 After forty-one years, I am on two wheels in Himalayas. When we were doing the Kaveri calling ride in 2019, towards the end of the ride, Sadhguru was saying that in the next year or two, he will be doing this Himalayan rally and all of us should join him. So that was a kind of an invitation. Last two-and-a-half years, you know, I was dreaming that, you know, Kedar is calling me and I had a calling from inside that I wanted to go to Kedar. And the moment I got that sacred box is doing a Himalayan trip, it was not even a second thought. I just registered at the moment. Not looking for anything, just like it's almost like coming back into your mother's home. Visiting Himalayas is definitely a seeker's dream. Nothing is bigger right now for me in this life to explore this place with the master himself. We had just planned to buy a bike. So depending on what kind of bike suits this terrain, we bought the bike just before the Yatra, just for the Yatra. This is a land where more people invested their life in deeper pursuits of life than on the surface for a long time. So spiritual process means you want to touch the core element of who you are. Especially when I thought I would be like, you know, riding along with the group and Sadhguru, it was something, I think my heart just missed too many beats, not just one. And I said I have to do this because I don't know when this opportunity would come again. On 26th September, we left from Delhi, in Corbett National Park. From here it's full shade, no turning. Full shade, no turn. Go ahead. Even if you're turning, it's full no turn. Yes, I didn't mean it. We had a fantastic ride today, water ride. It was all nature and it's extreme gory. It's a beautiful scenic ride which we had and I think all the riders enjoyed it very much. Especially when we did the last 50 kilometers, the scenery was awesome. We were just riding into the forest and the roads were even exhilarating off roads. The riding in this terrain is really nice but in Sadhguru's company, it's out of the world. It's fantastic. I had very little sleep last night. I thought I'll fall asleep driving but just when we entered the forest, it was so refreshing and recharging. All my tiredness went away. We crossed a few streams. We had a fantastic time. It was fast, it was slow, at places it was risky but it was fun. Namaskaram. Namaskaram. Who are you? Suda. I'm still trying to find out. It seems like we were doing some traveling during the day and then we would get to a place at night. We have no idea what the place looks like or what and then you wake up in the morning in the daytime and you're in the middle of mountains, jungle, greenery, beauty, fog. I made Himalayan trip with some 700-800 rupees in my pocket. Those days I would never stay in a resort. My resort was on the roadside or on the motorcycle. So, there was no destination simply. Right? Seeing India. Bharat. So, Bharat beats in my heart like you can't imagine. It's not like a country, it's like an experience. Well, the moment you enter or pass through a door means you have entered the gates of Shiva. That's what it means. Navigator. From the Jim Corbett National Park, today we have a lunch stopover at Patanjali Yoga Beach. Meeting Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balakrishna. In front of all of you, I'm making sure Balakrishnaji and Baba are both becoming planet partners with me. Hello? So, they are, they are all at the same age, so... Sadhguruji always talking in Hindi and I'm always talking in English. We are going to Dharatun. So, we have an event with the chief minister of Uttarakhand and with his cabinet and his officers. From there back to Rishikesh, rest through the night and we are into the falls, endless falls of Himalayan. Lap, there we are. This ball of the mountain for twenty-seven years, continuously, I didn't come here looking for any spirituality or anything. Simply the magnetic nature of the mountains. But usually a mountain man means a wild man but these mountains tame me and discipline me. Many ways. The very fact that I'm still alive is because I discipline myself with the mountains. Otherwise, you won't survive. This morning like it was really fantastic, Sadhguru met all the bikers including me. This is Ramya. Do not try to ride like somebody else. Never do that. You ride through this thing, if you're coming late, we will stop and wait, okay? It's more challenging for the riders than the motorcycle. Important part of being on two-wheel seas, slowly your attention becomes very keen. Otherwise you won't live long. It's very simple. You may be a safe rider, that means you're not a rider because the idea of floating around on two wheels is to push the boundaries. Not that you have to unnecessarily take risks but you are pushing the boundary. Just coming to an altitude and elevation of the mountain is not good enough. You must become elevated. This life is always longing to break its barriers. Spiritual process need not be taught. If you just bring down your transactions, it will just burst forth. Two rivers merging into each other, it was Alaknanda and Mandakini. From there, our actual temple trips started. So every temple we went to, we did regular darshan and then afterwards all us meditators set by the temple and meditated for 20-30 minutes. One way or the other, it was a very strange surge of energy and you could feel the intensity at a different level. I went to Agastya ashram. I had a chance to meditate inside the shrine. I had a very intense experience and within a couple of minutes I was just sitting there. I think my body felt completely different. I felt the whole place just reverberating. This morning we went to Rudra Prayag, Confluence, the Prayag, and it is a conference of two tributaries of Ganga river. But once all the participants went, we sneaked in and took a dip and that dip was incredible. It was like we were taking a dip in Tirthakura. It was that energizing. We were taking at just the Prayag, the Sangam of two rivers. Even though we have heard that there is Mandakani, there