The often slippery trek from Karla caves entrance at the highway (near Malavali) to Bhaje and then on to Lohagad makes for a great full day's plan - especially with the monsoon in a bloom.<br /><br />BTW, saw you and your mom with The Foodie and wished the TV could deliver the food along with audio-visual.<br />Kaustubhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34858118.post-83819621384440301122013-10-08T00:29:24.716+05:302013-10-08T00:29:24.716+05:30Hey, Saw you on Times foodie episode.

I chanced upon your blog today ...Hi Ms. Krishnan, <br /><br />I chanced upon your blog today and simply loved it. Both your photographs and your descriptions are very good - I am particularly enamoured by your photos of the Buddhist cave temples at Bedse.<br /> <br />Just one piece of feedback. 'Hinayana', meaning, 'the low, degraded vehicle' is a pejorative used by the practitioners of the later Buddhist schools, which styled themselves 'Mahayana', meaning, 'the great vehicle' to refer to the early school of Buddhism. The practitioners of the early form of Buddhism, who today form the majority in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, refer to their faith as 'Theravada', a Pali word derived from the Sanskrit word, 'Sthaviravada',meaning, 'The Doctrine of the Elders'. None of the school textbooks in India mention this, so most people unknowingly refer to the early school of Buddhism by the pejorative that the practitioners of the later schools coined for it.<br /><br />Your blog is unique in that it serves to bring people closer to the many cultures of this land by writing about them in a beautiful, respectful manner. In that spirit, I request you to change 'Hinayana' to 'Theravada' or 'Sthaviravada' in your blog.<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />Kalidas Narayanan Iyer Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13851095494371083662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34858118.post-65686557354615076752013-08-30T00:12:22.470+05:302013-08-30T00:12:22.470+05:30You take us to places one would otherwise not have...You take us to places one would otherwise not have known.
