Philosophical discussions in the sauna/Filosofiska diskussioner i bastun

English: Yesterday it was my (Shyamananda's) birthday as well as Vasudevas name's day, so we went to have a sauna and brought Alex with us. In the sauna we had philosophical discussions with some naked middle aged and old men (we kept gamchas around our waists, though). We spoke about the soul, God, the caste system of India, vegetarianism etc.

Svenska: Igår var det min (Shyamananda) födelsedag och även Vasudevas namnsdag så vi gick för att bada bastu och tog Alex med oss. I bastun hade vi filosofiska diskussioner med nakna medelålders och gamla män (vi hade gamchas runt våra höfter dock). Vi talade om själen, Gud, det indiska kastväsendet, vegetarism, etc.



Eng: We had no camera in the sauna so I try here to give you a picture of what is was like.

Translation: In the sauna.

Naked sauna-having advocate of nihilism:
-Nihilism is better, then you don't believe in any gods. You yourself have to take responsibility, but there is no right or wrong.

Vasudeva:
-But everyone would think it was wrong if there was a dog here and someone was kicking it.

Sve: Vi hade ingen kamera i bastun, så här försöker jag ge en bild av hur det var.



Eng: Later in the evening Brahma had a cooking course with our friend Marie, and then Amy came to load up before a greenpeace campaign. Amy also gave me some veeery nice birthday gifts; fruit and chocolate!

Sv: Senare på kvällen hade Brahma matlagningskurs med vår vän Marie, och sen kom Amy för att ladda upp inför en greenpeace-aktion. Amy gav mig också väääldigt fina födelsedagspresenter; frukt och choklad!
