the new issue of vanity fair has a photo spread on indian and western yogis … some pics are a little odd, but most are rather pretty.
here’s the pic of guruji, looks like it was probably taken within the last few years. it captures his smile rather well … he has this love and happiness that seems to radiate from the inside.

i’ve been thining about this upcoming india trip as something that is happening soon, but still far off. i finally looked at a calendar and realized that i’m leaving in 2.5 weeks. i guess there really isn’t a whole lot i need to do to prepare, i have a couple of things to buy and i need to get my apt ready for someone to live in while i’m gone … but that’s it really. i’m looking forward to having the time off over there to focus on my yoga studies, both asanas and sanskrit. i have room here to focus on it too, but there i will not have anything else i need to deal with, no teaching, no big social events … just getting up early, doing the practice, doing my studies, eating healthy … probably taking loads of pictures too.
