Himalayas Kedarnath Temple September 2019

 





Framed with the beautiful Mandakini river, snow-clad mountains, forests and mesmerising views, Shri Kedarnath is a deeply spiritual experience for travellers. Each year, thousands of Hindu pilgrims flock to the temple to seek the blessings of Lord Shiva. What makes the temple town so special? Because Shiva resides here permanently.

I had the blessings to visit this temple in 2019 and I must say that it has changed my life forever. The energy level in this temple and its surroundings is just inspiring.

There are various versions about the origin of the Kedarnath temple. Some say it was built by Hindu seer Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th Century. Other versions claim it was built by Raja Bhoj of Malwa in 2nd Century.

The lingam at Shri Kedarnath, unlike its usual form, is pyramidal and is regarded as one of the 12 Jyotirlings. Lord Shiva manifested in the form of Jyotirlingam or the cosmic light. Shri Kedarnath is highest among the 12 Jyotirlingas. This ancient and magnificient temple is located in the Rudra Himalaya range. This temple, over a thousand years old is built of massive stone slabs over a large rectangular platform.

Jai Shri Kedareshwaraya Namaha

Human-Being or Human-Doing???

  Difference between a Human-Being and a Human-Doing? Sounds weird to you!!! Well, ask yourself the question as to what is the most fundamental part of a Human? Is it to Be, or to Do? Let me help you on that a bit. When you are Doing- its action, its consequences, its movement. When you are Being - its stillness, its thoughts, its experience of your senses, its your Self. When you are Doing, there will be an outcome to what you are doing, or have done or are thinking of doing. When you are Being, its just you in your Being state. Experiencing yourself, down to basics, back to your own awareness, your breathe. To find Happiness, BE in the Being, than in the Doing. Might be difficult to start, but try to persevere and see the magic of your SELF unfold.

Love of a child

Image
  This morning I was out running and I came across this mother cycling and seated behind her was her maybe 15 month baby girl. One of the prettiest baby girl I have seen. Her mum cycled past me but this child kept looking back at me so I waved at her. Once, twice, no answer. But the third wave had her answering back with a shy smile and a cute little wave. Than I blew her a flying kiss and she did the same back to me. She was all smiles and there was so much innocence and love in her gesture. This little angel made my day today. If only all humans can remain child like forever. Or have a child inside them which pushes them to be spontaneously loving and not doubting anything when you want to show love. I took her as my sign for today from the ONE above and my heart is filled with so much gratitude. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
