Rama Krishna Ashram

Today I went with a few people (one I know the others are her friends) to this Ashrams bookstore... the books are incredibly cheap... some 3rs and up! I bought about 10 (most are thin booklet style)...
Pretty funny when books are that cheap... just look at the cover... "hmmm looks ok", then the title... "ah yes, something I am interested in"... "ok... buy!" lol

The other funny thing was the store was actually closed (noon time close and it was noon) but we said we were from far away (well a 15 minute walk was quite far) so they let us in... after about 30 minutes of us being there they did kinda ask us to hurry up though...lol

Self practise

I took some time off during the holiday to self practise... it has been going quite well but I am finding that I will practise maybe every other day... with today being the worse (two days in a row no practise)

For me it is just about getting on the mat and doing 2 Sun Salutations (A) and then I am off.. but sometimes I need a crane to get me out of bed... and then when I do, it is too easy to think about showers and breakfast and then plans for the day... afternoon practise never happens for me, either morning or nothing...

What is it about the morning inertia? Why is it so hard to practise when I know that once I start I will love it? Even more, when I am finished I have 'unlimited' energy throughout the day? Almost maddening.... grrrr...hehehe

Mysore Link

This is pretty good, even has a video of a mysore practice at the shala as well as photo of a led class and pictures of the city, tina's cafe etc...
