Keeping in Touch Hi, Mariellen.
Just to keep you up to date, I'm in Vietnam now. Being near Wi Fi is iffey, so I haven't kept up a blog. Thanks for the recommendation of the ASUS. I've been able to prepare teachings for the Fall.
I spent the first 2 weeks here in the hospital, with Swine Flu. That took a while to get over, and I feel much better now.
I'm still enjoying your blog.
Lovely pictures and narrative Thank you for your beautiful pictures and narratives. :) They gave a face to the places that you have been. Enjoy your journey.
Hello Mariellen Ward Hello!... this is the astrologer you met at Rishikesh. You visited me at my place and thereafter I joined you up to Anand Prakash Ashram as I had to meet Viswaketu. Hope you remember now. well, I read some of your blogs and learned that you are still in India somewhere in Rajasthan. Keep it up as you yet to explore lot many things... best wishes. Arindam

oh, the colour I think I would like Indai very much. The colour is super-natural and in my experience of the places I have loved... this colour radiates from the hearts of the people who live there! I am lining up a space for you to teach your teen class at...touch base and I can share this with you :)
lovely I love the sound of this ashram. So beautiful and peaceful. Your friends seem great. I am so happy you are having such a great time!!! xoxoxoxox
Marriellen , I think this is your best writing. You must write a book about your travels in India...leave some stuff off your blog for the book for paying readers lol.. wishing you a safe journey thru Bharat Mata.. Arun

Life in India is tough I am greatly enjoying your narratives on India. Am an Indian myself and I just want your readers to notice that living is hard in India at a grassroot level. You may imagine how these people are working laboriously to earn enough money to make life just a day longer. On the other side are people with wealth, people who are fortunate to have enough money to see all this happening in real. There is a sharp contrast in living standards even within India, leaving aside North America.
Additionally, life may be calm and peaceful, but it is certainly not evolving. Rishikesh and Haridwar, as you see them now, were very similar 30 years ago also. Hardly anything has changed, may be quality of roads. If development is coming these people's way, we should be feeling good rather than thinking that the culture is being lost. Given a chance, these people are very likely to choose western style development over present.
venus it is! Mariellan Yes that is venus.. it is crescent shape if you look with binos.. it is the brightest object in the sky right now next to moon
Thanks for sharing

wow This is your best blog yet. These people sound like amazing individuals. Although the place does seem enormously intense it seems to me that no one could ignore the depth of humanity that exitst there. Bravo!!!
THANK YOU Mariellen, I've enjoyed reading all of the entries to your blog, but for some reason this one really resonated with me. I felt like I was there with you. Thanks so much for the experience.

I began planning to go to India in January 2005, during yoga teacher training in Toronto, and left for my first six-month trip on December 4, 2005. I have been back five times since then, for a total of 14 months in India ... so far ...
