Margrat,Londoner Lady working for British Standards has come to India to learn eternal wisdom.As she stayed in Janakpuri,New Delhi as paying guest met me during spiritual meeting.

She spoke lovingly about Indian culture and peoples hospitality,exhibited her intention to visit again and again this multifabric and multicultrual land which she emphasised that in her previous birth she has some relation with this beautiful country.

She wanted to drive down tot his eternal land and asked me to accompany her to holy cities.
As we drove from Delhi to Haridwar,she found the place full of sernity,peaceful and watched the Ganges with people having sacred dip.At the time of dusk the sacred water flows with lights on it gave grandeur sight to watch with Ghats beauty at its best.Most of prayers as suggested by the Pundits were done by her and by us also and we moved in the night to one of the Ashrams where the caretaker sadhu gave exemplary display of the Yoga excercise in its best yogamudra.
Next morning we made a visit to holy Shiva temple along the Ganges which also draws lots and lots of devotees.In the afternoon we reached Rishikesh,the self style holy site,the channel city whioch brings the sacred Ganges river from the tumbling,bubbling water to plain city of Rishikesh which has on its north -east series or chains of mountains.
City is spread on both side of river Ganges,residential and city like look on one side and on the other side of Ganges the Line-up of ashram where sages and Madhadish {HIGH PRIEST} is looking after the ashram and propagating the eternal wisdom of the east.
Between the two faction of the city Laxman swing bridge connects the Ashram and unplanned city.
With Ashram running in line offer a corridor of market which has in itself the daily needs shops,bazar with ethnic touch where the facilities of the modern world too are available to connect the incoming tourist with their home in split second.
An evening at Rishikash with prayer to Ganges is the best spiritual treat one can witness where boys and girls of tender age and devotees from all parts of the world sit down at dusk on the Ghats of Ganges in front of Grand size Lod Siva idol with river Ganges flowing from the feet of Lord Shiva gives the most delightful sight to watch.As the children wearing saffron color dress with devotees recite the Ganges Prayer along with other Prayers like Hanuman chalisa,the entire area get vibrant and tears roll down from most of the peoples standing and watching the entire prayer meet for the global peace. The Air gets filled up with compassion,love,honour for all ,peace for globe and human values open up for all.
