If you enjoy your work, you will never work a day in your life! Sitting around doing nothing is boring, there is only so much partying you can do folks. Find your passion and follow it😉
I met Eight finger Eddie in 1996. Had dinner with him at Joe banana's in Anjuna Beach. He was as nice as he appears. We create our own reality. Eddie did not want to get stuck in a 9-5 job for life. But if you are in a 9-5 job, it is important to find joy and gratitude in what you are doing. Mastering your job is very valuable and developing increased capacity, responsibility and accountability through work is a very valuable spiritual practice...........Karma Yoga. Eddie did many good works and helped many people so he was not just wasting his life doing nothing. RIP Eddie. Thankful that we met.
@@smoothbuddha7212 Eddie helped a lot of people in the early days of the Anjuna Beach scene....going back to the 60's. If someone didn't have food, he fed them. If they had no place to stay, he housed them. Many of those people never forgot Eddie's goodwill and so all that he gave was returned to him continuing on until he passed. Eddie was in the flow of life and so he was never without the basic needs of his existence....which were very simple there in Anjuna Beach. It didn't take much money to survive there in the earlier days. In 93 I rented a room for 50 dollars a months. You could rent a house for 100 per month. A simple Indian meal was 50 cents or less. Eddies form of currency was goodwill towards others......
Hey, I'm indian and I would like to know more about your visit to goa in 90s, I'm trying to do some research and get an idea of what it was like back then, so if you have an social media account can you share it? so we could talk,if you don't mind.
I once asked Eddie what his thoughts were when he came to India first time, expecting an "enlighted" answer of sorts, or something exotic. His answer made me laugh, he said: "I thought GREAT, now I NEVER have to WORK again".
There's this autobiographical book called: Flash ou Le Grand Voyage, about the hippie trail from Europe to India and Nepal in 1969. The protagonist, Charles Duchaussois met Eddie amongst the hippies in Kathmandu. Everything was wild back then. He said Eddie danced around graciously with a vietnamese and an african american GI on the lam from Vietnam in a restaurant called the Cabin. Eddie was living between the beach in Goa and Nepal. Later he and most of the hippies are expelled from Nepal, and that's the last we see of him on the book. It's great that he continued living how he wanted for so many years, I'm glad I found these vídeos of him on youtube.
Very nice Arianne and MangalandBaba :) Enjoyed reading the sadhu tale of Ram Puri Baba, and dancing to your set in asheville spring 2008 I think...most dancing still I've ever done in my life chewing on coca leaves most of the time :) Om Namah Shivaya
