I wanted to share my experience with you all about my recent trip to Uttarakhand. It is rightly called as Devabhoomi, such a wonderful place to be in if you are looking for a break from your regular activities. The roads throughout the state are absolutely fantastic (1/n)
Riding a bike or self-driving a car would be even more enjoyable with some nice curves. After getting down at Dehradun, we were going to a scenic place called "Kanatal". This is the place where the chance of snow is very high, it is approx 85 km from Dehradun. (2/n)
By the time, we reached the homestay at Kanatal, the temperature was single digit. The caretaker helped us with Bon Fire to settle initially and served us a hot hot dinner. Dinner menu - Chap, dhal, rice, mattar paneer, curd and pickle. (3/n)

This is #VyasGufa where Chiranjeevi Rishi Krishn Dwaipayan,known as #VedVyas for dividing the Vedas,did Sadhna Tapasya
#AdiShankaracharya also did Tapasya in this cave & taught Brahma Sutras & Upanishads to his disciples here
Its in the last village- Mana, on Indo Tibetan border ImageImage
In this cave itself, #VedVyas ji gave Darshan to #AdiShankaracharya & granted him 16 more years of life to
write commentaries on #BhagavadGita & Upnishads.
Unfortunate Hindus, who instead of absorbing those energies, come here to make reels & click selfies.. govts give a damn!
Sanctity of the precious sthal is marred by pink chuna painted on it, some cheap construction in & around it & the Macchi bazaar of uninformed Hindus- an example of ones who are hell bent upon ruining their heritage!
I sat in dhyan there for 3 consecutive days in spite of all! ImageImage

The twin cities in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, Haridwar and Rishikesh, have a major importance in a spiritual tour in India. Both the cities are situated on the banks of the holy river Ganges and surrounded by the Himalayas. Thousands of pilgrims visit the places for a
grand experience of spiritual elevation. No meat or alcohol is allowed within these cities, to retain their sanctity.

Rishikesh is named after lord Vishnu, who appeared before Saint Raivya after his meditation. The name Rishikesh means ‘the lord of Senses’. The city has a
pleasant weather throughout the year and any time is suitable for visiting the city.

The Ram Jhula and the Lakshman Jhula are two important bridges in Rishikesh. It is believed that Shri Rama and his brother Lakshmana crossed the Ganges following the paths where the bridges

When I was staying with Babaji for the first time in the Arundhati cave, close to the Vasishta Gufa in #Rishikesh, I used to sit in, padmāsana, close my eyes and try to meditate.

Repeated attempts with no success.

One day Babaji smiled and said, “you can close your eyes but can you shut your mind up?”

I said, “no, trying hard.”

“Theek hai”, Babaji said, “now untangle your legs from the Padmasana. Sit comfortably in Sukhasana. Face the river. Open your eyes and look at the #Ganga.”
