On one of these Sunday nights, I viewed my photo album of the Kailash Manas yatra once again. The photos are my treasure and a source of delight. I was pleased to meet up with many of the pilgrims to reminisce about the past through the photo gallery. In retrospect, I also recalled how a […]
When we were roaming like wanderers in boundless Tibet, during some introverted moments, a thought would arise and float in my mind like white fluffy clouds and recede. I would talk several times to myself “Tibet is a very religious and spiritual country, very much like India who has most tolerant and enlightened body of […]
The Kailash Mansarovar yatra commences from Kathmandu, Nepal. Irrespective of where we came from, we all assemble at Kathmandu. We stayed in a palace converted into a hotel named Shanker hotel and the stay was very comfortable. Ours was a large group and all of us looked forward to what lay ahead of us. Behind the buzz […]
Those three white dots are our vehicles Before anyone embarks on a spiritual journey, one important question for the future yatri-the pilgrim must know beforehand and be very clear in his mind regarding this aim. And that is-why he wishes to go on this pilgrimage? As Kailash Mansarovar yatra is a difficult one, mental preparedness […]
A pilgrimage to sacred Mt. Kailash and Mansarovar in the impressive Himalayas was a journey of a life time. It was a wonderful journey and will always be treasured and remembered with fondness and sweet memories. From today, we begin our holy journey once again. As I move along with you recounting my trip, I will share some of my experiences […]
A note- A few readers have written to me expressing their wish that instead of entering 2 posts every month I must post 3 as they look forward to them with yearning. Dear friends, at the start I myself had thought that I must post 3 short and concise posts so that there is continuity […]

Life history “I started contemplating or doing my yoga from the age of four. There was a small chair for me on which I used to sit still, engrossed in meditation. A very brilliant light would then descend over my head and produce some turmoil inside my brain. Of course I understood nothing, it was […]
Shakti is the Universal primary Force. As mentioned in the last post, it could be both-constructive or destructive. We are concerned with constructive force as spirituality involves dealing with positive force. Prior to the post on ‘Shakti,’ 3 more articles were written about one more type of force and that was Kundalini Shakti. In those posts […]
What is Shakti? Shakti is a Force. It is the unseen force by which this whole Universe was created. Nobody knows who created this force and how and when was it created. Vedas have called it anadi for this reason. Shakti cannot be seen but can be only felt by us or we can simply say that it is […]
Jai Jagdish Harey, Keshav Jai Jagdish Harey… Some years back in my previous neighbourhood, I knew a lady who used to sing beautifully. She had a soft voice and sang very nice devotional songs. Once I requested her to teach me a few songs so that I could sing them to myself and in this way […]
