I know I just wrote a big one but I have a little time as we are relaxing in Hampi and wanted to get up to date. This entry covers avoiding scams in Puna, a phony bologna guru, living thee good live and an amazing evening in a local home in a poor section of Bombay and relaxation and spiritual healing circles in Goa.

So on with the stories…

And for those not wanting to scroll, here are the photos.
