govinda, jaya jaya, gopala, jaya jaya.
india changed everything.
that is me above attending the pushpa abhishek- an annual celebration and ritual bathing of the deities of the temple in literally >tons< of flowers flown in from all over india.
i finally got off my ass and pulled my own footage -- check me spitting flowers out of my mouth.
the whole journey was nothing but yoga every morning with the sunrising, fasting, travelling all over southern india (covering the state of kerala, which was so gorgeous and warm), driving harrowing roads, swimming in the arabian sea on my birthday (during a lunar eclipse too!) and eventually winding up in the north 4 hours south of delhi in the holy city of vrindavan (home of 5000 krsna temples!) where i have always wanted to go since i was 16. the veil of reality was thin there and the vibe heavy - it was a totally different world and was the perfect way to end the trip. maybe someday i'll put my photos online, but maybe not. honestly, i don't think i could ever describe my entire trip to anyone and do it justice. it was totally an experience exclusively for me and i accomplished what i set out to do.
i honestly haven't had much interest in writing lately, just living. 6 months offline is enough, i think. maybe i won't be away again so long, but ya never know.
life is incredible right now and i couldn't wish for more. blessed, indeed.
happy summer and enjoy yourself ... life's too short to not go for it.
radhe, radhe, radhe sham. much love.
