The cold has started and its now common for a woolen cap to be worn in the early hours. As one grows older the cold sort of seems to get worse!!!!
Of course no rains - the north east monsoon has been a total let down.

November 2013

Sorry one and all the posts have sort of got delayed
Back after a much needed 2 week vacation, in time to reopen the RHC and get ready for the The Annual Gathering of the Krishnamurti Foundation India. The gathering itself  went off very well and there was much discussion around the theme of "Living the Teachings in a Secular World". For those interested a summary of the proceedings can be accessed at  http://www.rishivalley.org/features/features.htm
 
About 75 participants visited the RHC and were very happy to see the work which was happening here.
 
The RHC continues to be busy as the numbers show
