I woke up this morning to hear my grandson, Alo, has a new baby brother! My daughter-in-law, Akuch, gave birth to our fourth grandchild (third grandson) Kando Mithyang Jack Madut. Pronounced “condo.”

• Born August 4, 2015
• 9:43am (they arrived at the hospital at 8:00 am)
• Natural birth!
• 8 lbs 5ozs
• 21 inches long
• 14 1/4″ head

Mom, Dad, Alo and baby are all doing well! I’m sorry I wasn’t there to see the birth, but I’ll get there soon!

Coconuts

Coconuts are sold all over the place here. A couple days ago this coconut vendor was overjoyed when I asked if I could get a picture with him. He even gave me his address (c/o Sunil Medical Stores – in background) to send him a hard copy after I return.

Here’s the coconut guy we get our coconut milk from outside the Institute after class/practice. This is how he shucks the coconut to get the flesh. These coconuts are immature so there is no flesh (but plenty of milk), but he was happy to perform the act for the camera. Note, he still has all his fingers.

Geetaji:  Utthita Trikonasana – “Your buttocks belongs to you. Your buttocks does not belong to the person behind you.”  Mulabandasana – “Bring your heel forward. Now your heel belongs to me. Your heel does not belong to you.”
