Chiang Mai at last.

Finally arrived in Chiang Mai Thailand. The mysterious Russian Swami gave me a big bear hug welcome.

Indulekha was tired after the long journey from Moscow, but happy to be back in Chiang Mai.

I slept like a baby after the long insomniac plane flight and was up for the Thai Pain massage, a deep massage of the tendons, for macho men only. This man has x-ray fingers and knows the skeleton. His motto, "No Pain, No Gain." There's no safe-word.

 After the massage therapy Avadhuta Maharaja and I met with Igor Baranko, graphic artist and comic book writer to go over the story boards for the Mahabharata Project.

I walked around the property to take photos of the Chiang Mai Yoga Ashrama, Chaitanya Saraswat Math. Here are some photos. What a difference from Moscow.
