Lost in India with a Backpack

By Naginder S. Sehmi 1 – Palace in Wheat Fields I sleep so deeply that I rarely remember dreams in the morning. This rule was shattered after my return from India. I had gone there “to lose myself”. That is what I told everyone before I had left Geneva on 8 March 2000. My plan…

RETURN TO DUBLIN

RETURN TO DUBLIN, THE FAIR CITY – APRIL 18 2018 I entered the “front door”, that is how it has been called for centuries and it is still the same a tall wooden door. I felt as if I have never left that place although I was returning to my old university after fifty-five years.…

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…

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…

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…

STONEHENGE TO MARSEILLES

 From Stonehenge to Marseilles It’s 7.00,19 October, 2016, I step into the empty pedestrian street with many small restaurants with shutters still down. Turning left towards the nearby old Port I witness the bright full moon in the blue grey sky that the sun has not yet succeeded to dim. The strong mistral whipped the…

STONEHENGE CURE IN BATH

A PERFECT CURE Quite a few days earlier I  fixed to meet my close and dear ones in Cardiff. This intention did not please the Stonehenge spirit that was continuously shadowing me all the time. It subtly changed the  minds of the people I would have loved to see or made them unavailable on that day.…

STONEHENGE MAGIC AND TWO JAGJITs

STONEHENGE MAGIC AND TWO JAGJITs I attribute many coincidental things that happened to me to the magic of Stonehenge.(See the previous post : https://bigbangyoga.org/my-return-to-stone-age/) Foreseeing that I was coming it took over the control of nearly all my intentions before I even stepped on the Stonehenge Island. What I tell you is my after-thought; I…
