Claire Brummet: return to India

By Jack Brummet


My daughter Claire returned to India for a long visit in February.  Her first month was spent at an ashram, as she studied and trained for her yoga teacher certification.  She is now living in an apartment on top of a mountain, trading English lessons for food, and meeting lots of folks.   She is keeping a mostly photo-blog on Tumblr:  http://clairebrummet.tumblr.com/

"I have graduated from yoga school and am roaming around India. I am following in the footsteps of my father and trying to blog about my trip.  Welcome to my wacky world of drinking 5 rupee chai's, dodging piles of cow poop, bargaining for everything and avoiding auto-rickshaw drivers.  I have trouble explaining it all in words so it is mostly pictures."

He is 104 and still going strong on the yoga tip. His name is Yogananda. One of the memorable pieces of wisdom he left us with was “Milk silent killer”.
