From Goa I do not go that easy, because it is a wonderful spot!
The night train rattle and really can not think of sleep!
Another half day on the bus and I'm done.
Ajanta is a place were the entire temples were carved into the rocks! The Buddhists of that time, still had no idea of the Muslims and the British, they just were Buddhists from the first hour, so these statues are so natural and beautiful, that it is almost not describe able in words.
I learn something new, a Buddha performs the following 5 actions or prostrations:
He blesses, for that he keeps an open palm with the fingers upwards towards the front.
He donates, for that he keeps an open palm with the fingers downwards to the front.
He is in deep meditation, the palms are superimposed.
He is connected to the earth, for that one of his palms is laid down to the ground.
He teaches, for that each hand form a circle with the index finger and the thumb.
It is so beautiful and the impression is very strong.
