Following three days of retreat, the monks began the new phase this morning with the usual havana in Kadavul Temple. This phase will be six days long, with Ardra Abhishekam taking place on Sun 2 and a tour day on Sun 5.

"God is with you all the time. There is no work to be done. Move in conformity with changes within your environment. Be steadfast in truth. Natural forces are countless. Be you, your own self, while at the same time recognizing all these. That is wisdom. We do not do anything. Everything happens of its own accord." Siva Yogaswami

Yoginathaswami and I leave the Rajasthan cow ashram at dawn on November 2, picking up Palak and our photographer Arun Mishra on our way. Four hours to the Ahmenabad airport and then a flight to the capital.
