A Small Slice of Athens

By

The view of Athens from here is quite splendid. An immediate circle of red-tiled roofs gives way to more modern structures spread all around. Mt. Lycabettus sticks out of this jumble glowing under a slant of sunlight that has lanced through a cloudy sky.

Kushinagar – Where Buddha breathed last

By

The actual cremation ground is a bit away and I didn’t go there this time. The area has lots of temples built by many countries which practice Buddhism. There are good hotels as well, including Taj and I clearly remember that there were internet kiosks five year back.

A Tryst with Himachal !

By

From Naggar, one can hire bike and go around places, do hiking and on the way visit the famous Roerich Art Gallery. We kept climbing uphill for over an hour only to find ourselves in the middle of an apple orchard. We sat there for a long time plucking and eating fresh apples and berries form the trees while soaking into the amazing view and the silence all around. Coming close to nature has become a luxury for city dwellers.

By

माता के जिस स्वरूप की हम बात कर रहे है उसका थोड़ा व्याख्यान करना तो बनता है। तो प्रिय पाठकों माँ चंडी देवी का मंदिर नील पर्वत पर स्थित एक सिद्ध पीठ के रूप में प्रसिद्ध है। कहा जाता है की आठवीं शताब्दी में प्रसिद्ध हिन्दू धर्म गुरु आदि शंकराचार्य द्वारा माता की मूर्ति की स्थापना यहाँ पर की गयी थी। इस स्थान से जुडी एक पौराणिक कथा यह है की शुम्भ-निशुम्भ नामक राक्षसों, जिन्होंने इंद्रा का साम्राजय अपने अधिपत्य में ले लिया था, का वध करने के बाद माता चंडी देवी, जिनकी उत्पत्ति देवी पारवती के अंश से हुयी थी, यहाँ पर कुछ समय के लिए विश्राम करने हेतु रुकी थी।

When king Chandraketu was ruling the kingdom, a Pir named Gorachand arrived from Arab and tried to convince the king to convert his religion to Islam. During that time, he showed several magical tricks. One of the tricks was that he bloomed Champa flower during off season on the Bera (fence). From that time, the place is called Berachampa.

Walking Tour of Isle of Arran, Scotland

By

Presence of the Gulf Stream in this bay area lent a very diverse element to the foliage, extremely distinct from the other coastal regions of the British Isles.
This is the little mountain that we climbed…not exactly the steep climb but we hiked all around it to reach the other side.

शिंगणापुर यात्रा – जहाँ शनि देव विराजते हैं

By

आपको फिर बताना चाहूंगा की साई आश्रम में दर्शन की बायोमेट्रिक सिस्टम है जो में स्तिथ है और रिसेप्शन से सुविधा मिल जाती है ताकि अगर आपने ऑनलाइन पर्ची नहीं ली तो आप आश्रम में ही बॉयोमीट्रिक्स करवा के शाम या सुबह की मंदिर प्रवेश की पर्ची प्राप्त कर सकते हैं । इससे यह सुविधा मिलती है की आपको फिर मंदिर के गेट १ & २ के सामने लाइन से पर्ची लेने में जो समय लगेगा वह समय बच जायेगा और एक बार प्रसादालय से प्रसाद ज़रूर पाए, यह एक डिवाइन अनुभव होगा ।
