After collecting the 1 Mukhi (1 face = expensive so they tell me) chain and questioning everyone about it's authenticity we get stuck in an apparantly rare traffic jam in Delhi.

... a nice safe spot. I didn't regret my decision to go in the Ganges at all. We hung around the waterfall for I'd say...30 minutes before turning around and driving back into town for something good to eat. We went to the Freedom Cafe and I had some paneer pakora while Carla had the palak paneer and Paulo had the malai kofta. Carla and Paulo wanted to check out this temple some 7 km away but I didn't feel up to it. I had been in the habit of taking at least 1 hour in ...

... went and enjoyed the walk up the montain and the refereshing dip in the very cool pool at the top. At times we think we could live like this forever, doing yoga and meditation (attempting to), getting three meals a day, a clean room to sleep in, and no real expectations or demands from anyone, all for $12.50 Canadian per person/day! Our next stop is Kanda village and R.O.S.E., a volunteer organization where we hope to be put to work.

... had begun around 3a so there was no telling how long this could go on (my overnight train to Varanasi was scheduled for 8.35p from Haridwar and it was already approaching 2p with almost a whole day's tour still to fit in). When we were finally allowed to move our vehicle off to the side briefly that is when I began to feel the greatest threat of danger. I remember at least once our car was banged on with open hands, not directed at us per se but simply to let off ...

... participant, not just a spectator. If meeting the Swami was surreal, this was over the top. We sat next to the Swami during the entire ceremony and were invited to participate in all aspects. Some of the other tourists in attendance (including those from Ananda) had to wonder what made us so special. The ceremony involved a bunch of singing and lasted about 30 minutes. After which we were escorted back to Swamiji's personal meditation area along with some ...

... at the station, where a group of Sikh pilgrims were waiting to board the bus for the temple. Without much trouble I found the right train and car with my name printed on a list taped to the outside, boarded, and took my seat. As the train started moving my feeling was "this is it?" I hadn't faced any challenges yet and this seemed uncharacteristic of India. I climed up to the bed hanging from the ceiling and fell asleep as the train smoothly coasted towards ...

I spent the weekend in Rishikesh with five other EAPers. We arrived in Lakshman Jhula, the livliest and busiest part of Rishikesh, on Friday a day of language school and a two hour taxi ride. None of us had realized the elevation we would lose and packed entirely too many cold weather clothes for the balmy climate. We put on our backpacks and crossed one of the two suspension bridges that span the holy Ganga River! We booked two rooms at the Jaipur Inn, dropped off our luggage and ...
