school and orphange
I am planning a trip to India for '05. I know early planning. I'm working now trying to save as much money as possible so I can travel as long as possible.
I would like to study Sanskrit and yoga philosophy while i am there. one of the ashrams in rishikesh where I am hoping to stay has a very disciplined practice which will incorporate some studying of the Bhagavad Gita and yoga philosophy as it relates to their teachings, but I am interested in finding a school that would accept a westerner woman for longer term study. That, and I want to volunteer at an orphange. I am having trouble locating much information on either of these two subjects. Any help given is greatly appreciated. |
