“Madu meikkum kanne” one of my most favourite pieces on krishna.
In this clip, Yashoda is telling Krishna not to go out because the animals in the forest will scare him. She adds details on how he will be swallowed by an animal and how she will later find him crying inside the stomach of some big animal. (I’m sure many parents tell their children stories like this to keep them from doing some things 🤣)
But Krishna is adamant and says that all the animals are his friends.
Full version is on my YouTube channel
Happy Janmashtami!! ♥️

The @nationalgalleryaus had some beautiful works of art. I was lucky to see the stunning, large, Jackson Pollock, a large installation type of immersive work of a multitude of indigenous artists and a number of other works from around the world.
The James Turell “within without” looked like a shiva lingam surrounded by water to me. A questioning of the space that we occupy in ourselves and in this world. I danced for a little while… more on that in my next post…

I went to “The worlds longest lunch” at Treasury Gardens in Melbourne yesterday. The weather was beautiful and there were lots of people from different avenues of life eating together. I think the lunch seated almost 1000 people in the gardens.
I had the vegetarian meal, it was light and appetising. The arrangements were beautiful and it was great to meet so many people from different parts of the world.

Walking slowly, I hear
A sound, a trickle, a wail, a whimper.
My inner being yearning
For what was lost, tis to be found
In a space within.
I search without, eyes to see
Hands to hold, feet to walk,
Dismembered I remain
A heaviness that pulls
To the ground, where I find …
I need no eyes, no ears to hear
A space that I , carry within
My response to the #jamesturrell sculpture #withinwithout
When I went to the National museum in Canberra, I learned a lot about the indigenous people of this country. It moved me in a way that I cannot describe … and I wondered how the human race – all of us – could get to a place where we are unable to regard people with varied lifestyles as even human.
The indigenous people looked at the earth, the trees, the winds, the water etc as spirits to be treated with reverence. But many of us don’t even regard other humans with respect.
I find their culture very similar to the way we see creation in Vedanta. The all pervasive consciousness manifests in creation itself. Therefore everything and everybody is this ‘ishwara’ .
The James Turell sculpture embodied both these ideas for me;
– A deep respect for the space that one occupies, an idea from the indigenous culture. They refer to it as ‘country’.
– And the idea that Purusha, unmanifest, represented in a Shiva lingam, is in fact Prakruthi, creation itself, when manifest.
My response to this sculpture is more a feeling of yearning to get back what was lost – A love for ‘country’, harmony with nature, a place to rest, warmth and love for all creatures.
This is a struggle that the indigenous people have been fighting. A struggle every one of us must fight within ourselves – to make harmonious living a part of our future.

Early mornings I get free kisses and hugs. Late evenings my hugs and kisses are bought with treats 😜
Many times he comes for treats, gets comfortable and forgets about the treats …. then falls asleep and snores 🤣

Must visit the glassworks factory in Canberra if you ever come here. I had so much fun learning about glass art and trying my hand at it. It was a lovely experience. The glass needs to be kept at the right temperature to be able to continue to shape it, that’s such a delicate thing! There’s cooling and heating that happens alternately and it seems so complex…
Loved being there. Recommend it to everyone … ♥️

I’m trying to teach him to tap with his feet or nose. Want to eventually try to make him learn some of the talking buttons. This literally took me less than 5 mins to teach him.
He got distracted with this bruise I had on my leg and wanted to make sure that I was ok. He got reactive when 3 dogs on the street came at us together as a pack and my thigh got in the way… between him and the dogs.
He followed me around all day that day and kept trying to lick my wound and make sure that I was ok ♥️
It has almost healed now… but he keeps checking on it

I’ve had the best time in @australia the past week! I’ve experienced so many different things, glassblowing, skydiving, a chopper ride over the apostles, some wineries, some handmade chocolate, met some alpacas and have had the best food! I’ve actually enjoyed the food so much. I saw the @nationalmuseumofaustralia and the @nationalgalleryaus in Canberra, the @mcg in Melbourne, walked with some Lamas, visited a farm and so many other things that I cannot even begin to list. Thank you to @visitmelbourne @visitcanberra for hosting us. And @pickyourtrail for making this wonderful trip happen.

I saw this on a training video online and wanted to teach Kong to jump through my looped arms. I forget where I saw it, but her progression was a little different, I had to adapt to make sure Kong understood what I was asking of him.
Kong learned to jump over my arm really quickly, but when I put the other arm on top, he would get confused. So I got a hula hoop and he learned to jump through that quite easily.
Today I just threw in that second arm and made a hoop and he jumped through it ♥️
Second time didn’t work so well… 🤣 but now that he has it, I know that he will remember and do it again when he’s not tired.
I’ve been very present with Kong’s walking, training etc. but I do half of it. The other half @santhosh_powerstar helps me with. Especially when I travel etc, he keeps it going and makes sure that Kong doesn’t become reactive again.
Two more days until Im on tour again… enjoying my time at home ♥️
