How short life is! And in those days I never thought I'd be doing anything more than living and working in the ashram and traveling with Swamiji. He used to say that life has many chapters. I plan to keep my book open to these pages forever...
Cooling down after tennis..	Summer tennis with Swamiji. See the man just behind Swamiji? That's my dad. Probably keeping score...	With our beloved Gayatri after tennis with Swamiji	My mom took this photo-- such great tennis court memories!

__________________________________ Our Wedding in Rishikesh, India On the last day of Navaratri (the nine nights of the Divine Mother) in 1996, Dale and I were married in Swamiji's Rishikesh ashram on the banks of the Ganga. It was a four pandit wedding-- they told me there was one pandit for each ashram gate so that I could not escape. No, there was no escaping destiny and marrying the soulmate of my dreams!
See the pandit in the baseball cap?! That's what he wore while doing our wedding ceremony! Only in India!	Bride to be-- upstairs in our second floor ashram room in Rishikesh. You could look out and watch the Ganga river flowing by...	My sweet knight in shining armor-- before the wedding	The wedding ceremony
