Hari Om
Firstly, very best wishes to those readers who celebrate Navratri or partake Ramleela at this time.
Secondly, apologies for leaving so long a gap without an update. The broken left wrist has been a major inconvenience, not least in hampering the typing. Posting here was simply going to be one challenge too many and might end up with broken spirit also! While the cast has been removed after five weeks, things are sadly a bit slow, so am now heavily splint-strapped. Lighter and comfier but every bit as restrictive. Maintaining basic posts at the personal blog has been managed, however (due to more images than words really).
Thirdly... Wishing to start getting more active here again, you will now see links appearing... During this month, missing the true purpose which comes with producing Aatmavrajanam, it was decided to make a bit of a hybrid of posts there... thus, to read some lighter-hearted items on both Navratri and Ramleela, do please feel free to follow at the "Wild YAM" bloggy for now. On AVblog, you will now find daily links according to posts there and am also going to attempt the weekend posts as they too can be simply cut and paste or linked items. This will be the longest post you will see here for several weeks yet - it has already taken four times as long as it might with two hands!!!
The posts are not going to be strict to date at all and they will not be quite as officially Vedanta as they would be here, as "Wild YAM" readers are totally unfamiliar with these traditions, however, it will at least be fun and may even prove informative. (One major difference on that blog is you will notice the use of the personal pronoun for the writer - what? You've never noticed in all this time that your amma has never referred to herself here in the personal???)
