I N INDIA DURING THE RAINY SEASON, holy men, seekers and even householders who can take that time remain at one place and curb their correspondence and contacts in order to meditate and go within. In the Himalayas we love this weather because it takes us automatically within and reduces our outgoing tendencies naturally. These three or four months from June to September, called chaturmasa, bring out the clouds of our minds and gradually help us to cleanse our minds, to cultivate self-control and to culture our nature.
