The year Ender trip to Varanasi in many ways was delightful, blissful.
The city is vast and has many gems to admire. Not just in physical sense in also inner experience plane. Revered place as it is immensely liberating.
A dip in the Ganges 
Remembering the time immemorial greats and civilizations that have lived, bathed and blossomed on its blessings and continue to do so.
A devotee's longing of lifetime to immerse into vibrations, energy, power, realisation, oneness at baba Vishwanath's dham.

The ghats and the Ganga aarati of mesmerizing evevenings

The long walks along ghats


The renewed vigour of ressurgence at the corridor
The Sarnath of historical importance
The recently opened new milestone of Kashi the Swarved Mandir
The towering landmark at BHU the birla Vishwanath mandir

The charm of kunds in interior lanes 
Not to forget the old own charm of narrow lanes and silk.

The spiritual book stalls. A burstling fortunate fellow devotee crowd. Blessed trip.

Thought train

The music is playing from my earphones and i have got one hour of a battery in laptop. This bearably hot evening i am on my train back to Bangalore from Udgir, my native. Humpi Link express, the train, is passing through some part of Andra Pradesh and its 4:47pm. In many Hindu rituals the priests pronounce the historic name of the area where the ritual is performed. I grew up listening to my being called as "Dandak Aranya". As it used to be called since Aryan time. Integral part of the Aryawarta - what we call Indian subcontinent. The Aryawarta as such is an island in every non-geographical sense, being surrounded by the Himalayan sea in the north and by the Indian Ocean, Arebean Sea and Bay of Bengal on the entire south. The stories from puranas tell the ancient stories related to the area - Dandak Aranya. It used to be a forest inhabiting extremely dangerous animals. This area was considered cursed, may be due to its inhospitality. On this day you rarely find a forest here.

Time, Timing & Making Things Happen

Effect of an action depends on its essentials and a great extent on its timings. Agreed there are absolute and unquestioned truths above & along the flow of time. Though that is not what we regard as time. As far as understanding of time goes there are uncountable human & environmental factors that make it almost impossible to reproduce a great phenomenon exactly same way again or at another place. It is said quite wisely, you always adapt, in a best possible way to any given situation. Folks who are successful are the ones who probably acted upon the best of the understanding of the given situation. There is no reason to believe the implied intension can not be carried out in a situation. Given the intentions do not have fundamental flaws, the environment to make them succeed can be induced. This truly should mean "making things happen" in a broader sense.
