OH MY GOD, THE HEAT!!! THE HEAT!!! 115 degrees and rising. Last monday was the hottest day in Varanasi, EVER in April! There are constant rotating power outages in Varanasi, and all of India in fact. My fan is not working! I'm sweating when I wake up, I'm sweating as I walk, I'm sweating as I eat, I'm sweating as I sleep. I'm just dredged in my own sweat, and I'm having to drink 6 liters of water a day. Varanasi is - India in the raw - according to one gui...

I've already planned my next trip here. You have to go. In the last 2 months, I have experienced it all. At least it felt that way. I don't think my brain can wrap itself around this place. It's unbelievable. Intense. Incredible. Frustrating. Filthy. Happy. Life, all thrown ...

I am awakening. I am becoming a vegetarian. Going deeper into meditations. I was feeling terrible on a bus ride during the week, and I turned my head slightly to the left and saw on the side of a passing shack read "DRINK WATER". I drank water and felt 100 times better. The Kumba Mehla Festival is the largest gathering of people in the world. Largest in the world. I have spent over 2 months in India and my knowledge of the Hindu religion can be s...
