Liking the ashram as there is a constant supply of drinking water, nice toilets and feel happy sleeping in the open thatched dorm as there are lots of people around and don’t feel scared there will be spiders (think the rats, squirrels and monkeys eat them all).
5.30: Wake up bell
6.00: “satsung” 30 min silent meditation ideally cross legged (that did’nt last long), chanting for ages (some chants are ok, some bad as the teacher training students are forced to lead chants and not all of them can sing). Get a little snack at the end.
7.30: chai
8.00 – 9.50: First “asana” – yoga class hard work but really good I can see we will progress very quickly.
10.00: Lunch – hare krishna chanting reminds me of hare krishna free food at glasto. Food really good – non spicy veg south Indian food.
11.00: “karma yoga” – chores my job sweeping and mopping big hall.
13.30: chai
14.00: Lecture about yoga and a tour of ashram. Met lots of really nice people from all over the world and they are all normal.
16.00: second yoga class till 17.50
18.00: Dinner
20.00: An hour and half of meditation and chanting then a snack.
22.00: lights out, easy to sleep!
Not bad for a fiver a day!
