00:00from past life experience that carries over, so in my mind was already this.
00:10I was taught some things early on about Sanatana Dharma and Buddhism,
00:25but when I was in school, I worked for a veterinarian who worked on dogs,
00:37and he did acupuncture, and this was back in the 70s, like on dogs.
00:45And I watched these dogs, crippled dogs, come in and go out walking
00:54from this acupuncture treatment, so this made my mind open to the possibility
01:03that there's more than what the eye can see.
01:07There are systems that we don't know about, you know,
01:11because in Chinese medicine, they have Qi, which is their energy system
01:19where they use acupuncture and things like this, so I'm thinking these systems are working,
01:29so I want to know more about other thoughts, you know.
01:39Yes, I met her, Michelle, in Hawaii when I lived in Hawaii,
01:47and I was being a fisherman and all this.
01:53But before that, the fishing and all that, I met her on the big island,
02:02the island of Hawaii, and there we had a mutual connection,
02:12deep connection with the Sanatana Dharma.

02:23And so that eventually took us here to Prayagraj 25 years ago,
02:30and that was my first experience in India was direct flying from California,
02:39or actually from Hawaii, Hawaii to Thailand, and then from Thailand to Calcutta.
02:54And then we took the train from Calcutta to Prayagraj here.
02:59We had no idea where we're staying or anything, but we had our gear with us,
03:08and we were led to the rainbow camp.
03:12And so there we met a Baba, Murari Baba from Kashi, who created a camp,
03:21and we stayed there for our first Kumbh Mela.
03:40Yes, I feel like I belong.
03:45It's hard to explain, but Sanatana Dharma is, you know,
03:50people are reincarnated.
03:53So you might be born in this country this lifetime,
03:58but maybe in another country next lifetime.
04:02So I feel at home here.
04:07Yes, I'm vegetarian for many years now.
04:11Yes.
04:17It's in a small town called Truth or Consequences in New Mexico,
04:22and I am in the process of establishing this ashram.
04:31I have a duna there.
04:33I have a tambo in the back area,
04:38and I have a Ganesh Murti already there,
04:44and I have a puja room with all gods and saints and Guruji, Puruji.
04:55Yes.
04:58I was just going to say...
