Going to Rishikesh... cool, serene, green waters... so sacred... celebrating Shivratri...

Bum Bum Bhole... chant the devotees... as they march towards Rishikesh....

Going to Rishikesh.. fourth trip to India... feeling the bliss...

like a bridge... over troubled waters....

RISHIKESH

RISHIKESH
[A RELIGIOUS PLACE OF INDIA]

Lord shiva stopped the pace,
of Holy Ganges in his hairs in this place,
so it was named Rishikesh[ hairs of a saint]
Laxman Jhula[swing] stands firm,
to cross the devotees to Neelkanth[holy temple]
Ram Jhula makes the pilgrimmage more confirm,
Neel dhara[ blue stream] dances wayward,
Gita Bhawan is far more forward,
Swarg Ashram is more holy,
to shelter the persons totally,
Holy Ganges enlightens us,
by its holy touch of purity,
it bears the essence of several medicinal plants,
its Gangajal is our grants,
jingling of bells , sounds of shells,
chanting of mantras, in the holy dells,
Transports us to religious bliss
Go there once, don`t miss




Going to Rishikesh... this my fourth trip to India... feeling the bliss... feeling the bliss...


namaste friends..

Fourth trip to India Feb 2-23, 2012

FOURTH TRIP TO INDIA Feb 2-23, 2012..

I find myself in India for the fouth time in two years... by the grace of my guruji Sri Sri Paramahansa Yoganandaji... which without his intuitive guidance that he would send me when I was ready,  I would not be here at all....

the raison de etre in the material realm is to attend and present at various conferences... but the higher spiritual dimension pervades at a higher level of divine consciousness..

this is the dimension that few understand.. so it is quite convenient to have the academic reasons to justify these sojourns...

those among us who are connected to a higher reality beyond that of delusion (MAYA) can appreciate the very mystical and auspicious nature of my sojourns to Maa Bharata at this time in earth's history...

namaskar
OM NAMOH BHAGAVATE VASUDEVAYE
