then have an amazing Ayurvedic massage; and consider coming back to study Ayurveda where this life science is most renowned. You can also see the wicked martial art of India called Kalari; ~the Kalari and Kathakali dancers are both big on Ayurvedic massage too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42aoksvEnu8

Next…
Mysore: You practiced the style in your training 6 days a week, now see where it comes from; including the studio of the late, great Guruji Patabhi Jois. Also in Mysore you can see an Amazing Palace where “royalty” lived,

and then see the real thing: a swami who lives in a cave on Chimundi Hill.
(I hope he is still alive. When I met him 7 years ago he looked like he was already 300 years old, but healthy; but even if he is not longer there the hill is a cool climb -…well very hot actually, but the monkeys make it enjoyable.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C275NPrGHBM
Also nearby is a gorgeous bird sanctuary on the river.
(sorry, there weren’t any youtube videos that do it justice)

Next...

Bangalore (Bengalaru): See the worlds 2nd fastest growing city, enjoy surprisingly cool nightlife (better than Goa for those who love to dance; no drinking please), asana practice and satsang with Will’s yoga teacher “Masterji” Vishwanath at the Patanjali Yoga Kendra. http://yoga.india.yogelements.com/Masterji_Viswanath.php
Also visit Vivekananda Yoga University …perhaps you may decide to come back for a doctorate degree in Yoga??? (website doesn’t do the place justice)

Next:

Pondicherry & Auroville: I don’t know where to begin …

(This video says its about Auroville but really only shows Pondicherry, but ends at a restaurant I used to eat at in Auroville. But I put this video here because I really just like to watch the typical Rikshaw interaction the lady has on the way to Auroville.) the zoo from the book Life of Pi, School for Perfect Eyesight (free and part of Ashram). http://www.miraura.org/
Sri Aurobindo, Integral Yoga Psychology, {which was the basis of my Graduate work} http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2MWDrMZ-Jg

Aurobindo Ashram, http://www.miraura.org/aa/as/as.html
Auroville; an international village with over 50 countries represented;

Departure: A few hours north of Pondicherry is Chennai. You can either fly home from Chennai or to wherever you catch your return flight (i.e. New Delhi, Mumbai, etc). There are also airports in all of the cities we visit if you are needing to depart before we reach Chennai.
But if you fly back to Delhi, see if you can check out the Gandhi museum and this:
