« bright lights, little village »

on my last night at the ashram - the local village of neyyar dam was celebrating its last night of their festival...
the whole village was strung with beautiful lights... it lit up like a fantasy...
the festival ended with it's grand procession -
three trucks carried the men suspended by hooks through the town and then they were blessed at the temple.. and then onto, walking on fire... these men had fasted and meditated for 40 days to do this act of devotion.
what a drastic contrast to my days at the ashram.
it took alot of out me.
i felt torn inside.
all the same, this is their life, their devotion and they were committed with everything they had and that i admire.
gong in with a full, committed heart.
it was quite something to see and be a part of.
and from this little village of neyyar dam... we go onto
