What I found in Himalayas: skiing down

Mahavatar Babaji quotes

What I found in the Himalayas that the West couldn’t give me

(Increasing Frequency) Sept. 30, 2025: ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREK. On my journey through the Annapurna Circuit in the Himalayas, I went searching for what was missing in my life — a deeper sense of meaning, peace, and connection.

Mahavatar Babaji in the Himalayas

Along the way, I encountered wise old babas, mystics who live in solitude high in the mountains, carrying with them timeless wisdom passed down through generations.

These mystical encounters opened my eyes to lessons that the modern world, especially the West, often overlooks. From simple moments of silence to profound conversations about life, purpose, and spirit, the Himalayas revealed truths I didn’t know I was seeking.

Join me on this journey into the heart of the mountains — where the air is thinner, but the wisdom is infinite. 🌄✨ #Nepal #AnnapurnaCircuitTrek #Himalayas

Skiing down the most DANGEROUS mountain

I skied down Mount Everest (world first, no oxygen)

Andrzej Bargiel: Red Bull paid

(Red Bull) Nov. 7, 2025: MOUNT EVEREST. Ski mountaineer Andrzej Bargiel becomes the first person to climb Mt. Everest and ski back to Everest Base Camp without supplementary oxygen. After nearly 16 hours climbing in the high altitude “Death Zone” (above 26250 feet or 8,000 meters, where oxygen levels are dangerously low), Bargiel clipped into his skis on the summit of allegedly the tallest mountain on earth [which may in fact be Mt. Sumeru or K2] and started his descent via the South Col Route. He reached Camp II that night and rested. The summit ridge and Hillary Step had taken longer than planned, meaning darkness made it dangerous and difficult to navigate further that day. The next morning, he skied through the treacherous Khumbu Icefall guided by a drone flown by his brother, Bartek, before safely arriving at Everest Base Camp to become the first person to ascend and descend Mt. Everest on skis with no supplementary oxygen.

Yogananda Fest 2025: What happened?

WHAT HAPPENED?

YoganandaFest.com featured activities

It rained in Los Angeles on Saturday morning, as it has 5 out of the 6 years this fest has existed. So most diehard yogis were undeterred. While it remained cold, cloudy, and drizzly with showers in some parts of the megalopolis that is LA County, which stretches for over 50 miles across as a basin, the sun came out over Torrance, the city (one of 88) hosting the festival.

Lovin schismatic disciple Kriyananda

Yogananda was a great Indian guru who is bigger than the organization that claims to be his exclusive promoter, the Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF). There is a better albeit smaller organization that promotes the real guru, baby and all.

(Could the great Hindu-Christian syncretic-saint have had a baby with one of his American female disciples?) The Ananda Church of Self-Realization (Donate | Yogananda Fest) is a kind of schism that arose among Paramhansa Yogananda's followers.

Autobiography of a Yogi: The
Original 1946 Edition plus

One original disciple, Kriyananda, was a purist. He decided to publish the founder's autobiography in its ORIGINAL (unredacted, unabridged) form. It's better that way to read it, but SRF doesn't like it.

The larger, less orthodox SRF organization made changes to the classic book and will not settle a lawsuit that says the rightful owner of the religious organization is Yogananda's unacknowledged son. There's DNA evidence to back up Ananda's claim, but SRF will not acknowledge, as to do so would mean the loss of their ability to legally claim ownership of the book, its proceeds, the properties spread across LA and elsewhere, and the legacy of the great master. What to do? What to do? More lawyers are needed to settle the issue. Or the son should become a guru, claim his lineage, and speak out publicly rather than behind the Ananda organization. Until then, there are TWO versions of the book. Which have most people read?

After about 9:00 am, with clear skies and lots of enthusiastic participants from the Holy City of Lost Angels, events went on as planned: meditation, Kriya Yoga, Hatha Yoga, inspiring featured speakers and more.

Indian gurus in the USA?

Swami Paramananda, 1923

[After the arrival of Swami Vivekananda in the United States for the Chicago Parliament of the World's Religions in 1893, visiting Pasadena and declaring it the "Varanasi (Buddhist Kashi and Benares) of America," both set up ashrams here, Swami in South Pasadena and Yogananda in neighboring Mt. Washington, a prominent hill above the next town over, Highland Park, with a magnificent view of the Downtown Los Angeles skyline.

Paramahansa Yogananda, 1920

That mansion became Yogananda's Self Realization Fellowship's Mother Center (older than the magnificent Lake Shrine in Malibu, currently closed due to the Palisades Fire), after the organization's founding in 1920, along with a big temple in Hollywood on Sunset Blvd. (next to an old hospital purchased by Scientology and made into big cult offices), whereas Vivekananda's Victorian style house is a small and easily missed blip on Figueroa Street. Not far from there, a devotee of Sri Anandamayi Ma named Swami Paramananda founded the beautiful and rustic monastery in Glendale/La Crescenta called Ananda Ashram (Ananda Ashrama, spiritual center for Vedanta) in 1923.

