The drive here to Veliyanad was not impressive, especially since the driver didn’t know where he was going. I secured the driver yesterday from the hotel. He assured me he knows the place with the signature Indian head nod and hand motions.<\/p>\n

Met with the teacher but since the course doesn’t officially start till tomorrow, no details are given yet. Currently meeting others and my new roommate just arrived. \u00a0She’s staying for about\u00a0a week.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ashram is very clean, very peaceful. The buildings are surrounded with trees – fruits and flowering. It’s a bit cooler here compared to the City.
