About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just moved to Aalborg and in the process of getting settled in

ABOUT ME

On one hand introspective and grave and on another laidback, easygoing and merry. (don't like superficiality mate - that's crap) Humor means alot. Don't drink, smoke or eat meat, but like to get high on life in other ways.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life in a non-violent way (may ahimsa prevail!) and aim for transcendence some glorious day

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking on Dartmoor on a sunny Saturday in September with good friends, experiencing some amazing nature, plus not the least, all those bits of realisations of the reality of existence beyond the limits of material nature....having a little swim at the reefs in the Red Sea.

Teach, Learn, Share

Been a bhakti-yogi for 25 years so if you're interested in that sphere, here's your chance. The game of cricket is another part I can chip in with.
