Swamiji's Visit to Himalayas, August 2009

~~OM~~

I recently returned from a short visit to the Himalayas. Joined by three dear friends, Sanjay, Sushil, and Swami Ramkripaluji, we visited several places in the Kumoan before we headed for Yamunotri and Gangotri.

We took mules into the higher mountains on the way to Gomukh. There were no bridges, so the mules had to cross the many rivers and tributaries we came upon in mid-stream.
