i would be happy t o talk with her, but it past my bedtime and i have to wake up to teach yoga in 5 hours. so i best get to sleep. best way to reach me is on instagram / swarashram or whatsapp. i would send the number privately
i am in a remote town. 15 years and before that was in even more so remote villages. even back then, there were access by sim connections to get online with fliphones and hotspots. the past years since lockdown i dont think there is a place you cant get a cell signal in any village. its amazing really. its also outstanding she can communicate in english with you.
since lockdown and even before, girls were provided mobile smart phones for enrolling in college as a gov incentive during lockdown every home with children had to have a phone to do classwork. like i said in even this small rural place., there are many families with no toilet but 2 smart phones. sounds like she may be staying in a city. but just saying, dong get played. it is unlikely internet alone is the reason she left wherever her original home is. it is more likely family issues.
i have fb but not opened it in years fb/niradhara for several years there is mobile internet in india which has revolutionized communications. we bypassed computers basically but the same mobile system can put a laptop or desktop online. but really all you need is a sim card. there are mobile towers even in jungles it would be very unusual to live in a place without a cell signal. the gov has gone overboard to get india online the past 4-5 years. unless someone in her home is not allowing her, the gov is strongly supporting girls education and its free to go to college all over india. the lower castes get even more help. if she is over 18 she can easily get a sim card on her own for a few rupees. where i live people do not have couches, or furniture of any kind or even toilets. but they have mobile internet via cheap sim cards and cheap knockoff phones. unless she is running from an abusive family member, which is entirely possible. i am not sure why anyone would need to risk their life in india to get a sim card.
"risking her life to learn to write"? student of ? i run an ashram with the unusual initiative to educate girls about body literacy thru moon cycle yoga camps. i provide them with educational satsang as well as the tools and care they need just to stay in school while menstuating. the menstrual taboos (as they call them) have been misunderstood for decades as india got under the brits and then after getting free, foolishly trying to be westernized and not learn their own wisdoms. the protocols in vedic culture are to empower and protect the female reproductive system. she is the embodiment of the goddess. not unclean or untouchable. but does need to take special care of herself. so i am teaching the girls to empower themselves within their own culture which is undeniably much stronger and wiser. the female troubles dont find women until the western white sanitary napkins and tampons start arriving. i make cloth pads or girls and working women and have been distributing them for free with educational yoga camps and a book. and inching my way into introducing the cup to married women. this is my project over 30 years and 22 of those years by the lens of studying and living immersed in vedic culture. i have been a yogini 49 of my 62 years. the subtlties of the culture are a life time of experiencing and learning. no way i would be able to teach or write about it if i wasnt living it. so i am just amazed how you can do that.
i dont do anything tight to my head or hair - ever. how are you writing about india if you have not lived here? what is your taboo?
RE: wrapping 2 togehter i have sewn with normal thread this same way and it is really aweful result now its thinner and worse
thanks for the fast encouraging reply. i think i am ready to relocate about 6-7 thin ones to underneath the hair - by crocheting them to attach them. the gray is brittle and breaking and the weight on top hairs which are more gray and exposed to more sun is worse. so i think pulling them off and reattaching by crocheting them in a stronger locatno on my head is best. other mentioned would not work in this case here. if anyone on this site wants to hang out in india, im your guide.
hey namaste. i hope everyone is well today. i have been absent from this site and most of life online for years. i am still in rural india. its actually been 15 yrs since i started my locks with twist and rip and have had no maintenance except a crochet touch up on my one year old locks which i still regret = alot of breakage which i will finally try to remedy now. its time. i need some help. ageing hair, thinning roots. maybe relocate a few thin ones on top to the underneath hair? i dont really know but i do need help. probably with the dreaded crochet is the only way at this point. i can set you with with room and board and yoga in my ashram for a few days up to a week, if you can make it here to india. or if you are already in india. and if you have some skills to help my hair. i guesstimate about 5-7 hours of hair help? here's the catch, i can only make this offer til end of september. lets talk on ig/swarashram (hope thats ok but i will need to chat live to sort this out) bless!
http://www.vedcicvegans.blogspot.com im a hard core vegan but even obese carnivores seem to like the desserts on my blog because they are guilt free in every way.LOL i have been too busy to post anything lately but there are many things to choose incl a few non-desserts. try starting your relatives off with a vegan dessert, this usually catches their attention positively.
