for nepalese hindus, today is kukur puja, the second day of the five day tihar festival, nepal’s version of diwali. literally meaning “worship of dogs,” kukur puja is dedicated to honouring our special relationship with dogs, who are adorned in vermillion and garlands of marigold. photos by (click pic) narendra shrestha, niranjan shrestha, navesh chitrakar, prakash mathema in kathmandu.

What a joyful puja!

Over the past 10+ years that I've practiced yoga, I have found myself many times on the mat with a dog or cat nearby. I have never seen these members of my family as a distraction or a hinderance to my practice, but rather an integral part of my path. Without them my life would not be filled with the love, patience, devotion, joy, pain, fear, grounding, and connection that it is. This blog is for all of our best friends. I look forward to your submissions. Om Shanti! - Gopi Om
