Char Dham Yatra - Breaking the cycle in Mystical Himalayas Part1 of 2

The Char Dham Yatra A pilgrimage is where the inner space is sought to be explored by transposing it onto a physical terrain in Nature. It is an ancient art that is meant to be lived, experienced and imbibed by every kind of person - from the one given to worship to the man of science, for the Nature lover as well as the one who loves to challenge himself or herself. The core of a pilgrimage is the natural body to which you go, be it a mountain, a forest or a water body. It’s a time to commune with the five elements. The second main feature is often a pilgrimage associated with one or many adepts, who have either lived there, meditated there or have passed away there. A certain presence is associated with them. The third is the deity, who is said to embody the qualities and nature of the power of that particular place of Nature and lays out the protocols that need to be followed to tune into those energies. The Char Dham is considered among the most universal and powerful of the pilgrimages due to its unique combination of these factors. The Char Dham series of blogs has two blogs on the Char Dham Yatra itself. Once you get a grasp of what this means, you can listen to the Mountain Logs, a series of logs written by Dr. Bharat Thakur daily during the actual ten day Yatra itself. We begin with the first episode or Blog 1 “Breaking The Cycle In Mystical Himalaya” which gives an introduction to the whole concept of the Yatra in the background of Char Dham. <br/>EPISODE 1In Episode 1 we look at what the quest is all about and what is it that the pilgrim seeks. SEGMENTSQuestions and the questRecognising the questZone of Silence
