Post by Yudron »

Any of ya'll have a source of a half cup to a cup of naturally occurring sindhura powder (from a river)?

Yup, I get it from a thermal spring from the centre of the island.

Here is the source:

That is so Vajrayogini!

What part of the world is this island in? Greece?

Yes, the site is on the island of Lesbos (sooooo... Vajrayogini) Greece http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesbos" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It's about a 40-50km drive from where I live.

It's true, Ngodrup, I'm not 100% sure who you are yet... so I hesitate to give a saucy reply to this.

But, I'm enjoying solving the riddle... and your on-line personality.

Yudron,

You're welcome to share a little joke. I'm not always serious.
We can recognize LTR's disciples by their slightly naughty sense of humor.
Anyway we are acquainted, just a little bit. Doesn't matter.
