Kailas Yatra Part-2: Simaron I named Shiva in breath garland

So it was decided, Natraj has to go to Shiva. Then what to take and what to bring back! The mind says, everyone should leave there. Nevertheless, preparations at home were on a war footing. For me, wearing jackets and pants were brought to me. Torch tie on the head. Mobile charging device without electricity. Rainy wearing in snowfall. Waterproof shoes, hats, socks, glasses and what not! Medicines used at high altitude. The chemical pouches that heat hands and legs, which can be felt hot only by keeping it in the pocket. Wife and children tied all these goods to Lucknow from Delhi, as if I am going to the Himalayas after Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norg. Sickness medicines in High Ultitude. For example, the blood thinning tablet is also laid with diamos. The doctor was of the opinion that if a bullet was taken in the morning and evening, the problem would not be much.

Some more friends from Lucknow attended the journey. We reached Nepalganj via Bahraich. Nepalganj was the Maoist impact area of ​​Nepal. That day there was a blockade of Maoists there. Closed all the way. We were a influential friend with us. There was police in protecting them. People told that Maoists and provoked after seeing the police. Incidentally, an old friend of mine from Nepalganj, who was earlier a local journalist, was working as the Area Commander of Maoists, they met me. Of great welcome. And with us reached the hotel safely.

Simicot a small village

I am not extreme, but do not know how it became extreme. Kailas Mansarovar's official visit is 26 days. Some tour operators via Nepal travel by landscreen trains on fifteen days. But we decided to travel in just five days, with the help of a tourist agency of Nepal. Through a chartered helicopter with seven seats. We had to take the helicopter to Hilsa in Tibet and returned from there to leave Nepalganj back. A three -hour trip ahead of Hilsa was to be decided by landscruzer vehicles. The rest of the travel items, tents, food items, khansama and guides were going to meet us in Taklakot. This team left Kathmandu separately for our group.

On the second day, we were at Nepalganj Airport. A bell helicopter was standing for us. The weather was bad, so the helicopter flew late for Simikot from Nepalganj. Simicot is a small village at an altitude of 10,000 feet in an inaccessible area on the Nepal-Tibet border. Captain Pradhan, the pilot of the helicopter, had a great experience of flight. Those men were also good. But my worry was something else. He was the only pilot in the helicopter, as our seventh companion was riding on the co-pilot seat. So the helicopter flew without co-pilot. We were above the Simikot after two hours crossing the mountain ranges laden with green trees.

At an altitude of ten thousand feet, there was a raw airstrip in this small village named Simikot. Small ships with twelve seat come here. These ships are a means of bringing their food and drinking items and contact with the outside world. Otherwise, markets are available only after walking seven days on both sides (Nepal and Tibet) in this settlement of hundred houses. The ration either comes from Nepal to the ship or through mules from Tibet. The mule crosses the inaccessible hills from Taklakot and reach here in seven days.

A question was blossomed again and again

Was in Nepal to say Simikot. China had more facilities than Nepal there. Even while living in Nepal, this village was cut off from Nepali civilization. We were held in a guest house made of wood near the control tower of the airport. What to do now? On this question, Captain Pradhan said that we will run tomorrow morning. At the moment you guys should rest here.

After all, why should we waste time till tomorrow? Why not walk today? we asked.

Pradhan said, first the synergy of your body should be signed from this height, then you will go ahead.

But we have no problem right now. We are like that. Can walk further.

Laughing head said, trouble may increase. Saying this, he went to rest.

Then all of us started getting heavy in turn. The body started to shut. Breathing started to breathe and felt that the breath is not quenching the thirst of the lungs. Captain was called. He gave us medicines and advised us to take long breaths. By evening, the lungs will get used to it. Now we were all expressing our gratitude to the captain. The purpose of staying here was known. By night we had become nature.

The breath was now starting to balance. There was a lot of movement and scope of walking but still less. We were engaged in the night of spending the night with coming and breath. The flashes of lying thoughts started again on consciousness. A question was repeatedly flashed in the mind that what is there in Shiva, which is worshiped in the north from Kailas to Rameswaram in the north? Which magnet is in his personality, due to which he considers him his own from Bhadralok to the exploited, deprived, beggar? He is the god of the proletariat. How and why their scope is so broad?

The journey became completely Shivamay

Rama's personality is deserted, the unleashed of Krishna and the lord of Shiva unlimited personality. They are the beginning and the end. They are molecules and infinite too. Perhaps that's why everyone else is God, only Shiva Mahadev. They are festive. He has art to celebrate even in mourning, depression and lack. They trust in the society that can dance. You can rise above Maya and lose yourself. This is the Shaiva tradition. German philosopher Frederick Nietzsche says, sad tradition creates a sick society. Shiva's dance is also held in the crematorium. He is the only deity to celebrate the crematorium. That is why Pandit Chhanulal Mishra also sings- Hori digambar play in Masane KhelThis singing belongs to the world.

Shiva is deeply covered not only in the country but also abroad. 'Hippie Culture' came to India from America in the 60s. The foundation of the Hippie movement can be seen in the culture movement of Greeks. But Shiva, the beginning deity of the hippies, was already present here or rather, Shiva etc. were hippies. Lord Shankar while dancing, dancing and singing. They are also called Bhangad, beggars, Bhola-Bhandari. The god of the common man, the symbol of hungry and nakes. They all live in desire to be free from social restrictions, make their own way and find new meanings of life.

This was a hurdle in his marriage. Devi's father was not ready to marry the daughter with this hippie. How will any father allow any hungry, naked, voter to marry her daughter. Shiva's procession contained naked, screaming, crazy, ghosts, matters. People started running away after seeing the procession. Shiva's procession is an example of his folk coverage in itself.

In our tradition, there is no greater God than the opposite poles and odd circumstances with a wonderful harmony. For example, he is the winner at work even after being Ardhanarishwar. Even being a householder, he is the ultimate disinterest. Even after being Neelkanth, he is indulged in poison. If you are furious, then Tandava is a gentleman filled with gentleness. Dayasindhu is also Shiva on the ultimate anger. Both Vishwadhar Nag and Gold Moon are their jewelery. They have the nectar of the moon and also the poison of the ocean. They are different from them even as the owner of Riddhi-Siddhi. Snakes, lions, peacocks, bulls, all are in front of them with the forgotten equality. They are nutritious of socialist system. Not just a destructive, they are also welfare, auspicious. That is, Shiva is a unique coordinator, the great coordinator.

I fell asleep while thinking. Even though it may look light in telling this, it is supernatural from the point of view that the journey became completely Shiva. Remembering Shiva, walking or in Udankhatole. Objective and goal also Shiva. Stop to rest, even in consciousness, go to sleep thinking between the curiosities of Shiva and Shiva to understand. It was really supernatural. Don't remember dreams Tiredness really gives deep sleep. The next morning was waiting for the journey ahead… Jai Jai!
