I was intending to stay there for at least one month, I did not know what to do any further. I would get 1,000 rupis per month for working there. Some offers were that I would stay there until the hot season begins and everybody moves away or I would go together with the Nepali cook Deepak to Nepal.
However, when I was present at this place, many wonderful things happened. It was an international place and we hosted people from all over the world. There was again a Canadian couple, a guy with a motorcycle, travelling all across India together with his wife. Then there was a really kind older woman from US, who had been working like 14 years or something as a nurse in a hospital. The international community was forming, and back then I did not feel the deep pain yet, I was too busy fulfilling my duty and enjoying life and making campfires with Deepak and hosting the event and talking to the locals.
What do I mean by hosting the event? One day, when I had been there already like two weeks or so, a small group moved in to that guesthouse, ~4-5 people with the core being 3 persons. I think that some of them were from Israel, one woman from Italy and some from Germany for sure. They said that they are about to host an international impro-dancing festival in Pushkar, and that they would like it to organise it from our guesthouse and asked if it was possible.
So they were impro-dancers. Soon there was like 20 of them making gathering at our guesthouse and sitting in circles on the grass sometimes for council. They used our kitchen and Deepak was really busy cooking two days or more, when they wanted to eat and council at our place. And of course I washed the dishes, it was a lot of work and days full of sunshine, and I felt that the water was going directly to the lake and so it was a lot of good karma and effective cleansing of the lake as well.
They were awesome people, like hippies, but also skillful in yoga and impro-dancing. There was an older buddhist-looking woman who had practiced a lot of mindfulness and who showed some really impressive dance-moves; and there was a yogi from US or Europe who made a handstand and tried to teach Deepak this as well.
There were two really beautiful German girls, and an Israeli girl and I made good friends with them but it was sometimes very hard to approach them, especially when my co-workers and my boss spent basically all of their time to get their attention when they were around. They forgot all of their work and simply tried to impress the girls. I could not even get near these girls for some talk, because there were already three hindi guys competing with each other around them.
But one evening when I was washing the dishes I managed to get a talk with one of the German girls, and I managed to tell her some of my adventures (this happened in Pushkar, India) and I told this girl a little bit about my past, poker and piano in Vienna. She was from Bonn and I told her that I had been in Bonn last summer and my bicycle travels in the forests. She told me about a being who used to lure seamen near river Rhine with her singing so that their ship would crash when they tried to approach her.
It was a truly beautiful moment but of course we could not share our stories for long, and I also took her story as a sign that this is not the right girl to approach too much, it was like a warning in a very beautiful way.
I was very happy that I could integrate Deepak to the international community. His English was not very good but he was such an awesome guy, and at those areas they were not used to speak to European girls too much. But we managed to do it really well, and we became friends and all and he could just freely speak to the Europeans, without trying to only clumsily approach them! I worked and worked and many stereotypical patterns fell.
The communication got better and the impro-dancers or whoever they were could also sometimes use our kitchen now, not only take orders and make Deepak to cook for them. The beautiful girls also sometimes helped us in the kitchen, wish the dishes or with chai. It was integrating and integrating and it was so beautiful! I really felt that I was doing my best work at the right place. I was so thankful and felt so necessary in a way, as if I had found my true job and the international community was forming around me, as I went on by creating the harmonious field, helping others with emotions and communication between people from different areas and cultural backgrounds of the world.
It was really a merry gathering, I think it lasted for two weeks or something, and I was not expecting it, and later when such thing happened again to me, I became to realize that maybe I am drawing the energies in by creating a harmonious safe-space just with my very presence. I think that yogis tend to have this quality, but I seem to have it very strongly, it seems that wherever I go, international communities start to form around me. This is one of my missions and I am also here to bring in the ships.
