Some mornings will always be remembered, they will be remembered even when we are in the dark night and they will be remembered even when dark clouds will be looming over the sky and in our thoughts. One such memorable morning was that of Bhadraaj temple, where we camped and when we opened our eyes, they embraced the golden landscape in their arms as if they wanted to stop time and stay here.
While roaming in the Himalayas, sometimes I think about my eyes that both my eyes have seen so much, out of which I keep selected places and views in my memory and whatever I do not understand or do not like, I remove it from my consciousness. I know about my conscious mind but I have no idea what is going on in my subconscious mind.
After Philosophy, I will talk about this place which is in the state of Uttarakhand located in the North of India, Uttarakhand is also called Devbhoomi and Devbhoomi means the land of Gods. The location is Bhadraaj temple which is situated at 2215 meters. Situated about 16 km from Mussoorie, this temple has been built in the memory of Lord Krishna's brother Balram because he had sat here and meditated for centuries.
While camping at night, we saw the golden moon, the moon came out of the horizon in the same way as a hero comes in a film. The moon spreading its coolness was looking at us and we were looking at it. The moon is speechless, that is, it is dumb but not me. I talked to it and like every time, today also the subject was the same that "you make me strong even in the darkness". And every time after listening to me, the moon goes a little higher from the horizon.
On the other hand, when I come out of the tent the next morning and look, the valley has become yellow, it seems as if someone has mixed yellow color in a bucket and sprinkled it on the valley. The mountains in front looking like a painting are taking a holy bath in the light of sunrise. I have witnessed this golden sight, I have to tell the Sun that you were with me even when no one was there and you are my friend even today when I have everything.
