Final note to those who may wander -
1 - what's up with the Kirtan?
2 - Brad Pitt??
and all I have to say to that my friends is YES!!!
Brad Pitt and Kirtan are symptoms of the Yoginess blossoming within you. why Brad pitt??
is he not a fellow man?? well there you have it. Yogis love all men.
it was kind of a trick question I know but I thought, well, everyone loves Brad pitt ( unless you are one of 16 people on the planet that don't ) so really it was like getting a freebee...
Namaste.
I mean it.
