Kanye West is planning to spend a month at a Hindu retreat in Pondicherry, India. The move comes as friends urge the outspoken hip-hop star to enter treatment for alcohol addiction in the wake of his infamous VMAs stage-crashing and the cancellation of his tour with pop newcomer Lady Gaga. Kanye is hoping to find spiritual guidance during 30 days of solitude at Sri Aurobindo Ashram.

“He feels terrible about Taylor Swift and sees it as another sign that his life is going in the wrong direction since his mother died,” a tipster spills to Star Magazine.
