Cool video of an ayahausca ceremony.

The Gayatri Mantra sounds similar to the singing in the Ayahausca ceremony... I don't think its a coincidence.

No coincidence at all apparently.

"The night of Holi, the baithak turn into event of churning bhang ( cannabis) to make intoxicating milk shakes."

Thanks Susan, what did you think of the Ayahausca video? It really blew me away. There are a couple other parts of the video linked on vimeo.

Lima: Honestly, they didn't blow my dress up but I still appreciate you sending them to me.
