Seated meditation can be challenging if you are not flexible.
Some gentle yoga postures can really help. Especially when practiced
over a long period of time.
Not to sure what this Yogi was smoking. When asked he simply replied, "it was handed to me by Shiva".

gypsies are some of the most colorful and fashionable people on the earth. I think this is where fashion was invented.
Indian Gypsies usually have olive skin, dark hair, and brown
eyes. Balkan Gypsies sometimes have lighter skin and even blond hair and blue eyes.
The largest group of Gypsies in India are the Lambadi.
Gypsies are well known for their ability to dance and have
many traditional dances expressing real life experiences and
history.
Gypsies are also known for the ability to adapt to societies
changes.
In the past, gypsies were not allowed to own land so they rarely
settled down anywhere for a large length of time.
They became well known for things such as fortune-telling
and other various forms of entertainmentent. Sadley they are
also known as beggars and thieves.
The doorway to the Taj Mahal. This impressive picture was taken
from inside one of the archways leading into the Taj Mahal square.
The Mughal emperor ordered it built in 1626 after the death
of his favorite wife Mumtaz Mahal. The actual building was completed
around 1635 but the gardens, gateway structures (shown above),
and mosque were completed in 1643.
The Taj Mahal was designed by Ustad Ahmad Lahori a talented
Muslim architect.
