That was simply one of the most amazing experiences of my life. It was surreal and a little disconcerting to re-enter life. Especially when my first real re-entry point was LAX.

While I was at the festival, even with the ridiculously oppressive heat and dust, I had a remarkable sense of community and peacefulness. The kirtan was soothing and uplifting all at once. The classes were somewhat disorganized and the only part of the festive I felt I ddin’t get to experience as fully as I would have liked. Bhakti Fest is expanding to 4 days next year; try to get there to experience everything.
