I have distinct memories of #goldentemple and what it has taught me . I can’t forget that . Of aspect more sublime; that blessed mood, In which the burthen of the mystery, In which the heavy and the weary weight Of all this unintelligible world, Is lightened:—that serene and blessed mood, In which the affections gently lead us on,— Until, the breath of this corporeal frame And even the motion of our human blood Almost suspended, we are laid asleep In body, and become a living soul: While with an eye made quiet by the power Of harmony, and the deep power of joy, We see into the life of things. ~#wordsworth #poem #india #amritsar #sikhexpo #gurunanak (at Golden Temple)
Thanks family and there’s one more good news I am going to andaman. I am gonna miss #Goldentemple
These two years has been huge in my life . I was able to love , laugh and experience sadness . Sometime all at the same time . I made friends for lifetime . I found a way to God and happiness . I don’t get angry now . I was able to experience emotions both high and low . Share memories with people high and low . The place(mindset) where I started this journey and the place where(mindset) ended are not same . My philosophy of life has been changed . Actually I have been metamorphosed into this loving guy , Who sees love in everybody because of my experiments I was able to see love is supreme and only law of this life . I was able to experience human relationships. These people ( with them like many more ) were crucial for me to see the light and I was able to converse with them , share the laughter and many memories . I want to say thank you to everybody for asking those questions and making me realise many things in this little puny life . I am grateful for all the people who came into my life and for making these two years very memorable and full of learnings . ❤️ I want to ask for forgiveness as well because I was learning constantly, I have made mistakes and I may have hurt( intentionally and unintentionally) many people in this journey . So please forgive me as well . I hope this year( 2017 ) will be enriching and full of learnings . I want to end by this quote : it’s all I have to bring to-day , I and my heart . Thank you . ,❤️ #love #thankyou #worldnomads #gopro #goproin #india #backpack #amritsar #sikhexpo #sikhism (at Golden Temple Amritsar)
I have seen all places but none can compare to You
So wrote the fifth Sikh Guru, Arjan Devji, upon completion of the Harimandir Sahib more popularly known as the #GoldenTemple .The Guru’s words are enshrined in the Sikh scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib, and their sentiment has been repeated innumerable times by subsequent generations of pilgrims and travellers alike. Considered to be one of the world’s most beautiful buildings, it is also one of the most visited, outstripping even the Taj Mahal. It is allegedly the fourth most visited heritage site in the world, attracting peoples of all faiths and none. It is a rare person who isn’t struck by its deeply spiritual essence and serenity. As Mark Tully so eloquently stated, it is a place “where only those entirely devoid of all spirituality could fail to feel something of the presence of God”.

In Amritsar, on the walk back from the Golden Temple. We stopped to chat with this young man who asked us about our “marriage” - love marriage or arranged?
Amritsar is a city Northwest of Delhi. It took 6 hours to reach it by train, and our short visit there was wonderful. We spent hours admiring the Golden Temple - the spiritual epicentre for the Sikh faith. The atmosphere surrounding the temple was incredibly serene. It was a welcome break from the honking tuk tuks and the hustle and bustle of city streets. Nate and Paul bought a few kites which made for a very enjoyable afternoon - we climbed to the roof of our hostel and with the help of Gopi, one of the hostel managers, we flew a kite high in the sky (not without crashing and ripping a couple kites first). It was amazing to look out across the rooftops of Amritsar and watch the hundreds of kites that were soaring all around us. Amritsar was a friendly city and was slightly toned down compared to the metropolis of Delhi where we had come from. We had great chats with curious shopkeepers and passer-bys who wanted to know where we were from and what we thought of their city.
After two days and one night, we set off again towards Jaisalmer, with a stop-over in Bikaner. Now we’re preparing for a little camel safari in the desert!