Hinduism in America: Converge

So Yogananda is a sort of latecomer but by far the most successful of Indian gurus in America, outshining even the Beatles' cultish Indian guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder and promoter of Transcendental Meditation (TM), which was a fad from the 1960s though still some people swear by it, like a young Jeff Goldblum in his cameo in Annie Hall.

Why does any of this matter? Not only did Hinduism come to America, Buddhism came along as well (many centuries earlier, even before Columbus and Christianity, according to Rick Fields, Edward P. Vining, and other American historians), making an incredible splash that still reverberates and sends out rings of influence. Books have been written about it.]

Kamala rejects Nikki’s claims on US racism

Graeme Massie, The Independent, 1/17/24; Pfc. Sandoval, Ash Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Kamala Harris responds to Nikki Haley claiming US has ‘never’ been racist country

I gotta choose between these two dummies?

Kamala Harris has rejected Nikki Haley’s claim on Fox News that the United States has “never” been a racist country.

The vice president criticized fellow Indian American Republican 2024 hopeful a day after Ms. Haley rejected the suggestion she finished third in the Iowa caucuses behind two white men because of the color of her skin.

"I am not a crook." I get to be VP, not Nikki!

Ms. Haley, Don Trump’s former ambassador to the UN, made her self-serving comments during a Tuesday appearance on Fox News in response to comments by MSNBC host Joy Reid.

“We’re not a racist country…We’ve never been a racist country,” she said.

I won the Iowa primary, not Indian "Nimrada" Haley! Who does she think she is, Ms. Obama?

Republican rivals shove each other to kiss up to Trump to get VP nod. Vivek kisses hardest.

.

I agree w/Haley, and Floyd was high.

“Our goal is to make sure that today is better than yesterday. Are we perfect? No. But our goal is to always make sure we try and be more perfect every day that we can.”

[People rolled their shut eyes quietly as she] continued: “I know I faced racism when I was growing up [but we've never been a racist country because that was just me, and it didn't happen to anyone else but me]. But I can tell you, today is a lot better than it was then [when we were a more racist country than we are now].

Republicans stand for victorious white life.

“Our goal is to lift up everybody, not go and divide people on race or gender or party [as they belong to the right one] or anything else. We’ve had enough of that in America [that was never a racist country].”

VP Kamala Harris slammed that position when she was asked about it during a Wednesday appearance on The View.

“The issue of race in America is not something that should be the subject of a soundbite.

Racism in LA is so bad, even Latin politicians...

“The history of racism in America is not something that should be the subject of a soundbite or a question that is meant to illicit a one-sentence answer,” the Democrat from California said [about Ms. Haley's asinine and clunky claim].

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: In the future, Republican candidate Nimrod Haley will be right; we were never a racist country. It was all a BIG misunderstanding, not white supremacy but just colored discrepancy. *Irony*

Republican Debate 3 w/ Ramaswami (live)

NBC News via commentators David Pakman and Bryan Tyler Cohen (YouTube), 11/8/23; Ashley Wells, Pfc. Sandoval, Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

🚨 (Brian Tyler Cohen) LIVE: THIRD Republican presidential primary debate live streamed from the NBC News feed.🚨 FINAL Republican primary debate that Trump just spat and shat upon by never attending but somehow still being declared the winner of at the polls.

Who are the five candidates that qualified for the third GOP debate?

(NBC News) Nov. 8, 2023: LIVE COVERAGE of the usually boring faceoff by blowhards, with [WQ commentary]:

• Indian Vivek Ramaswami doing some fast entrepreneurial talking,

• 

  Ronnie D is too liberal. Vote for me!

  Indian Nikki Haley doing a better job than anyone expects (VP material?),
• Indian Hirsh Singh not being invited again,
• Some fat, short, and/or both governors,
• A token conservative Black candidate (Candace Owens must be proud) now that ridiculous Black AM radio host uber conservative Larry Elder dropped out for lack of anyone being interested,
• The Orange Ghost of a Billionaire eager to overthrow the government if the judge hands him his arse on a platter with a foregone conclusion of a conviction and a fine so big he may have to sell NFTs of his future bounced checks to recover,
• Indian Kamala Harris switching parties because Republicans support her Jewish husband's favorite country more than Democrats who give arms, bomb Syria, protect it from sanctions in the U.N., and provide it all the arms and war plans it could ever want plus backup and intel unless she is offered the presidency with Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom as her VP when dotard Joe Biden becomes too enfeebled to fake it anymore, even with body doubles, which Obama's advisors say is about any day now.

Who are the five candidates at the debate?

Nov. 7, 2023: Five candidates will take the stage in the next GOP presidential primary debate, excluding former Pres. Don John Trump, who is voluntarily not attending [because a judge is hammering him in court to justify fining him a quarter billion dollars for financial fraud as Trump loses in court yet again while claiming to never lose and being tired of winning] but allegedly leading all candidates (Republican and Democrat) in the polls.

