Why I Chose to Live in Fiji

If you are lucky enough to have spent time in Fiji, you've interacted with people consistently labeled the "friendliest" and "happiest" on earth. The internet is full of bloggers who presumed that must be tourism hype... until they came and experienced it for themselves! Expats who have moved here, and of course Fijians themselves, are all well aware of this welcoming and inclusive spirit, and how infectious it can be. After all, who can't use more "happy" in their lives?
The same is true for Wrenn Edwards, our real estate sales and marketing coordinator. Wrenn has lived in Australia, Europe, and the USA, but it was the welcoming, treat-you-like-family culture that exists in Fiji which compelled her to make it her home.
She talks about that, and about living in Pacific Harbour (Fiji's adventure capital and home to Nanuku Resort Fiji) with true admiration and appreciation in our latest video.

Great add Nanuku Fiji.... i am a Fijian now living in Europe for over 20 years. I go to Fiji almost twice a year. Being a world traveler, i know there are two sides of every nation i visit. I just take the good side and prayer that God would help the nation develop more good then housing the bad esp Corruption. Well, if you get to Fiji and realize you don’t really enjoy the place, take the other free will offer called, YOU MAY LEAVE. Don’t ever assume that what you went through eps if it was bad, that is not what the country or nation represents. The steps of the righteous are ordered by God so, if you were in the wrong place at the wrong time, we are sorry for your loss. Just be wise in the choices you make. Vinaka!

But we don't cry about it...we just carry on and celebrate the good in life....last I recall this notion of greener pastures overseas is a notion of complete non sense itself.

RAM NARAYAN RAM Chant this Mahamantra irrespective of your religion-nationality-caste and colour. This mantra is not originated from a particular religion(so-called). It is a concentrated form of the universal tune. Neither this RAM represents the Ram of the Ramayana, nor this NARAYAN represents the Narayanan of Satya Yuga. This RAM is the echo of the endless void and this NARAYAN is the echo of the visible world. The human race has advanced a lot in terms of agriculture, science, technology, medicine, astronomy etc. But when it comes to humanity, then we see that the trend line has almost touched the bottom limit. Our true self has been covered with our bad deeds and ill thoughts. Because we have gone far from the tune of our conscience and nature. We are drowned in the dark ocean of ignorance. We have to lit the fire of knowledge up. For that we have to generate heat. Sound energy can be transferred to heat energy. By repetitive chanting of the Mantra heat is generated. That will wipe out that darkness of ignorance from within. We are nurturing our body with food but we are not nurturing our consciousness. To nurture our consciousness we have to feed it with Dhwani(sound). That is RAM NARAYAN RAM. At the time of chanting you have to put Omkar - RAM(O) NARAYAN(O) RAM. What ever you do, where ever you are, what ever your belief may be, which ever deity you worship, that doesn't matter. Just go chanting this MAHANAM (great name). That will help your conscience to abloom and guide you perspicuously. When you will follow the directives of your conscience, then you will commit no sinful act. If each and everyone becomes conscientious then there will be no need of any spiritual leader or preceptor to preach what to do and what not. Then the tune of the whole human race will be at par with that of nature. Then the world will become the heaven itself. 🌹🌷🔱RAM NARAYAN RAM🔱🌷🌹
