What a beautiful day! It is getting warmer here and the air and sky is clearer, as summer is approaching.
Walking to the yoga Shala I saw this beautiful Rangoli design come to life, being made before my eyes. I asked the artist how long it took her to make it- it is one of the most elaborate that I have seen. She said it took about 45 minutes to make. She said she is having company tonight for dinner- ah- part of the decor!
After yoga and breakfast, I marched down town for a bit of retail therapy and I met an amazing, handsome shop owner who grew up in Rajhastan and now lives in Mysore. He told me he is a Brahman, the highest caste in the caste system. These people you can recognize by their sharp features and deep set eyes. They are the thinkers- the elite intelligencia. His name is Badrinarayun. I was noticing his interesting hair style when he whipped out a picture of himself with long hair- taken in Rajhastan and another one with a turban- dramatic- holding a rifle- bizarre- colorful. I bought 2 wrap skirts and I had fun taking pictures, drinking in the exotic life all around me. He had an altar with a whole slew of yogis and he introduced me to each one . I thought – wow- here is an Indian who really does yoga! Such a kind and gentle man.
Kumar’s Past Life class is getting down to the nitty gritty . We are doing regressions on each other now. And I am feeling a bit overwhelmed by the scope of it all. It is a big bite to chew and I’m not sure I’m up to the task.
Tomorrow is a no yoga day so we have a field trip planned- going to see how silk is made – I will tell you all about it!
Love , Annie
