Om Namah Shivayah!

I'm usually not much of a TV watcher, but I recently
saw two things that are worth mentioning:

1) There is a documentary about Sadhus on the National
Geographic Channel that I think they will play several
times this week. It's title is something along the
lines of "Wonder of the Ganges" or something and there
is some really fantasitc footage of the Khumba Mela
(I'm almost positive I'm spelling it wrong...). Has
anyone here ever been to the Khumba Mela? It was quite
a sight! I wasn't too impressed with the spin the
director was putting on the festival, or it's honored
guests, but it was really beautiful to see the
thousands of sadhus going out into the Holy Ganges...

2) Another documentary, on HBO, called "Death in
Gaza," that really touched me. It's about the
Israel/Palestine conflict, and it's basically
interviews of Palestinian children who aspire to be
martyrs. I know not everyone has HBO, or even cable (I
saw this at a friend's house myself) but if you can
arrange to see it, it really opened my mind and my
heart, and sent me straight to my altar. I forget,
living my nice little American Dream life, that this
world is still so full of pain and hate, and I forget
too, how IMPORTANT it is to pray and pray and PRAY for
peace.

Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti

love,
Prajna
