We arrive in Rishikesh...
Hiro gets off at the Main Bus Stand in the entrance of the town and I continue on to the bridge at the edge of Mother Ganga where I run into three of my friends here from the Wise Earth School also attending the International Conference - Ayurveda & Yoga 'Where Science Meets Consciousness' for five days as well as the following five days with our Guru, Mother Maya, for the Sacred Reality Tour here in Rishikesh and the surrounding areas. What good fortune! After popping my bags on the same manual rickshaw with the very strong and sweet carrier, we head towards the bridge that takes us across to Parmath Niketam Ashram where we are to stay for the first five days in attendance of the conference.
Walking over the bridge which does not allow cars or autos, (cows, dogs, people, sadhus, seekers, scooters and motorbikes are ok!) one first hears Mother Ganga rushing before you see her in her glory. It is a power that has been revered, is nightly crowned with the arrati puja and a gift that keeps on giving to the plains, the lands, the peoples throughout this area on route to its mergance with the Bay of Bengal.
I have run out of time to continue at this moment but I will...be back...
With love from the Land of the Rishi's and with deep gratitude for all
Om
