rishikesh

Rishikesh is a great city. Last night we went to the daily evening Ganja Puja service on the Ganges and it was an incredible experience. The peoples faces displayed spiritual charges as they sang songs and clapped there hands. It seemed almost like a scene from a magazine, but it felt real and emotional. There was one girl my age whom I kept looking at and smiling as I watched her get into the experience and she would see me and smile right back, encouraging me to feel the way she did. I don't think I reached the point that she did but I certainly felt something. After the ceremony, we went to Chotiwalla's for dinner. They had amazing food. Actually, it wasn't the greatest food ever, but I was really excited because they had banana pancakes and my mouth was craving some relaxation after all the spicey fire I had been putting it through. Mere and I had an interesting monkey run in yesterday while searching for Yoga classes. One monkey scratched her and another hit the back of my leg when we were running from them. They were pretty scary and I don't think I'm going to get that close to them any more. This morning I did go to Danny's Yoga class with Cici and that was really cool. Although some devotions were pretty hard! I think I'll check it out again tomorrow. Well, I think its time to find some Chai.
