The schedule here has been quite demanding and the weather hot and sticky. However we had a reprieve late yesterday afternoon and evening with lots of thunder, lightening and rain. Fortunately the rain didn’t interfere with our activities.
To be in the place of our Guruji’s birthplace and to be practicing such an auspicious and ancient YOG is quite an honor.
Here are some photos of the campus grounds (more of these to come).
Preparation for pitru paksha ritual
The biggest highlight of this leg of the trip was the pitru paksha ritual, which is done every year on the last day of pitru paksha.
We were required to bring and wear sarees (pronounced “sorry”) to the ritual.
This has been a true bonding experience. There’s more to the saree story and ritual that I’ll save for an upcoming blog post.
Stay tuned for more from Bellur.
Blogged from Bellur with love.
Thanks so much Chere for your wonderful pictures and insights into your time so far in Bellur. Thinking of you on your journey.
