Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I would reccommend having a car meet you at the airport and heading straight to Mysore when you arrive. From Mysore here are 2 " go to " guys for any transportation and/ or housing needs. Murthy at tskittymurthy Ganesh at anugan. I got my ride back to the airport in the middle of the night through Ganesh. Good luck and have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Either is fine. If you have accomodation arranged in mysore then it's nice to be collected at the airport by Manju or Krishna and delivered to your door so that you can wake up in mysore in the am. The drive is only 2 hours along a new highway. If you're going to stay in Bangalore make sure you get the hotel to pick you up. Personally I go straight to Mysore when I arrive. Manju and Krishna's info is listed on ashanga.com I think... Hope that helps! Enjoy Mysore! It's amazing... --- flutterag1 <flutterag1 wrote: > Hi, > > Just was wondering if anyone had any advice on... > Either getting a car straight thru from Bangalore to > Mysore in the mddle of the night or > staying the night in a hotel and then getting a car > to Mysore the next day? > > For safety most comforatable scenerio. > > Just curious!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 i would go straight to mysore. I stayed in bangalore for a couple of days and wish i would've just gone right to mysore. Bangalore is busy and can be overwhelming especially if it's your first trip. I would recommend the train on the way back if you can. It's a lovely trip and you get to see a lot of the country side at a fraction of the cost of a taxi.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hi I'll be in mysore from May. What do you do during the day in Mysore ? I know the self practice in on the morning, but what do you do during the rest of the time ? I hope its not only a physical practice, but also we may study yoga philosophy there ?

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hi, Well, this will be my first trip so it will be new to me as well! I know that there are ayurvedic scools in Mysore that offer classes and I haven't done all the research yet but I would like to maybe enroll in one of them. But I agree, I hope to be able to learn about the other limbs of Ashtanga too. If you hear of anything let me know. Will this be your first trip here? How long are you staying?

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hi Aaron Yes it'll be my first trip and I plan to stay 6 months (or a little bit less because of the visa). When are you going and how long ? I am interested in ayurvedic as well. I'll tell you if I hear something that seems interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hi Aaron and Barbara, This is my first trip to Mysore too, from May thru July. I have heard about this amazing voice and chanting teacher named Jayashree, apparently a lot of the yogis study with her too, I am planning to do this as well. She is in the movie " Guru The Movie " so you can learn more about her from watching this excellent film about Guruji. Also, I understand it is quite easy to take up a musical instrument and find teachers for very cheap. Also my friend Nick mentions studying chanting with the Brahmin priests in one of the temples. And my friend Jenny has an art teacher there, so it seems there is no shortage of options. I myself am hoping to take something like two classes in addition to studying yoga. I look forward to meeting you both then. Warm greetings from Goa, --Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hi, Aaron-- There is a lot to do during the day in Mysore. Believe me, your schedule will fill up easily-- I took a wonderful class on the Yoga Sutra while I was there, and a couple of yoga anatomy classes, you can take Thai Massage classes, pranayama classes, meditation classes, do panchakarma (several locations), take Sanskrit classes, chanting classes, and of course, the pool... The classes are offered at various locations near the shala -- just look at the bulletin boards at the usual places where the students hang out (Shakti House, Tina's, Anu and Ganesh's, etc.). There are also several ashrams in the area near Mysore that you can visit, even as a day trip. Guruji also leads a conference every week where he speaks about yoga philosophy and you can ask him questions. Hope this helps, Yamilee Seek to greet each moment with an awake and compassionate heart. A. Cushman Dream no small dreams, for they have no power to move the hearts of men.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 What is the normal/average/typical cost per month to stay in Mysore? I'd like to eventually go to Mysore, but will need to save up first and then won't be able to go until I stop working due to the time commitment. Thanks for any help/info! Laura J.
