What a pitty this is in a Yoga University & Ashram, where people should feel actually bliss and peace. But here they try to be very hard and give a lot of rules to try to control the students, wich don`t really work out. It creates a kind of negative energy around the campus. Nothing is propper here... It is a good example of "AYOGA" - what Yoga is NOT... But still I appreciate that to study here, because there is so much to learn, also about Indians and especially about myself. ... :) I went to Kerala by Bus. It was not a easy journey. The "Satellite Busstand" was totaly wrong placed in googlemaps, so the Taxi driver went first wrong with me. At the first Busstand I searched my Bus, than someone told me that I am wrong here. Luckily my Cap-driver came back as I called and after asking around all 100m "Sattelite Busstand" after 1hour we finally reached the correct Busstand and I didn`t miss the Bus. I was the only foreighner in the Bus and all the people stared at me. Not very nice feeling. Finally I met Jay, his family and some friends in Kerala. Jay came to pick me up after I walked some 20 min in a unknown direction, because he didn`t know where the Bus will stop. Good we have a phone with internet! But it was strange for me. To see him after 3 month it was like I am going to meet a distance friend, a little reserved. He gave a little hug and said hello to me, thats it... mhm... also the goodby after this week was not different. In India it is not typical to show emotions at the street. I think I will never get used to it... But his family was very nice and welcoming, we spend two days in the Hills in a House we rent, where we could see a lot of Tea plantation and Coconut trees. I could practise some Yoga and teach also and we went all together to see Pookot Lake and Banasura Hill. The Lake is very small and because of the raining time we saw many leeches. I would not recomment this place. But to see Banasura Hill is nice, only the maintainance of the Aquarium and plants there is not good. The fishes are all sick and swim in dirty yellow-brown water, some places they closed because of less maintainance. And again I realized that the place and Nature in India is magical, beautiful, perfect, but the people... Many don`t care... Yoga is originated from India, but is is universal and don`t belong anymore only to India. People went far away from Yoga here. I hope it will come back! In ancient time I guess Indians are completely different. Now I don`t see much about what is left of the Vedic Wisdom in this "modern" India. Maybe that is all part of the way to the truth and exactly what I have to experiance. Everything I thought is changing. It began with my close friends, family, City, Countries... Its like a new little stone is set for the fundament of knowleadge. My path in India will be long, I feel that I just began this journey . :o) Here are some Pictures of Arogyadhama (Yoga theraphy Center), Campus life and some impressions of the places in Kerala: KERALA:
