the whole world to live in.[7]
  • Those who quarrel over The Messengers of God, have not understood The Message of God. For no Prophet negates another religion, only the abuses of it. The Prophets of God are like the sun. The sun may appear to rise in the East. That does not mean it is an Eastern sun. The sun shines for everyone.[8]
  • Greater than faith is truth! For it is not the same to believe in Love as it is to be in Love. Nor is it the same to believe in God and the spiritual world, as it is to be there and once again with God.[9]
  • Sooner could you turn the tide or move the moon then change the world with hate and fear to Love. For hate begets but hate, and fear fulfilled, is fear. As the fig tree brings forth figs alone, a bitter seed produces only bitter fruit.[10]
