Mysore Portrait, originally uploaded by govindakai.

This photo was taken sometime around 1997. It was a time when I first began to fully experiment with eating only raw food and it was a time when I was spending many months in India deeply immersed in the practice of Ashtanga yoga. This time was very special to me. There was such a purity and a strong sense of purpose to that time. I went through such immense transformations, both internally and externally.
