Noida, India
Noisy Noida
Noida is noisy.
People let off firecrackers everyday.
I guess it makes some of them happy.
From fairly close by, some of us guests heard a bomb go off. Well, it certainly sounded like that. The residents and public seem to take little
notice. But the freaks of nature
presented themselves. Serious
thunderclaps resounded in the second half of the day. Lightning flashes invoked the sky, sounding
like a crack and a tear of the most terrifying dimension. All like a threat. Very little rain came. But I cannot complain about the weather as
temperatures are moderate—below 20 degrees C.
I led the class from the 8th Canto of the Bhagavatam. It was nice to see our entire drama troupe in
attendance. They are a good bunch. Some of the members are a little frivolous at
times. Others take their sadhana
more seriously. Sadhana refers to
one's ‘work-in’. You've heard of ‘work-out’
for the physical. ‘Work-in’ is for
nurturing the soul. In the class, we
highlighted virtues over vices.
The resident monks are so kind to our group, providing us
with the best yoga food ever. We
call it prasadam. This particular
food is blessed.
Now for burning off some of those cells, it’s best to
walk. I found the outdoors tough here,
because of the quality of the air; it was not good with all the traffic and
noise. I chose to walk the
corridors. My knees felt great today,
thanks largely to Jamuna Jivana, who take to my massage at night.
May the Source be with you!
