JUNGLY BABA Sometimes when you're searching for a solution, the solution comes to you. At the moment you are ready the opportunity comes like a wave ready to be surfed… That's how Lal Baba passed by the Monastry (NYINGMAPA GUEST HOUSE) suggesting that it was a perfect time to visit Jungly Baba... He lives in a cave transformed into a house, surrounded by massive hillsides, the view is beautiful no matter what position or direction you're in. Jungly is a very Jolly Baba, giving a point of honor to welcome and feed all guests "24 hours a day"… The Cavern part of the house is covered with divinities and holy writings, eroded by the many seasons and thousands of smoke clouds. The Baba appreciates good company Love and more love, : "Some people give love, others take it". Ada pyar deta hai Ada pyar latta hai Baghsu aur Mc Clead Ganj Ke bich me, ham log rahta hai. Mohini Ma Bahot neï dekta juti roti - Someone thirsty, won't mind laundry water" Regularly giggling with a happy gaze marking his face ; Jungly let's us notice how it is useless to be afraid of anybody or anything… except god. "People come and go from here like birds in a tree ; they are welcome at all times, during all seasons ! - Meanwhile, Lal Baba is preparing a meal better than any restaurant. Of course, before smoking, drinking or eating, a little of the element is given to the Duni-sacred fire, loved by the babas since "thousands of years". As he looks at the dense forest covering the environing Mountain's, the Baba is "Maza" - happy that this day was celebrated duely New Guests arrive ; they also are welcomed by Jungli baba's extatic smile Tenzin Phuntso and his wife escorted bye Gangden, their Kouch Kouch two year old baby. I am delighted to see my monastry guest house friends as well as eager to understand a translated version of Jungly's excentric humour…       "Hanste, Hanste, Yoga sikhe"       "You've laughed and lauged, now practice yoga."       "Chillum bandé jao, ham piere hangue !"       "On Namo Durge Durga Dena Chiniamba Maha maï sakti Saari        Bhakti Maï Om Nam Jagadam Baï !!
