Days of great peace

The grey cloudy weather has given way to bright sun and heat. The temperature is climbing and just will get hotter and hotter. Particularly since the cleanout I have felt deeply peaceful and quiet; the energy of the ashram while the singing is going on is profoundly felt. Although all the songs are in Sanskrit, I know maybe 40% of the words, but still prefer to just sit quietly and meditate - usually for an hour and a half in the mornings, then about half that in the evenings. It varies.
Cathy has been shrugging off a cough that remains persistent and she has felt a bit below par. Today we again prepared our salad in the room. Just delicious. I've always carried a Birko jug to boil water/soups/cook eggs or whatever. It is sometimes handy to not rely on outside food sources. Today we added hard boiled eggs to our salad lunch (with take-away chapattis).
This morning I recognised an American guy who shared the room with Phil Cottingham and myself (and a few others) 32 years ago.
We are thinking to head down to Bangalore on Friday.
