LAST FLIGHT OF AN OWL

She kept looking towards the sky while floating in the water kept for cows. Her death seemed such that at one time I felt she chose it.

But do birds more so when one is a predator choose their own death?

When Maharaj ji arrived, he first closed his eyes. May be she needed someone to close her eyes before it could be plucked out by hungry ones. May be he earned this burial. To only put a stop to this cycle.

May his body rests and the spirit awakens.

Aum Shanti

  Can’t say really what happened! May be it all happened so that he could get a good ritualistic Bye.

Oh gosh. What absolute amazing sweetness. Beautiful creature sent off with so much Love. My heart is smiling hugely right now. And I love the photo of the monkey in the fog. Wow. Sigh. Thank You for this, Narayan. Also…I just for the first time ever saw the quote to Yourself from one of Your old journals….I need to tattoo that on my brain! Brilliant. Sending much Love and huge hugs Your way!!! 🤗❤️😊

  ❤️ ha ha yes please tattoo it in the inner mind. Makes me sigh and breathe deep myself, that i can still do it, still make it better out of myself in this world of AI.

Narayan Kaudinya

Hi, I am Narayan Kaudinya. And i welcome you on this journey, the Road to Nara ! I am an Ethnographer and a practicing Indologist. I did my masters in History and further learnt Sanskrit, Yoga and Nerve-therapy. At 24, pushing most academic sounding, office sitting works away, i felt compelled to know and understand the world and my country, Bharat/India. I travelled, and as it happened i took up teaching in Kashmir and further up in the remote villages of Baltistan in the foothills of Karakoram Ranges. For around three years and many states later there came a time when i felt that it was only while teaching i learnt how to laugh, to see, feel, breathe, love and cry -with children, and mostly resource-less parents in the harshest-freezing border conditions. I write, and work as a documentary photographer and Filmmaker, with numerous published, exhibited and some awarded stories. In my travels and life i have let nature lead me, the divine mother, and as a Yogin, my resolve here is to share my experiences and thoughts as honestly, and through them to blossom in everyone the power and possibility in pursuing your breath, that you seek your true nature with courage and curiosity. Here, on this road i will share my spirit, my love for nature, the elements of life that are us. And in doing so, i'll be happy to see you along.