American Veda: Beatles, Yoga, Meditation

Philip Goldberg, 5/14/13; Jen B., Ananda (Dharma Buddhist Meditation), Wisdom Quarterly

American Veda: The Beatles to Yoga and Meditation

American Veda: From Emerson and the Beatles to Yoga and Meditation: How Indian Spirituality Changed the West

Om (aum) symbol flag (Vedic Hinduism)

This paperback has a 4.6 out of 5 stars with 236 ratings. Huston Smith wrote the foreword. It's a fascinating look at India’s remarkable impact on Western culture.

This eye-opening popular history shows how the ancient philosophy of Vedanta (the best of the ancient Vedas or "Knowledge Books") and the mind-body methods of yoga have profoundly affected the worldview of millions of Americans and radically altered the religious landscape of the U.S.

US yoga today: selfies and butt-pants (lol)

What exploded in the 1960s, following the Beatles' trip to India for an extended stay with their new guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, actually began more than 200 years earlier, when the United States started importing knowledge -- as well as tangy spices and colorful fabrics -- from Asia.

• American Veda: From Emerson and the Beatles to Yoga and Meditation How Indian Spirituality Changed the West (Philip Goldberg)
• Hinduism in America: A Convergence of Worlds (Jeffery D. Long)

The first translations of Hindu and pre-Hindu (Brahminical) texts found their way into the libraries of John Adams and Transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson.

From there the ideas spread to Henry David Thoreau (On Walden Pond), Walt Whitman, and succeeding generations of receptive Americans, who absorbed India’s “science of consciousness” and wove it into the fabric of their lives.

Trump meditates on "om" syllable.

Charismatic teachers like Swami Vivekananda (World Parliament of Religions in Chicago, 1893) and Paramahansa Yogananda (Self Realization Fellowship) came west in waves, prompting leading intellectuals, artists, and scientists such as Aldous Huxley, Joseph Campbell, Beat poet Allen Ginsberg, J. D. Salinger (Catcher in the Rye), jazz musician John Coltrane, Dean Ornish, and Harvard Prof. Richard Alpert (aka Ram Dass), to adapt and disseminate what they learned from them.

The impact has been enormous, enlarging our current understanding of the mind and body and dramatically changing how we view ourselves and our place in the cosmos.

Goldberg paints a compelling picture of this remarkable East-to-West transmission, showing how it accelerated through the decades and eventually moved from the counterculture into our laboratories, libraries, and living rooms.

Now physicians and therapists routinely recommend meditation, words like karma and mantra are part of our everyday vocabulary, and yoga studios are as ubiquitous as Starbuckses.

The insights of India’s sages permeate so much of what we think, believe, and do that they have redefined the meaning of life for millions of Americans—and continue to do so every day. Rich in detail and expansive in scope, American Veda shows how we have come to accept and live by the central teaching of Vedic wisdom: “Truth is one, the wise call it by many names.” More

Why the US will have an Indian president

Ashley Wells, Seth Auberon, Pfc. Sandoval, Wisdom Quarterly

Dick Nixon poseur Vivek Ramaswamy outshines consersative rival Nikki Haley at first debate

.

US loves swamis like Vivek'

It's curious. One never thinks about it. But an Indian runs England (arch conservative good old boy Rishi Sunak, 43). An Indian runs Ireland (gay Pres. Leo Varadkar). An Indian runs India (uber-conservative, anti-Muslim, nationalist and Trump-wannabe Narendra Modi). An Indian ran South Carolina (former governor, US Ambassador to the UN, and rabid Republican conservative Nikki Haley (née Ms. Nimarata "Nikki" Randhawa). And then there's the young upstart Indian Republican Hirsh Vardhan Singh (conservative businessman).

‘America First 2.0’: Vivek pitches to be Republicans’ next Trump | 2024 election | Guardian

.

Why's everyone attacking V. Ramaswamy?

But who are any of these Indian innovators and what are they doing? They're gunning for business entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy's next job in the White House.

If anyone is making a splash in Trump's yellowish (orange) pool, it's Whippersnapper Ramaswamy-jii. He's the sharpest, most rappingest Indian in the U.S. race.

As president, I'll represent the corporations.

And given the financial success of many Indians in America, they're becoming the model minority. The world knows something: India is now the largest country in the world, by population, so Indians are the future. China is falling away, due in large part to its old one child policy which left a gender imbalance and a non-replacement population. Demographics don't lie. Think business. It won't be China so much as India. The EU knows it, so the US finds itself waking up.

Democrat? Dotard Biden can't cut it. Who's Joey's heir apparent? Indian Kamala Harris (Harishchandra Gopalan?), current VP with her designs on the Oval Office. With Trump on his way to jail for corruption, bad business practices, and court, where he'll be bogged down for years, it looks like it's bye-bye for the Boogeyman, the Mara at the Lago mansion.

We're voting for Andrew D. Basiago, so who needs an old white man in the highest office? Biden is the oldest. Trump is the second oldest. And one could hardly get any whiter, having been bitterly let down by Black sellout Prof. Cornel West and this year's Green Party.
