Strengthen your eye sight and relax your eyes. Anybody sitting in front of a computer or a TV for long hours can benefit immensely from practicing these Yoga eye exercises daily. You can do them sitting on a chair or on the floor, or in a standing position. Eye exercises also help to balance the brain hemispheres and harmonize the mind.

Although Ganesha’s facial deformity might cause him to be shunned by other cultures, the Hindus believe that his is a gift from God and revere him. It was our special privilege to get to know Ganisha and his fellow Nagas. We sat under the shade of a banyan tree at their camp site and took chai with them on many occasions. Those lazy afternoons will long remain as some of our most cherished moments of the Kumbh Mela 2010. Ganesha is a very special holy man of the Naga Indian tribe. Nagas are from an ancient warrior caste of naked spiritual men who live a life primarily unto themselves. The Maha Kumbh Mela festival (the largest religious congregation on earth) is held four times every 12 years and is one of those occasions when the Nagas deign to walk among their fellow Indians. Dressed only is white ash powder and an occasional loin cloth, thousands of Nagas, along with Sadhus, Babas, Yogas, and Fakirs, dip in the holy waters of the Ganges River along with other devout Hindus. Over the three months of the festival tens of millions of Hindu pilgrims attend the Kumbh . In 2001 the Kumbh in Allahabad attracted 100 million celebrants, equivalent to a third of the population of America! This clip is almost identical to my other one of Ganesha except it is cropped and a bit shorter.

So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to go about creating a band aid bracelet?
