Hari Om,

Hello to all of you friends of the Yunus Emre farm!

 

NEWS are ultimately coming.. you will have now all information about how things are going on the farm regarding the consequences of the fire which took place on the 12 september 2012.

Different themes will be evoked

 

-- List of everything GIVEN to the farm by YOU and of everything that has been purchased or realised thanks to YOUR DONATIONS.

-- Present situation in the  farm 

-- Situation of the legal process

-- New Yoga program: when, where, how it does continue

-- Plans reflexions et attempts !

 

 

 

LIST OF THE GIVEN OBJECTS AND THINGS REALISED THANKS TO YOUR DONATIONS

 

CLOTHES- HOUSEHOLD LINEN:

 

You have been giving so much, be it winter or summer clothes, bed sheets or towels, clothes and curtains, underwears and sportswear .... that i could even share with 3 neighbor families who rejoiced gratifully.

 

KITCHEN:

 

Now we have everything to cook, dishes of all kind, tea pots, pans etc.. Yet i am still searching for the rare bird... a stove with an oven working with GAZ... well if you know something like this please let me know!!

Although it is absolutely not vital, it would be a must for home bread and cakes !!

 

FURNITURES:

Sideboard, wardrobe, beds, mats, tables, chairs, armchairs, even decoration objects, carpets, cushions ... made Saraswati become like a real house !

 

COMMUNICATION:

A computeur and a tablet have been generously given to me. Thanks to them i can be in touch again with you and the world and write presently these texts...

 

WHAT HAS BEEN PURCHASED - REALISED WITH YOUR DONATIONS :

Isolation material for Saraswati: carpet aluminium folio - probably not the best, but neither too expensive nor too difficult to install, it proves to be yet efficient

Basic tools to work.

Material for water system: pipes,taps, watering pipes (it was still very hot in september thus although burnt i continued to water the trees... and they seem to have loved it because they now flourish again ;o))))))))

Material for electricity: an invertor that i plug onto the car"s battery and provides 220 V from the 12 V battery. Like this i can work on the computeur in the farm, yet sparingly soas not to empty the cars battery.

 

LEGAL PROCESS FEES: I am very grateful to all of you for your donations mainly allowed to pay the totality of the legal process fees : 5000 Turkish liras - around 2300 Euros; Huge amount that i could not have paid otherwise...

 

Let me add also that we spent a very nice day with Antalya friends working on the isolation of Saraswati.

Hopefully other days like this will take place !

 

 

 

 

PRESENT SITUATION in the FARM

 

THE BIG TRANSFORMATION...

 

The farm's appearance is definitely changing, drastically i should say...

And now is more like a battlefield than a yogic farm !

Everywhere bulldozer, trucks, tractors, and other big machines ...

Noise, trees cut, trees falling everywhere, motor oil leaking on the field, village and forest people putting often garbage everywhere ....

Well enough to sometimes become crazy and shout on everyone with pain and anger !!!

Just cultures clash !!

Different visions about things ...

So because the yogi should be equanime in any situation, content whatever happens, this is what i try to cultivate however difficult it may be...

Anger may come out, tears and shout may come out ... like a storm .. but inside the witness is calm and observes ...

 

 

Because however difficult those times are, they are for sure the opportunity to evolve thanks to the Yogic and Sufi vision.

The transformation that occurs outside, is for sure also happening inside... Mirrors

So the main thing is to stay CENTERED, whatever the tsunamis or volcanos of emotions emerging suddently with overwhelming energy obscuring the clear  vision ...

VIVEKA .. VAIRAGYA

So keep contact with Clear Vision and Non Attachement whatever happens and be faithful in that ....

EVERYTHING that HAPPENS, happens for our GOOD and that of the UNIVERSE;

EVERYTHING

without any exception

 

Thanks to this very strong certitude rooted in me, i  can go through those events without becoming (too much !!!) crazy !!!

 

 

However once these terrible works will be finished, the same forest people, villagers and workers will look after the farm:

The field will be cleaned up, and ploughth according to my choices, the way i want.

And then the forest people will give to the farm lots of TREES and PLANT THEM for us.

So there is an interesting work going on with the Chief of the Forest Emin who is really helpfull at all levels whatever the difficulties that arise...

So hopefully these works will be finished before winter.. inshallah !

