The Open Road: a learning community

Afoot and lighthearted, I take to the open road...
Henceforth, I ask not good fortune,
I myself am good fortune.
--Walt Whitman

Gazing into the hearts of flowers…

with my camera enables me to share my garden far and wide. The internet also lets me share the wisdom of Narayana Gurukula through classes offered to friends and students around the world. The Gurukula (“home of darkness-dispelling light”) is also a gathering place for lovers of life for exploration, contemplation, and celebration. Just as reading nurtures me, writing enables me to share the bounty.
