Kawadiyas ,the Lord Shiva worshippers who carry ganga water to various shrines of shiva and do abhisheka os the lord. sometimes they even travel on foot upto 150 kms carrying two pots or vessels of ganga water on their shoulders, they gathered at hardwar to collect the holy water and take a holy dip.

BACK AT RISHIKESH

HI ALL,
Iam back at my fav. spot Rishikesh. I have come yesterday night and would be comming to hyderabad on 13th.
he experience at Badari aws very thrilling and fulfilling and i think all you guys should experience this feeling. it was very memorable and i shall miss this experience of being at Badari which is really Go-Loka but for few adjustments and eligibilities which will have to be fulfilled in order stay here.
I tis said it gives 1000 times more result when a spiritual practice is performed here and it gives 1,00,000 times more when it is performed at satopanth 25 Kms badarinath towards further north (ref. Skanda Purana). So, Guysare you interested to go to Satopanth for a month next year? I have made all the necessary contants and have gathered information for the same.but the challenges are also going to be many as the whether is going to be extreme but we can adjust by staying there for 8- 10 days and doing sadana for 20-21 days. in all 30- 35 days . i think we atleast 5-6 of us should plan next year from now onwards. but this is not for cry babies or weak hearts but only for dare devils. but believe me the fruits are in comparable and the feeling is indiscribable. you will not feel like comming back once you get used to this place. its as if being in heaven. so do infrom if interested to come next year and plan from now onwards.
I shall up date this blog once in hyderabad.
