Calmer in Rishikesh

---

Its calmer now in Rishikesh now that Holi is over. It took its toll here with one youth drowning in the Ganges and others misbehaving as noted in the comment section of my last blog entry.

We have spent time walking along the Ganges and that has been great for me. The meditations and Qigong have been very special. The qi is very high. Have thought of teaching here for awhile and I noticed someone has a flyer already around town for Qigong Taichi, a 33 form Yang Style set. Don't know if I will put one up myself until we finalize our plans here.

We have visited the Shivananda Ashram and Annya took the Yoga classes for ladies. Only held at 5:15 pm, the gents practice at 6 am. Since we are staying in Laksmanjhula, across the river and around the bend. it is a long walk to the Ashram and back. We have broken the walk into half vikram or auto rickshaw and walking our side of the river.The qi is great here.

We took a trip up the mountain to Nilkanth and the Shiva temple. We had a chance to walk uphill enjoying the sites . It was great getting out into more remote areas. The ride was hair-raising around hairpin curves with sheer drop offs. It surely is an adrenaline rush being in any car ride here in India. This much more so.

Hey , we made it there safe and sound. Had a great time. Tomorrow we head up the other side of the river to Kanja puri.
