Travel Day 982 – Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA It was funny but after my friend had no energy yesterday to do anything, today it was reversed and I found myself unable to get past the hammocks on the rooftop of our guesthouse… Of course, yesterday had been a long and hot day, but even after […]
Travel Day 981 – Villupuram to Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA It was our Arrival Day in Tiruvannamalai and even if we still had problems pronouncing the name of this place, we basically had come for two reasons, Arunachala, the sacred Shiva Mountain and the famous Ramana Ashram… Our overnight train ride ended for us in […]
Travel Day 980 – Kanyakumari to Villupuram, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Today was one of those days that felt like a complete waste because nothing really worked out and nothing really got accomplished… At least after staying in the ashram for so long, I managed to wake up early enough to see the sunrise over the […]
Travel Day 979 – Sivananda to Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, INDIA One last time we had the usual 5.20am wake up call, but instead of going to the Satsang, we were walking to the bus station… Actually things were not quite as easy as we thought they would be. After almost being kicked out of the […]
Travel Day 978 – Sivananda Ashram, Kerala, INDIA When I woke up at 5.20am again, I felt the same as I did yesterday evening and I knew that this was definitely my last day in the Sivananda Ashram… Actually I had a really bad night, because I was so wound up after our stage performance […]
Travel Day 977 – Sivananda Ashram, Kerala, INDIA After our very interesting Friday, today everything was back to the normal schedule and it became increasingly difficult for me to motivate myself to fully embrace the daily program… We had the usual 5.20am wake-up call, the 6am Satsang, which I joined with my Tabla, the 7.30am […]
Travel Day 975 – Sivananda Ashram, Kerala, INDIA It was already day three in the Sivananda Ashram and when we were getting up at 5.20am again, I was not only feeling quite sore from two days of yoga and carrying wood, but I felt also bored and tired of the daily schedule… In order to […]
Travel Day 975 – Sivananda Ashram, Kerala, INDIA Actually the next day turned out to be pretty much exactly the same as the first had been, as it was simply following the same rigid schedule… The wake-up call was at 5.20am again, at 6am we had the same morning Satsang, at 7.30am we had the […]
Travel Day 974 – Sivananda Ashram, Kerala, INDIA A new experience was what I had wished for and a new experience was exactly what I was getting when the bell rang as early as 5.20 in the morning… Actually it wasn’t only the bell that rang but someone switched on all the lights of our […]
Travel Day 973 – Varkala to Sivananda, Kerala, INDIA It was almost hard to believe, but more than two weeks had already passed by since I had arrived in Varkala and now I had finally found a reason to actually leave and say bye-bye to Varkala Beach… Over the last couple of days I had […]
Travel Day 968-72 – Varkala, Kerala, INDIA While the last couple of days had been great and filled with little activities, now I decided to rather focus on some work on my website… Keeping up my diary during my travels had already become quite a challenge, because it gradually seemed to expand and take up […]
Travel Day 967 – Varkala, Kerala, INDIA Wow, today was Holi again, the festival of colors and I couldn’t help but reminisce about my last Holi festival in Kathmandu, Nepal… Two years ago when I happened to be in Kathmandu, the city went crazy during Holi with every single person, especially the kids chasing down […]
Travel Day 966 – Varkala, Kerala, INDIA After seeing all the waterfront areas up and down the shore, today I decided to explore the actual settlement of Varkala Beach a little bit… When I first arrived in Varkala I noticed already that there was the town itself, but then there was also Varkala Beach, which […]
