Namaste Everyone,

I arrived at the ashram one week ago. What a difference it is, being away from the cities and in the fresh air of the mountains. The ashram is beautiful, with many temples dedicated to different deities, a shrine to Neem Karoli Baba, and his takhat, decorated with flowers, where he used to hang out and give darshan. Now, Siddhi Ma, known lovingly at Mataji, or simply Ma, has taken over in giving darshan, and it is a blessing for us to sit at her feet. We are taking in every moment we can!

Rather than staying in the ashram, our friends recommended we stay at the Garden Valley Resort, which is a little shangri-la paradise cottage only 5 minutes up the road. While most people seem to lose weight when they travel to India, we have managed to land in a foodie’s heaven. Here at the Garden Valley Resort, the proprietor is a gourmet chef, feeding us 3 delicious vegetarian meals a day, with most of the vegetables coming right out of their garden! It is beautiful and peaceful, with plenty of time for us to meditate, read, and be introspective. For two people who live such busy lives, it has been a real challenge to slow down enough to smell the sweet fragrance of the roses. Oh how sweet it is!

Tomorrow, we leave for the remote village of Jageshwar, home to many ancient temples, and a view of the snow peaks of the Himilayas. I will keep you posted on my adventures.

Meanwhile, please tune in to my interview with Rameshwar Das,?this Thursday at 10am on the Progressive Radio Network. Rameshwar Das is an old, satsang friend, who, along with Ram Dass, spent time in India with Neem Karoli Baba. Together, they co-authored their latest book, Polishing the Mirror: How to Live From Your Spiritual Heart.?As you listen to this interview, I will be up in the foothills of the Himilayas, in the very place that Ram Dass and Rameshwar Das met their guru, Neem Karoli Baba (also known as Maharaji and Baba). This latest book is the perfect premier to inspire you to start a spiritual practice, or to rejuvenate the practice you all ready have. Either way, the book is a definite read! It is written with love, humor and the wisdom of Ram Dass, Rameshwar Das and Baba!
