We went on recommendation to this place for the last three days, and apart from the room like Kedowa, with a doll bath, and cubatt, the place has been a boot camp.
All mild food, wake up 6am with chamomile tea, 7-9 am, astanga yoga, massages, meditation etc. If I turn up at home. As a guruji please phorgive me! There were odd Americans, some Australians, students, etc. Hardest part, no tea, coffee, exercise, exercise, and master like Chandio!
Master ‘Chandulal’ almost kicked me and slapped Meena when we could not do the squats. The yoga lady instructor is almost worth coming to visit this place…anybody have bio data for a 26 plus year male of konkny, Brahmin background?
We had great views, and feel healthy and rested now, and did headstand today, and all feel supple. Ayur, for those who don’t know, refers to balance of mind, body and soul, using the vedas, to discover the Self. Not sure whether I did, but discovered how to operate google better!
So today we are in Lonavala, a hill station about a couple of hours from Mumbai, staying at Fariyas. Good hotel, owned by Ismailis, as I saw a picture of the Aga Khan, reminded of my stay with this lovely community at their hostel in Kisumu.
On the we had the usual Namkeen dhal, nuts, and Meena resolved her coffee deficiency with copious amounts of Nescafé.
