I am beginning to feel substantially more stimulated… I think the profits of this panachakarma treatment is beginning to kick in. Accordingly I need to grab my freshly discovered vitality to expound on my run of the mill day here in Rishikesh… here goes:
While arranging this outing to India, I counseled my Japanese sweetheart's Indian spouse, Das, to help me with the agenda. "India is so huge!" I let him know, " I don't know where to begin." He prescribed that I come to Rishikesh and afterward Rajastan. The climate would be cooler than in the south, I could learn yoga or ayurveda in Rishikesh, and afterward visit Jaipur and Udaipur in India's biggest and most sentimental state, Rajastan. Great!
Alongside his suggestions he included connections to a few ashrams and ayurvedic focuses in Rishikesh. After much drudging over where I would want to spend a week of my life, I chose Dr. Maurya's Hemadri Ayurveda Focus (beside the police checkpoint and taxi remain here on Badri Nath Street). With a $100 Western Union wire, my booking for 7 days of Panchakarma treatment was situated. Et voila! Presently here I am encountering it!
Similarly as with all things here in India, I discovered that I ought to have arranged the online cost of the treatment heretofore, however, whatever… I will improve occupation arranging my next ric

My chariot in Delhi that brought me to Rishikesh.
These buses are simply called “Volvos” and are a very pleasant, economical way to travel. The bus driver gave me seat 1 so I could be petrified the entire way as he maneuvered the crowded streets. He was sounding his horn more than he wasn’t.
We stopped at a McDonald’s along the way. Here a Big Mac is made with a veggie burger instead (don’t even talk about eating beef here!).
Leaving Delhi.
The chickens stacked on rickshaws fascinated me…
Rishikesh at last! and traveling in style again!
Rishikesh is in the the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand. It is located in the foothills of the Himalayas and is known as The Gateway to the Himalayas.
Its population is 75,000.
Vishal, the owner of the hotel/restau where I am staying, says that in Rishikesh “anything can happen” and it is “magical.” He also said that only the “pure” die here. He added, “Bubas (politicians/beaurocrats) can be born and live here, but they always die someplace else.”
Dr. Maury’s Ayurvedic Center
Ayurveda is an ancient system of medicine and the world’s oldest system of healthcare. It has been practiced in India for 5000 years! The word Ayurveda means “science of life.” It is a very serious and true medical practice here in India. My doctor, Dr. Maurya, has practiced Ayerveda for the last 8 years. He also teaches it.
My first morning here I met my doctor at 8am. He took my pulse, asked me about my health and then proceeded to set up my treatment schedule. My panchakarma, an Ayurveda way of detoxifying and rejuvenating the body, treatment includes a strict vegetarian diet, daily massages, steam baths, different body cleansings, yoga, and rest (although rest does not mean read a book…it means rest your mind. Vishal alerted me, “Don’t read. Westerners read too much during panchakarma.” I immediately put my Kindle under the table).
The Wonderful Staff at the Center
Suma, my yoga instructor and office manager, sits behind the desk. Maya, one of the other therapists at the center is next to her and Savita, my therapist, sits closest to the door.
