Rishikesh
This is our last day in India. It will be sad to see this journey end tomorrow, but while this journey is ending, there is no doubt that a new journey is beginning. What I have learned on my visit to India will provide me with food for growth for the rest of my life.
Our journey today took us to the Bhootnath Temple. This is a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. I found out in my Astrology Reading that Lord Shive is my personal deity. I’m thrilled to be able to visit this temple on our last day in India.
The temple priest performed the Abhishekham Puja ceremony. This is a ritual ceremony dedicated to Lord Shiva The ceremony asks Lord Shiva for a blessing to help support a special intention. After the ceremony I shared my intention with a very special friend that I have met on this trip. He shared his intention with me. We now have Lord Shiva’s blessing, but just as important, we no have each other’s mutual support.
After our temple blessing we went down to the Ganga for a special gathering to celebrate the lives of three people that recently passed. The three celebrated were close to three of our group. It was a beautiful remembrance.
On the lighter side, here is today’s front page. Also, I couldn’t help capturing a line crew stringing new power line… we’re not in Wichita any more!
This has been an amazing trip. More precious than any other memory will be the memory of the bonds that I was fortunate to have made with my fellow travelers. You now live in my heart.
