After the grooming was completed Shri Vijy Giri called me and said he would show me the art of doing the Ling Kriya in steps..
His taking me into confidence surprised him , I was shooting slides and negatives.
Nikon F80 and Nikon F90 X. a single flash on camera SB 28.
It was surprising that all this while I was on my feet running with Maharaj since morning , he had taken me and had me blessed with the leaders of the Junagadh Naga Sadhus.This a mutual bonding , it takes time for a relationship to blossom, but Maharaj was a disciplined mind reader, I am sure he knew his pictures would go places,and I have just given him the copy of this CD three years after I shot them when he last visited me at home, watching the advent of the Internet.
What excited him was the Yahoo mail ID I got done for him..his first step on the cyberspace.
I showed him his pictures I had posted at Word Press, it was these pictures, that the hard liners objected ..on my site at Word Press.
I have erased that incident from my mind I was totally disillusioned as a photo blogger I wanted to give up this time consuming profitless enterprise..I deleted 11000 blogs in a single night.
I was accused of being in the pay of the Hindus and promoting Hinduism..
Those were crazy times... and Hate raises its head each time I post something.. that is real of photo journalistic value...
Luckiy I dont have porn in the body of my work..
I never sold my pictures , I have 10/12 prints all lying , because after becoming a photo blogger I gave exhibiting my stuff in salons..
The Kumbh is a life time experience dont ever miss it...
It is a spirtuality of a secular dimension...ritualism a way of life of people who are as human as we are the Sadhus and the Naga Babas...