Next step in the next e-gazet with pictures :o)

 

LEGAL PROCESS

 

 

The farms lawyer has sent all the papers to the Court and now we wait for the first hearing, which should take place around January February.

Yet nothing very important will take place there. Every participant will only expose his case and requests.

So more to be known much much later, for it should take long time, at least one year, probably more.

Why so long if the responsible people have confessed their guilt?

Because there are so many people and companies involved that the big problem will be to find WHICH of them will accept fully the responsability and pay....

So ... more about this much much later in 2013 ...

 

 

NEW YOGA PROGRAM- WHEN WHERE HOW DOES IT CONTINUE

 

 

 

The Yoga program in Antalya broadens :o)

There will be two days HATHA YOGA  classes, on wednesdays and thursdays, and in addition one evening with MEDITATION practices and MAHA MRITYUN JAYA MANTRA chanting followed by KIRTANS on the tuesdays.

You may see all details from HERE

And deep thanks to ALL of you who make this possible by spreading the word, letting people know, by helping, and or participating .... thus taking also part in the life of the Yunus Emre farm who continues to fly like the Phoenix :o)))

 

 

PLANS

 

Yogi's work is to live the present moment.

Yet having plans, project, ideas allow to focus our energy (sankalpa) and build the future.

The main thing is to try to align our plans- desires with the ones of the Universe.

When our own individual plans projects are not that of the Universe, then Life shows us the lesson and it is often painful, and can only be painful if we do not accept to align with the Universe"s wishes...

For this, only SURRENDER can help.

Surrender or total FAITH in Life, in the Universe, giving up all desires to That which is Above and Superior to us...

SURRENDER only can help us to slowly slowly find the way to align our individual plans-desires with the Universe's one...

Then, and only then, pain and suffering dissappear

 

 Karma Dharma are in tune with eachother.

 

 

So with huge humility we can try to plan some ideas ... and letting their realisation in the hands of the Universe ...

 

WINTER :

Thanks to Mr the Kaymakam (Prefect), I may stay for free, in a warm and dry place for winter, in a kind of hotel in Bucak.I am writing these lines from there.

And hopefully using the daily shuttles (not always reliable though) i can come and go from Bucak to the farm, look after the dear animals (missing them already !!!) and come back in a warm place.

This may take place until spring /or until a house is built for me.

ANd there we come to the second plan suggested by Mr Kaymakam: we have made application for Help towards the Emergency Help Department of the Turkish Gouvernement, which looks after people after earthquakes, floods or fire events ...

So the application has gone and is now in the hands of the Governement and .. the Universe !

So .. you may wish to help too by sending your good wishes and energies so that this help might be granted ... and thus a house built for me  ???      :o)))

 

2013 SPRING AND FORTH

 

Again under many many conditions ... so only if ... if ... if actually the Universe agrees,

maybe the building of my house could take place

and maybe the building of other places like common house, kitchen, showers and toilets, all according to a new design which is under study with the KKY team whom i thank deeply !

So although all these constructions are planned to be made with local natural thus cheap material,

Although these constructions are planned to be realised by organising eco building camps with volunteers and karma yogis

there will still be need of money...even little ... so that they might become realised.

SO

Inshallah ... hopefully the Universe will help, and you can also help by sending your good energies and wishes and vibrations .. :o))

Donations are also always welcome of course:o) (Paypal : email :yunusemrefarm@yahoo.com  )

So specific news will be published when camps may take shape ...

 

And whatever the future will bring

my only wish is

to put my wishes

in TUNE

with those of the Universe.

Surrender

 

Om shanti

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HELLO TO ALL

 

For purely practical reasons i could not post any news since quite a long time, so this message is to give you, friends of the Yunus Emre farm shortly some informations, before i can write more.

Firstly now i am writing from the Saraswati tent in which a nice camp has been installed.

Yet as winter is coming, the local Kaymakam (Prefect) offered me stay in a hotel room during the hard times of winter which i accepted right away with great gratitude.

So thanks to our Kaymakam i will soon have a warm and dry place provided with electricity where i will thus be able to write more into details what has happened in the farm so far and what are the aims at present for a near future (very near for basically now living in the present moment only.)

Know that everything is OK.

Soon more news with pictures and a detailed list of all that has been done and realised thanks to YOU will be published.

In the meantime, be all well...

Hari Om
