1) I bought some bananas and oranges from a stall, cost 40 Rs. I gave him 100 Rs, and he didn’t have change. He walked over to one of the beggars sitting on the steps nearby to get change.
2) We happen to have a television in our hotel room. I woke up yesterday around 7 am to watch the last two periods of the Canada U.S. Olympic hockey game (we lost!). Watching the Vancouver Olympics in Rishikesh!
3) I am starting to recognize some of the cows.
4) Lakshman Jhula is a beautiful hanging footbridge that takes you from the west bank to the east bank of the Ganges. It is about 2 metres wide, and can get crowded with people coming and going. And with motorcycles, freely wandering cows and monkeys trying to get through!
5) We go most mornings for Satsang with Prem Baba, a guru who is from Brazil, speaks Portuguese with English translation, and who also incorporates Brazilian Shamanic traditions in his teachings.
What a world! What a life!
Hi Paul,
ReplyDeleteA very nice and full of insight post.
You are right: What a world and what a life!
It makes sense: who else would have change other then the beggars?
Cows and monkeys crowding out people of the bridge, must be a sight to see...Who wins?
In the picture Amy seems to be the winner and the little monkey sitting on the side of the bridge.
I read the beautiful Yoga post, but I did not comment yet.
Cheers,
Erich.
Let's ope that Canada wins at Hokey tonight against the Germans so we may get another chance against the US.
