It's Dancing Season? Or is it the joy of dipping your beloved deity in ocean and letting it go?!

If you don't have patience to ask me about the meaning / science behind all these, no worries, just have fun, like most my friends did!

What's really "Hanuman Ansh"?!

Yes, it's year 2000., Sindhi World Conference in Mariott, Boston, MA. Renowned Sindhi Spiritual leader Dada JP Vaswani ji with his celebity devotees came up to me on stage and said "I'm stunned by your show with so many kids performing outstandingly..,! I'm baffled that I and I'm sure none in audience ever heard of this heart-quenching story!"

Now, it's beloved Guru ji visiting from Hyderbad, Pakistan/Sindh and his beloved Pak/Indian /International SoCal devotees's special request for instant show!

Yep, a Guiness Record, in record turn around time(3/3/5 hrs notice, 2+ hrs commute, new story, no support!)!

It's not just Yakshagana nor it's just a drama... simply a package, blending devotion, yoga, advanced spiritual experience and ancient dance drama theater/Arts into cinematic storytelling!

Explore Americas And Carribbeans As Backpackers Day4of18_Ep06 | Colombia's Highest Waterfall

"Invoking the River and Mountain spirits of South America!"

Being a Tantric (also a Shaman without wardrobes), I love exploring the Spirit Universe everywhere I go as much the love of visitng ancient cultures/ rituals worldwide!

As backpackers we hiked Andes basin few hours to get to the beautiful lower waterfalls (ChiflOn). It's late evening. La Chorrera is still 4-5 hours roundtrip tough walk from there! No guides, no hikers(wife too bailed out!) in rainy days, no torch, phone battery @20%, sprained ankle, and even National Parks folks cautioning danger, ...Yet my curious mind won't backoff!

In Hindi they call me a 'junglie jaanwar' (rugged wild animal!)...😂

But trying to get under the 1936 foot high waterfall after ascending tough 8400 ft level with slippery /falling stones (with no chance of Emergency Services) or attempt to invoke spirits all by myself inside remote jungle at late evening... I guess is bit...😮!

Disappearing #tulunadu Village culture?!
Well, it’s "Endangered but not dead"!
See what LSU did to a stranger 😳

My wife and I were exploring remote Amazon villages as backpackers; walking late nights in dreaded Amazon jungles entering tribal homes late night without prior notice etc.😂

Amazon tribes are known for dreaded stories & they shoot with poisonous arrows if they don't trust. Yet we trusted our intuition, our hearts! Watch what tribal elders said❤️

While meeting remote village communities and tribes from Brazil, Colombia to Peru I kept sharing my ancient village cultural depth/breadth esp my Tulu and Kannada perspectives as much the experience living across India and traveling across the world to too many such remote tribes/villages.

More on that later......

Recalling a recent experience in my own village with my nephew @akshithhhhh who's visiting from Mumbai. With economic boom, Indias kites are flying too soon too far up o sky but glad I have great examples to share!

Few of us who killed ourselves entire life to stay grounded and hold the threads firmly to ensure tulunaad doesn't lose it's soul (I mean our multidimensional sacrifices to community beyond imagination of the material world to help community grow economically but without any returns/ROI / News or control like business folks)....

Sooner or later we need to start sharing our spectrum of experience as philanthropists and world travelers across the world!

Traveling worldwide, for decades my experience is that ancient cultures were very advanced, rich and carefully architected considering human life and the entire eco-systems.

Considering information overload and too much material competition, it's tough to reset and discuss why our Indian village/city hospitals are running full, What's the need of the hour etc...,

It's tough but let me get started...!

Ep5_Day2Of18_Explore3AmericasAsBackpackers

Exploring / researching remote tribal cultures across the globe is one of my many hobbies for decades. Read the caption and you know why my contribution / cultural exchange is always very unique no matter where I travel across the globe.

#Partly ofc my background in multiple fields from ancient cultures, depth in scriptures and rituals, Science & technology, performer/ artist / scientist etc etc. Helps me to contribute / demonstrate as much as I learn from them!

These villages / tribes are unconnected by any roads! Yet, they are like back home for me! There’s so much one could learn here. Some are small villages with few families. Most don’t know English and it’s tough for me to interview but I have my ways😅

Here we’re having fun exploring one of 7 major Panama tribes in various villages.

BTW Sorry to realize my earlier reels had video stripped off!
