On a mountain in Than

Baba on his head. A man once stood on his head for 12 years in Than.
We slept overnight at the monastery in Than. No one spoke any English except the wisecracking holy man who kept saying "no bus." Which was supposed to be a joke, but turned out to be true. We rode home hanging off the side of some guy's tractor. Everybody who saw us waved and had a good laugh.

Babas of the past.

sorry and happy for having the chance to see again the top of dinodhar we climbed it in hot afternoon and were greeted by a super friendly augar
(not fully initiated kanpath yogi)
dressed in black what a a climb from the back of the temple what a joy to reach up after longing to get there
to feel the the atmosphere of place charged with gorakh traditional
legend spend the night down pity there is not much pictures of the rest I lost mine in computer accident!!!! I still have the one of the room from the "pir" ghaddi
