Fri, November 6, 2009 - 1:54 PMcrowded is an understatement .... disease and stampedes are a given .... a hugely accelerated learning experience ... the concept we have of Yoga and Saddhus in the USA is way different that what is there .. yet it can be fun if one has the guts for all that .... -

Sat, November 7, 2009 - 8:46 PMIf you have never made a Kumbha Mela, put it on your list to do before you die. Amazing. Even more amazing--yes, I know, apples and oranges--than BM.... -

Sat, November 7, 2009 - 8:55 PMIt's one of things--like many in life. actually--that you have to experience to speculate about. I've gone only four times, but it's been one of the few things in life that get bigger -and- better! Truly, the alternative culture world's fair! -

Sat, November 7, 2009 - 9:33 PMUmm, I can understand all that. But each year in my experience it gets more global in attendance; that's why I refer to it as "the alternative culture's world's fair." Perhaps you'd enjoy seeing some of the full-length videos online or otherwise, like "Burning Man: Voyage in Utopia" which is one of my favorites....

Sat, November 7, 2009 - 10:00 PMis a tribe of tribes .... you need to find your place to nerwork in there ... people is people ... no matter how they dress or look ... is just a fun dress up party ... instead of looking at stuff in a mall ... you look at werid stuff and the "crazy" people that like to push the limits of mental/social boundaries .... thats all .... im sure is ok to die without ever going there ; ) -
