SENIOR CIVIL SERVANT SHARES HIS EXPERIENCE OF ‘KAILASH YATRA’ WITH ONLINE AUDIENCE
He further said that after visiting certain places on his route he came
to realize how much more developed India is. For instance, when he was
at the Nepal airport he was shocked to find that there was no proper
security, lights or even working fans. Everything was being done
manually including the baggage check. Even the boarding pass was
handwritten. Busting myths about Rakshastal, he said people told him
that birds do not drink water there but he found many birds in the
water. Even though Hindus do not worship Rakshastal, Buddhists, Jains
and people of the local tribal Bön religion do worship the place. He
also found many birds in Mansarovar.
“Kailash Yatra is a test
for one’s mental and physical wellness. It teaches you camaraderie and
putting your needs behind. It made me humble and taught me humility. The
physical fitness of a 'marathoner' which is of longer endurance is good
for the journey. Making sure you have no major ailments like blood
pressure, diabetes, or any cardiac issues are important. It is a journey
towards purification, socialization and knowing nature”, he said.
