India, Foothills of the Himalayas, First part
Spiritual journey in North India, in the eighties, looking for Advaita vada
Almora 1
I invite you at Almora, in the footsteps of Adi Shankara.
Almora 2
Charming village in the foothills of the Himalayas,
Almora 3
Almora is at the crossroads of many ancient pilgrimages:
Almora 4
We will follow one together, in a minute.
Almora 5
In fact, all this journey is a pilgrimage,
Almora 6
A return to spiritual sources,
Almora 7
Those of Advaita Vadanta.
Almora 8
We will contemplate its wonders,
Almora 9
Even at the monsoon !
Nuages 1
Let us begin with clouds:
Nuages 3
Will receive the crown
Nuages 4
And our neck the scarf!
Nuages 5
Let us be overcome by this sea
Nuages 6
Who submerges our mind.
Nuages 7
Above all, let's avoid the drug trap:
Nuages 8
Artificial paradises are hell!
Nuages 9
They destroy our spiritual energy
Nuages 10
And make us slaves ...
Nuages 11
Let's follow Master Shankara,
Nuages 12
And learn mastering the mental tiger.
Sat Tal 1
Then take the pilgrim's staff;
Sat Tal 2
The road leads us to Sat Tal:
Sat Tal 3
Seven emerald lakes encased in greenery
Sat Tal 4
Seven wonders to contemplate
Sat Tal 5
To forget the world
Sat Tal 6
And prepare ourselves for the aim of the pilgrimage.
Sat Tal 10
But already, we have to go ahead,
Sat Tal 11
To dive back into life
Sat Tal 12
And take the road again ...
Jageshwar 1
And here we are
Jageshwar 2
At the Jageshwar temples
Jageshwar 3
124 wonders from the 7th to the 12th centuries!
Jageshwar 4
Here we are at the goal of this pilgrimage:
Jageshwar 5
Let's go into Shiva's house,
Jageshwar 6
He has been waiting for us for millennia.
Jageshwar 7
And He prepared the doors
Jageshwar 8
That we must pass one by one
Jageshwar 9
To reach Moksha, Deliverance.
Jageshwar 10
These doors are those of Knowing
Jageshwar 11
And every one can not cross them:
Jageshwar 12
Some will remain closed forever
Jageshwar 13
For those who do not have the key
Jageshwar 14
Gived by Adi Shankara:
Jageshwar 16
Between jivâtma and Âtma.
