1.- Drink the water, here is why
2.- Talk negatively about any school of yoga. I rather speak positively, I am a believer in the power of words, they are spells, the cleaner the vocabulary the better. Furthermore, hey I think I will only speak positively about it all.
3.- Beg for a pose. This might be hard, but I pledge to surrender
4.- Stay up late. Which will not be a stretch, I kind of go to bed pretty early every day. Do you? What time?
5.- Pay enormous amounts of money for a Vedic astrology reading. I found that the guy next to Santosha (they have no website but it is a brunch place near the shala with great food) was exactly right on what he predicted when I went to him 2 years ago, and it was only 500 Rps, or about 12 dollars, compared to the going rate of 100 for the featured astrologer in fashion on those days.
6.- Go on safari or anything exotic with that kind of "ring" to it
7.- Wonder too far from Gokulam. Not that I would not want to, I would actually love to see everything, travel around, visit Chennai (Sivanadan's Asrham) Goa, the Dali Lama's residence, Varanasi, or the city of death, and more, but it is unlikely I will have that much time. I suppose all these cities go on the post of things I would like to do when in Shiva's country!
If you happen to be thinking of going, here are 9 tips to travel safe.

love this list!!i would also love to visit others towns but i dont have enough time , so i stick to mysore and sometimes i do only mysore, sometimes mysore and pondichery or bangalore...
ReplyDeleteHmmm pondichery... Never heard of that town... Curious now... :)
ReplyDeleteI drove through Chennai to get to a hotel near the airport and the entire hour ride smelled like I was cruising through a humongous, rank port-a-potty!
ReplyDeleteI mean there are blocks like that in Mysore but not half hour stretches in a CAR (rather than rickshaw).
I realize this isn't so positive of a comment unless one likes the smell of sewers!
???
Oooh gee maybe I'm going to have to change my naked profile picture!
ReplyDeleteB, I was wondering bout your picture, can't quite make out what is what... So you actually drove? Goodness...that road sounds horrible
ReplyDeleteIn a taxi! I'd never so much as ride a bicycle in India. People were always walking around all scraped up Too crazy over there & I'm a space.
ReplyDeleteTo the top right is my nipple with a star over it - adobe illustrator.
Yes I see now, wow!!! Sexy!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been in a strange mood lately! I'll change it pretty soon though.
ReplyDeleteJust curious, why did you leave AYNY, not that it is any of my business and I understand if you don't answer this question! :-)
ReplyDeleteI am always curious how people jump around from teacher to teacher.
Hi Anon, it was a logistics thing. First I was practicing with John until he left yoga sutra, I also happened to move downtown so I asked Eddie if he would accept me and he did... Then about a year later we moved far from downtown very far, and John had started teaching, so again talked to Eddie and John... Then made the switch...
ReplyDeleteHi Claudia , When are you going to Mysore ?Will u be coming to Chennai ? If u need any help during your visit to Chennai let me know and I will do my best to help you out as I stay in Chennai .Have a great time in Mysore .
ReplyDeleteKrishna, I am afraid Chennai (Madurai?) is not in the cards for me this time, but. I would love go come and visit and have a cup of chai with you! When that happens you will be the first to know, cant wait!
