I only heard about the Valley and it's beauty
August is the best time to go there to see the blossoming flowers and blue berries all around.
It's located at a very high altitude in the mountains and it's tough trek too, I might go there this comin...
dancing in city is more western kind of thing
but if we happen to go to the countryside and touch the tribal areas we could get the real taste of the culture :)
this is what I did most of the time
but since this job thing came in my life it has totally changed
valley of flowers in himalayas is a very beautiful place - in some yogis in their books wrote that the valley is kind of magical, anybody goes th...
I watched the first video. That is so good! I love all of the dancing! It is so amazing. We don't have any culture that compares with that. That is why I would like to see it in person. Do you go to festivals like that very often Rama?

I am dasi, servant of, my name comes from my guruji Srila narayana Maharaj, i am canadian.. there are several refferences to Menaka in the vedas.. there is refference to the celestial denizen, dancing on the bottom of ocean making sage fall from deep meditation, Parvati's mother was named Menaka, and my name actually comes from a Gopi, one of Krishna's darling maidservants .. but which ever i feel fortunate to be blessed with her name, and i feel very connected to it in all of the different stories :) I am to the left in the photo, Raghulekah my godsister is to the right .. we are both from same guruji.. Namaste
hello my friend,
i'm ok, apart from my damn ankle. monday i went over on it when running and i sprained it. it was agony. i'm having exercise withdrawel symptoms because I haven't been able to do any all week! not good!but I'm upping my game with the raw, so I'm feeing more positive about everything just my simply doing that.
I've finally had a break though with my art diploma;found something that i can enjoy. if you'd like to know more you can ask me about it.
had to really reorganise my brain the past week. i've been hurt recently, but i've understood that it's all so superficial to be troubled by in this wonderful world.
i'm keeping myself together, and that's taking some energy, so i'm tired, and need to rest.
how are you, sweetie?
i've been ok. havinga bit of trouble at the moment. I've lost who I am and have been another person for a couple of weeks, going to the pub and smoking etc. this isn't me and I feel I have to rebirth myself. I've met a guy too. he smokes and drinks but is open to what I have to say and my real lifestyle. it's be good if he could quit smoking with me. there's also the issue of my thoughts...I know, I shouldn't think, but I've recently been really battling with my thoughts over weight and the heavy emotions dependent on this, so everything feels very bizarre. yesterday and today I have wanted to cry so much...just sit down and cry; like i need to get a hude weight off me. for the first time in my life i have been going out and havinga good time with new friends , but this has been in a scene that isn't mine: of heavy drinking and tobacco. I know I have the strength to be 'my own woman', but/and the social conact is new and something that has made me forget my past to a degree.
I just find it sad that when I do see a little happiness there is a great downside to my actions; because deep down I'm not happy if I'm not healthy.
I guess I want to get life sorted...I feel like I'm getting there, but still have a long way to go.
Please enlighten me...
I had a kale salad (an entire bunch's worth), a green smoothie that filled the entire Vitamix, and a slice of raw raspberry cake that I got from Rockin Raw, a restaurant here in NYC. I wanted to make a green juice but I didn't have the time.
