I was aware that the quaint little hamlet of Chilianaula, a little downhill from Ranikhet, had a great more deal on its palette other than the quintessential Himalayan range lodging sizeable trees of pine and massive cedars, and of course, the heavenly ashram of Shri Baba Haidakhan.
What I did not know was that in the premises of the Ashram, there ran an oddly attractive shed by the name of Rama Bar which sold the best dark chocolate in the most rustic variety! And the one who to brew froth outta it was a German –Punk- turned- Indian- Baba, who’d been residing in and out of the Ashram past 30 years now.
This guy, likely running in his fifties, ran a media house cum coffee hut, which, like I mentioned above, is, peculiarly, named Rama Bar. And tell you all, his is the most sophisticated, most hospitable, and most spiritual coffee shop I’ve come across ever. There’s coffee, chocolate, gadgets, Hanuman statues, pictographs, and many other small and big objects housed in the same little room, which is probably only 10 feet wide and just as long!
Seemingly, it all did seem interesting and wonderful enough to have a mention of it in my blog!
This, and more. He makes movies too.. like short films on Shri Baba. And he’s got his own media production house, apparently called : Lallywood TV. Just as unusual as it sounds, it comes from Lall Baba. Oh yes, this guy’s called Christoph, a.k.a. Lall Baba! Hence, the name of the production unit.
Disclosing a smidgen bit more information here would sway me away from my purpose of keeping the fascination intact. I, therefore, stop.

ReplyDeleteHey ... I just rent a house in Kumaon, with the view to the 7000 meter mountains and this special good air ...
ReplyDeleteIt is funny to read about yourself ... the german-punk-turnt-indian baba ...
life is a jolly joker game, a movie-show, a quiz-game with God and all these beautiful coloured HinduGodess' ... it's a dance between the poles of yes and no and black and white, the rockN roll of Maya of the dual thinking.
India is my inspiration to discover the fifth element and even now ... after so much change in "incredicble India" to a Coca-Cola Mc Donald's part ... here is a vibration you never find somewhere else ...
THIS IS A HOMMAGE TO INDIA
The RamaBar can contact you with one of the nice aspects in the west ... high quality basic stuff like good, fresh grinded coffe together with filtered clean water served in good cleaned and polished glasses in a quick and perfect style ... of course in a high price level - this is the west. Whenever you come to this area ... and when then the bar is open you have to enter: planet lallywood
