Faraj also goes by "Lost," a moniker given to him by his mother when, as a boy, he got lost while shepherding goats. Faraj survived the week alone in the desert by drinking goats milk. My first visit to Petra was in the summer of 2007, when I went with my dad and uncle. While the ancient ruins and scenery remained the same, visiting with a pretty, lively Australian girl provided a different experience that going with my two older male relatives. As soon as we appeared on the scene, a cohort of young bedouin guys readily suspended their activities of peddling camel rides and mule tours, and offered to show us Bedouin shortcuts to popular sites. We ended up spending the entire day being escorted around Petra by various Bedouin guys, Faraj among them. These young men, with flowing hair and outfitted in their tribe's traditional getup of red bandanas, black eyeshadow, seemed more like Jack Sparrow stunt doubles than of the Nabatean pedigree claimed by the Bedouins in the area. It was hard not to like the affable characters who wielded preternatural smiles stained with years of drinking "Bedouin whiskey" (what they enjoy calling tea in front of foreigners). From them, Bianca and I learned about the in and outs of Bedouin life and the expressively deep-seated connection Bedouins of the area have with Petra. They were also particular fond of telling Bianca about the story of an Austrian women who had married a Bedouin man from their community, a story oft repeated throughout the day, invariably leading up to one of their favorite phrases to say in English: "A man without a wife is like a kitchen without a knife." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5640576fe4b040da969aebc6/1502632929484-Z99N585RO3QDQQ1QZZ75/image-asset.png Blog - Petra https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5640576fe4b040da969aebc6/1509559075396-57TH6YP0KARY4UX95CGP/20170620-_S7A8065.jpg Blog - Petra Bedouin camels hanging out in from of The Treasury. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5640576fe4b040da969aebc6/1502633580264-PWQ92YCPJ1JL20SAYR0Q/20170620-_S7A8071.jpg Blog - Petra A bedouin horse-buggy carts tourists through the Siq's narrow corridor. http://www.shalevnetanel.com/blog/2017/10/28/rosie-road monthly 0.5 2017-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5640576fe4b040da969aebc6/1509225379898-EKV2NVMJ0UO4M07NERUT/FINAL.jpg Blog - Rosie Road Rosie Road, the new EP by Trevor Sohnen. http://www.shalevnetanel.com/blog/2017/10/28/back-in-the-usa monthly 0.5 2017-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5640576fe4b040da969aebc6/1509226513759-XSVYUECLD1PPR48UKOXV/20171025-_S7A3640.jpg Blog - Back in the USA!

The Ganges holds immense religious and cultural significance for Hindus. Thousands of pilgrims sojourn to Varanasi each year to baptize in its hallowed waters, a practice believed to remit sins. There may actually be something to the belief that the Ganges is pure and purifying. For years, scientists have been puzzled by how the Ganges maintained oxygen levels twenty-five times more than any other river in the world, despite the colossal about of oxygen-depleting organic waste accumulated in its waters. However, recent findings reveal that Ganges has a self-purification capacity in the form of several bacteriophages (viruses that eat bacteria). Good news since the Ganges also is of practical utility for the people of Varanasi who use it for bathing, washing clothes, recreation, and disposal of waste. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5640576fe4b040da969aebc6/1485433797481-E3AJ41XYX2PYJ9GK60VY/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Varanasi Sunrise at the Ganges River, Varanasi, India. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5640576fe4b040da969aebc6/1485434155187-Z9ENTQ0N1IAA93B0C39H/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Varanasi A sādhu is a Hindu ascetic commonly called baba (meaning elder such as father, grandfather or uncle) or “baba-ji” (with a suffix for added endearment) by common people. They are essentially homeless and usually nomadic. Becoming a sādhu involves a guru deciding that a sisya (the person desiring to become a sādhu) ready to take sannyasa, the life state of renunciation in which a person — usually after family life — renounces worldly and materialistic pursuits and dedicate their lives to the attainment of freedom from saṃsāra, the cycle of death and rebirth, by attaining enlightenment. Sadhus are considered dead unto themselves and are legally dead to the state of India.

This is typically in India. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell if someone is being genuinely friendly or merely engaging in glorified begging; I can't help but put my guard up. Although, as it turned out, Yusef fell into the latter camp, he did regale us with interesting stories about Kochi and his family lineage. Yusef's father was Jewish, a fact I didn't believe until I saw the Hebrew inscriptions on his father's tomb, which is located just outside Yusef's family's home. According to Yusef, his family was originally Hindu ("kings") and then converted to Islam, and then to Christianity, and then to Judaism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5640576fe4b040da969aebc6/1461850355762-LSX13UQQNGJ5F92BQWKX/image-asset.jpeg Blog - A Brief History of Beach Time Trapped for two weeks with this beach bum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5640576fe4b040da969aebc6/1461847049375-JQMSUXYR3WVQAT0NPG3R/image-asset.jpeg Blog - A Brief History of Beach Time A Ganesh temple ceremony in Kochi.

They are essentially homeless and usually nomadic. Becoming a sādhu involves a guru deciding that a sisya (the person desiring to become a sādhu) ready to take sannyasa, the life state of renunciation in which a person — usually after family life — renounces worldly and materialistic pursuits and dedicate their lives to the attainment of freedom from saṃsāra, the cycle of death and rebirth, by attaining enlightenment. Sadhus are considered dead unto themselves and are legally dead to the state of India. Most live off of the charitable contributions of lay people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5640576fe4b040da969aebc6/1454140946859-F65CM5DPKSEPD5JDKTTB/20151230-_MG_0143.jpg Blog - Rishikesh In Black and White - Bathing Babas Babas bathe in the near-freezing Ganges daily as part of their ascetic routine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5640576fe4b040da969aebc6/1454140871203-N7KYI3R8AAUNP54RD492/20151228-_MG_0009.jpg Blog - Rishikesh In Black and White - Happy Baba https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5640576fe4b040da969aebc6/1454140890750-VDYK5F048RTL84BQ8B93/20151228-_MG_0050.jpg Blog - Rishikesh In Black and White - Baba Drying Clothes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5640576fe4b040da969aebc6/1454140956680-ERD55K63B03FS7GYZKPK/20151228-_MG_9974.jpg Blog - Rishikesh In Black and White Boy drying off after taking a dip in the Ganges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5640576fe4b040da969aebc6/1454140877022-R6WPI1XMTZF762KNMCO1/20151228-_MG_0058.jpg Blog - Rishikesh In Black and White I encountered this girl on a ghat -- steps that lead to a holy river such as the Ghanges -- by Rham Jhula( the Rham bridge).
