RETURN TO PARADISE
Hot sun tortured me. What should I expect when my twisted brain imagined megalithic Buddha lying in the form of Uluru (Ayers) Rocks in the middle of the great Australian desert? Even in his transcendent vision, Buddha could not have seen that such a land existed. How dare I attribute and give credit to this…
BIRTHDAY ON THE ROCKS!
BIRTHDAY ON THE ROCKS! I will not apologize for returning to the Golden Rock in Myanmar (Burma) or the Bondo Rock in Kenya (https://bigbangyoga.org/buddhas-rock-in-kenya/) because I’m standing in front of another formidable stupa-like red rock. Here I remembered that it was my birthday with hand raised to swipe away flies! Who could have constructed such a…
WILL I EVER RUN AGAIN?
WILL I EVER RUN AGAIN? Agni, the god of fire, inflicted such revenge on me in India that I thought I would never run again. (see – https://bigbangyoga.org/god-agnis-revenge/ ). A few days after returning to Geneva I tried to run my habitual 7 km. My legs refused to respond. At the finish I felt having run a…
Buddha’s Rock in Kenya
Buddha’s Rock in Kenya (Posted on 20 August 2017) In March 2015 I first set my eyes on the world renowned stunningly shining Golden Rock in Myanmar (Burma). It is visited by thousands of tourists and worshiped by masses of local believers (see https://bigbangyoga.org/natures-supremacy-over-religions-and-gods/). Here is another view of the same Golden Rock I am…
God Agni’s Revenge
God Agni’s revenge, 4 June 2017 It looks that Agni is preoccupied with world’s climate problems. It’s understandable when he, rather she, had to handle difficult persons like Mr Trump. Naturally she did not notice me, a retired hydrologist. Not long ago, I was engaged in a campaign of elevating drought in some parts of…
Running is a healthy addiction
Running is a healthy addiction Geneva 2017 Half Marathon started at 8.30 on a cool and rainy Sunday morning of 7 May. At 7 km rain stopped and every one took off their rain-vests or plastic wraps and the fun increased. I was fit but I had not trained to run this race. Nevertheless, finding…
Never too late to run?
I learnt to run in the Nairobi Teachers Training College (1955-56) under the guidance of our physical training professor, McNiel. It is not because I was born in Eldoret, the centre of famous long-distance runners, that I never completely gave up running. But I never ran longer than one mile. It is well known that…
Kale, the Sukuma wiki of Kenya
Sukuma wiki of Kenya Those who grew up in Kenya or its neighbouring countries should remember the taste of ‘sukuma wiki’. It is possible that you did not eat it because it tasted better with ugali the type of food you did not eat in those days. Sukuma wiki means “push the week” which implies that…
Bed time Lure – a dialogue
BEDTIME LURE – a dialogue – Adi Granth, the First Book , what I call Book-guru because it is a person, is an anthology compiled in 1604 under the supervision of Arjun Dev, the fifth guru of the Sikhs. He edited it with the help of other learned men. Gobind Singh, our tenth guru, expanded…
RESPECT THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
I had encountered the spirit of Stonehenge on the Island of the Celts (now England) in October 2016 (https://bigbangyoga.org/my-return-to-stone-age/ ). It foresaw my intentions and where I was going and landed on the Pacific coast before I. May be it was there and everywhere all the time. How could I know? , Well, I continue to encounter…
