| Our tour bus runs on biodiesel | The environment was quite nice in the picnic area | The Sydney yogis do puja everyday for 9 days before Navaratri. T | Rob took me to a nice long walk at the Woolloomooloo wharf close to his home. The weather was nice and breezy and the water in Sydney Harbour was so surprisingly clean that we could see the bottom of the seabed. | |||

| A few shots taken from the walk from the wharf towards the Botanical Garden. It's quite amazing to see so much of the nature near the city. | Pictures taken in the Botanical Garden. Notice the large number of fruit bats on the trees. | |||||

| The Sydney collective is huge. On Saturday night they had a havan at the Burwood ashram and it was so crowded that I felt like I was in a puja. Of course there were also some very nice bhajans going on. (P.S. I heard Music of Joy 3 will be coming out soon!) | ¡@ | |||||

| On Sunday morning, the eastern suburb had the puja at Rob and Shravani's place (where I was staying). Isn't their place beautiful? | That's Rob in the midst of Ajwan smoke during the preparation of the puja | This is their backyard where we did our shoe-beating | ¡@ | |||
