Himalayas - Tapobhumi, Uttarakhand

Rishikesh – Finding my way through the hum drum of the main city

Treading downhill towards the distant river, I found my way to her banks, only to open up to a beautiful vista of mountains and the blue green Mother Ganga, who spread her ‘aanchal’ to nourish us – mayya, as she is fondly called.

At the rock in the river I find myself to sit in twin heart meditation as the energy vibrations felt stronger than ever before – Tapo bhumi, a place where millions of prayers, millions of meditations, for millions of years have purified that part of the world, to enhance a sadhaka’s practice. The lightness of air, the intensity of praana, the every moving, ever fresh waters of the Ganga – with a grateful reverent heart I receive... and ask – I want to serve you? How can I?
