Guru Smaran Saptah

Day 3: 5th May 2021 (Wednesday)

Sevika: Abha Shroff

Attendees: 8

We discussed our reflections on the book “My Trek To Uttarakhand” after chanting the Guru Stotram.

What the class members decided to imbibe in themselves after the reflections were

• Respect for nature and doing all we can to preserve its sanctity

• Hardships come on our path and we have to overcome them

• Embark on our internal journey with faith and determination

• Acceptance of situations when we are pushed out of our comfort zone

• See HIS Glory in nature around us

• Aim of a pilgrimage is to be with yourself

• Titiksha

• Love for the nation

• To be able to sit by yourself

• Not have any complaints

• Not to judge any one

• Positive aspects of pain and solitude

• Develop an eye for detail

• Resilience in Adversity

At the end of the session each and everyone wanted to experience the bliss of the Himalayas. But were apprehensive if they could undertake a trek at their age!! So it was decided that we would visit Uttarkashi as a group next year!

The book ends abruptly and the last line is – “One is left wondering what happened to HIS poor feet…..”

We ended the session with a ‘darshan of HIS Feet’. Sharing it with you all. Hari Om!