is Alaknanda, there is Pinder, there is so many Prayag, but every single place if we just sit quietly it gave a sense of beyond what I am doing everyday life. The idea of pilgrimage is you must become like nothing after pilgrimage. If that is not possible at least something little less than what you thought you were. That's idea coming into the mountains. Not because you're going up a mountain. This is just to realize that this day is the most important day in my life because I'm alive this day, not another day. The biggest things that need to happen to me need to happen to me now, this day. So this is pilgrimage. If you're like this, you're always on a pilgrimage. Gupta Kashi is very significant to me. It's a tremendous place. This is a place where Sadguru Sri Brahman stayed for a period of time. So we've been there and every time we're in Yamalai as we've always been there. You know what Gupta Kashi means? It's a secret Kashi, so don't tell anybody. Gupta Kashi is a powerful, powerfully consecrated place and it was in a certain state of dilapidation because it's a really energy-wise, quite a spectacular place. Just to have that opportunity to experience and be in those same spaces where our Guru has been so overwhelming, which I don't think, you know, would have been possible ever. Once she gets into her fury, initially she destroys her enemies. After that she has no sense. She destroys everything. She was in such fury so Shiva was lying on her path. So she also cut him up. Then she frapped a deep sense of regret and kind of shame and then settled down here. The lower half of the body got established here as the Kali Mant. So when she's in fury, she's not only destroying her enemies, anybody who comes in the way. Things that are precious to her also. This is a depiction to show that once your passions arise beyond a certain point you will destroy what's most dear to you, your own life. We were able to visit the temple. We had got to do Guru Pooja there and took us through a process and the energy was so intense there. So we visited a very special place called Gopeshwara and in that there's a special Shiva temple called Gopinath Temple. Badrinath is so much energy there is not one person who can go by without feeling the energy. This was not supposed to happen. I was not supposed to come here. One idea of coming into the mountains is if you had walked up, if you had looked up you would know your motto you're here just as a life not even as a human being just as a life. If you can be here just as a life you will see you will go as an enhanced life. The best way you will organize your life if you understand there's a very limited amount of time you would organize your time the way it matters to this life, isn't it? One place that is geometrically congruent with the sound Shiva is Kedav. You're not in Himalayas just to enjoy the natural beauty well it is spectacularly beautiful but that's not the only point at least some taste of something you must take with you. Even if you don't eat at least you must smell if you cannot even distinguish the smell of one thing from the other tch we don't know what you will consume in your life. These are the places where you need to hone your senses to know what is what where is the fragrance of divine where is the filth of life should come to that kind of sensitivity these are good places to do that. When I saw Kedav he just broke down I just felt like I was waiting to do the darshan and another part is that Guru already went I don't know whether he went into the temple or not but he was with a partner and there's something I wanted for myself I didn't happen. With Sathguru behind no expectation just sitting with his grace the divine, the divinity was coming down. All of us were excited because Sathguru said I'm trekking back with you it was unbelievable. Over now when we're going down I think he's carrying all of us I don't feel a bit of tiredness or heaviness of breath nothing. For all the service you're doing here wonderful. Coming by reading a book then you're engineering. See you here. Sathguru we are proud that we have a critical life. If you're not in a transactional mode you will see you will naturally become attention to life. If you pay enough attention you will realize how small and fragile a life you are especially in the mountains. It comes home strong when you really understand the nature of your existence you're a speck of life in the middle of a limitless cosmos you're a pilgrim. This whatever this 10-12 days is a startup after that you must continue the pilgrimage your life should be a pilgrimage that all the time you're growing into a bigger possibility that is not only a 12-day trip that must be life. Best experience I've ever had in my life this trip was something different this was right from day one this was a roller coaster ride because since I was a child I always wanted to go to Himalayas I don't know why and my dad did not take me but my guru made this possible. How my perspective needs to change to more inward instead of more outward and the lightness that comes with that the freedom that comes with that I'm going to take that home with me this time. You touch many peaks in your life not necessarily mountain peaks but many peaks of human consciousness you must touch them. Thank you to all the volunteers who work seamlessly to make this happen. Anywhere you stop people on the road suddenly randomly come stop and take blessings from Sadhguru not just come and take yesterday there was a guy who just rode in between us on an activa for almost hundred kilometers matching our speed we thought he's just racing or he's trying to be cool being in between the bikes or something later we realized when we stopped he was just coming there to touch his feet he did not even ask for a picture so this has been such a humbling experience because there are so many people they have been meeting him in different different different ways. I will be available to you in more ways than you understand keeping yourself willing is your business.
