Strong Back, Open Heart

So here I am, in an amazing land, feeling a little refreshed from a couple of days rest, although the days have also been full, and my soul feels as it has a little more capacity. Again, not sure if I’m staying here yet, but I do konw that I’m still not ready to face […]

Do I Stay or Do I Go

Yah Old Man, But You Never Had This!

The Pilgrimage Continues

Tomorrow I’ll be heading off to somewhere, I think the place is called Karur, near Trichy. I went to visit my sadhu friend Shiv (Sivarama) this evening and he invited me to join he and about 10 other Sadhus on a trip where they’ve been invited. He said sometimes, when there is some special ceremony […]
