Travel Day 991 – Chennai to Delhi, INDIA It was already my last day in India and unfortunately it was nothing more than an Active Travel Day… After spending two days with Amma, today felt obviously a little bit empty again and besides sleeping-in, packing and getting some nice food, there was not much else […]
Travel Day 990 – Amma Ashram, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Yesterday we had finally left the ashram at 1am in the morning, but today we managed to be present pretty much the whole time while Amma was on stage form 11am to 5am the next day… When we arrived in the morning, the ashram was […]
Travel Day 989 – Amma Ashram, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Wow, after all the time at the beach, the rigid Sivananda Ashram and the strange place Tiruvannamalai with its somewhat miserable looking Ramana guru, I was so happy to come home and see Amma again… It really was a strange experience and maybe it actually […]
Travel Day 988 – Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Today I finally managed to get up at 5.20am again as I had done every single day while in the Sivananda Ashram, but today I did it to go back to the lookout on the Arunachala Mountain… Actually I was quite surprised when I got up, because the […]
Travel Day 987 – Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Initially I wanted to leave today and visit Vellore with its castle, as well as Chennai, but since the day without people was so enjoyable yesterday, I decided to stay a little bit longer… I was actually really surprised how different Tiruvannamalai felt yesterday after all the Westerners […]
Travel Day 986 – Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA After spending almost a week in Tiruvannamalai and getting to know all the foreigners in town, today the whole town had a very different feeling about it and the reason was no-one less than Amma… Amma was currently on her South-India tour and while I found myself […]
Travel Day 985 – Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Today was Sunday and it was Tamil New Year but for some reason everything felt really, really strange today… After going to bed at 5am in the morning, we were really only able to sleep until about 9am and then due to a power cut it was […]
Travel Day 984 – Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Finally we had managed to go to bed early and finally after getting some rest I was having more energy again and felt ready to do something… Strangely enough but for my friend it was the opposite again and his energy level was down. So we had […]
Travel Day 982 – Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Of course it got late again yesterday and of course we had to sleep-in again today, so it came to no surprise that this day seemed to be lacking energy and motivation again as well… It was really strange I thought and I wasn’t really sure if […]
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 […]
