After class yesterday I went for a walk in the park just next door to our flat. It’s got lots of tropical trees, foliage and birds. Interestingly, the park closes for a few hours in the middle of the day, but when it’s open you will see\u00a0people walking, sitting,\u00a0studying, chatting …<\/p>\n

I love the Banyan trees. This is a single tree with many hanging\u00a0roots.<\/p>\n

Below is a large group of bamboo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\u00a0No, Evan, these are not the same photos I took in 2013!<\/p>\n

Here’s an arial view of the park from our dining room window. We look right out over it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/span>At dawn and dusk, the birds fly around making all sorts of bird sounds and landing\u00a0just outside our windows. It’s one of the highlights of\u00a0every day here. Since I am the first one up in the morning, I can sit with my cup of Nescafe and enjoy some personal time – just me and the birds. Here they are outside my bedroom window.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s an Indian version of a window screen. Last time I was here, there were no screens which means mosquitoes were able to get in.\u00a0These “Indian style” screens are velcroed to a wood trim around each window. They’re not very sophisticated, but they’re doing their job. So far I haven’t seen any flying insects in the flat.<\/p>\n

Last night I\u00a0observed the medical class and took notes on the pregnancy sequence given to four pregnant women in class.<\/p>\n

Prashantji:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today marks the day Prashant formally won me over. The last time I was here I spent the month in the medical classes because I was recovering from rotator cuff repair surgery, then after about the first 10 days I was permitted to attend\u00a0the women’s classes. I wasn’t allowed to go to any Prashant classes. His philosophical teachings are fabulous, and he’s witty and compassionate. I am thoroughly enjoying his classes.<\/p>\n

“Yoga is intuitive mysticism. Intuition. In-Tuition.\u201d<\/em> [an inward learning]<\/p>\n

” … that is why no one takes notes after Prashant’s class – Trikonasana Trikonasana Trikonasana! [big smile]”<\/em><\/p>\n
