yogi in the world, yogi on yatra

To friends, family, sangha, fans, supporters, those wanting to be inspired and entertained, those genuine seekers and yogis, those raising families, holding down a 9 to 5 helping those in the world, and those on yatra- spiritual pilgramage

I'm not on a vaction here... those who come to the ashram for a free meal like the Holland toursit or anyone else quickly leave for wine, women, and wealthly life in Goa. Here is a typical schedule each day, I am doing my "job" as a genuine yogi daily.

4:50 am to 6am chanting the 1,000 names of the Divine Mother
7 to 9am ashtanga vinyasa, meditation, prayama breath work
9 to 9:30am breakfast
10 to 1pm seva, selfless service
1-2pm lunch
2-6pm Seva, selfless service
6:30am to 8pm traditional devotional songs
8-9pm dinner

I sleep on the floor on hard to soft cot, take cold water bucket showers, live in the most beautiful location I've ever been in w/ bald eagles, ducks, the Arabian sea on my right, the backwater canals on my left.
The food is all veg, wholesome, but this is a place to do spiritual work. I plan to return to the world with the blessings of Momma India to each one of you who respect and support my path and want me as your friend, lover, brother, and so forth. I have things to fulfill in the world, a beautiful girlfriend in CO, jobs and dreams/goals/dharma-life calling to fullfil, but now is the time for sadhana- intense spiritual practice and going on pilgramage. A Shiva sadhu gave me dharsan today and it is time to put this blog on hold to once a week or once a month or for awhile. Shiva is raining shakti down and I can't be in the world and doing dharma, so long for the time being. I am with you in spirit.
Love and Dharma
Om namah shivaya
