Guess who`s back...



Hello everybody!


Hope you are good out there! After a longer period of silence (at least on this blog) the good news first:
Mr. Coconutyoga is still alive...

Some months ago I wasn`t sure, if i would continue writing or if all what happened only remain as a sad illusion former days. Heavy storms came over Coconutyoga`s World. Sometimes that`s the prize for flying to high. But better to crash after flying, then never trying it. I felt totally free, when I ended my journeys.
Anyhow - I regained strength and I am supposed to continue travelling. But not sure yet.

As my experiences while travelling even amplyfied my doubts about capitalism and the ability of humans to change their attitude towards saving the enviromental systems, it was necessary to find a way to express these thoughts and try to get people to think about the problems and possibilities of these challenging times.

So I started on May, the fourteenth, to write with some friends a political blog. Funny enough - one day later the spanish 15M-Movement occupied the square in Madrid. That time i had no clue about it and I heared about the events there much later, as there is not much broadcasting - at least in the etablished media.
Exactly thatswhy I am still writing it - to offer another view based on mainly independent media. It takes a lot to read all this stuff and pick the most important information and to comment them.

But it doesn`t remained "just" a virtual effort. I am part of a little Occupy-Group here in Stuttgart, Germany.
But it`s quite difficult here, as there are already protests against another project already since more than a year. Anyway, a very interesting experience. It is very challenging to get decisions based on real democracy, but it`s more than worth it. People start to talk wit each other again and everybody is challenged to learn and grow.

Occupy Wall Street has spreaded all over the U.S. It`s obvious that the challenges there are much bigger than in germany and the police as well is acting very different and sometimes extremely violent.
Greetings to the movement over there, stay strong! But not only in Europe and the US, no, all over the world there are people trying to express solidarity and gather to discuss challenges and possible chenges, to find agreements and slowly start to express their demands. But that will still take a while. If the politicans would have found solutions in years, there wouldn`t be a need for this kind of protest!
So we need a long breath to reach our goals - step by step.

But even if there wasn`t enough media reports about the protesting corwd worldwide on the 15th of October  it was a big sign...

And that was just the beginning! In Frankfurt there are 100 tents in front of the European Central Bank. I have been there too, its a very motivating crowd. The Occupy-Movement is more and more spreading to the consciousness of much more people. In Berlin there is finally a new camp, too.

That`s it so far about politics. It`s thatswhy very interesting for me, as this could be something that keeps me in the western world - if i have the feeling to be needed here. But don`t be sacred. This will be remain a personal blog...

I finished meanwhile the first edition of my book, what is including my travels, but also my challenging past. So it will take at least until christmas to get it to a state, when i can offer it to readers. I would love to see also an english edition. But let`s see. Step by step!

After finishing that project I will by tempted to visit asia again. I feel like this will happen, but I explained already under which conditions that could change. If I go i will visit my beloved INDIA again. Still haven`t seen Varanasi and there are still so much wonderful places to see. There aremore plans in my brain but I won`t release them now. The tiger needs to rest... ;-)

I failed to keep in contact with a lot of people, but maybe you can understand it now - as you have a little picture what is going on in my life. But I think about you and eveerybody i met remains in my heart.
It is so nice that peopleare awakening. And as most of the people I still have to do a lot of steps towards real freedom, but I am onmy way.

I wish you all the best and will keep you updatet from now on what is developing in the next time. These are exciting times - no question...
As i love it deeply i want to share "RAP NEWS".One of the most innovate productions I have seen so far. Pefect mix of satiric and serious message!

Much love from

Mr. Coconutyoga
