My Indian Himalayas.
In 2000, I travelled all alone along the legendary pilgrimage route of the seekers of Enlightenment, which stretches from Europe to Istanbul and then by bus through Iran and Pakistan to India. I visited the high Himalayas above Gangotri. I made a pilgrimage to the source of the Ganges 300 km deep in the interior of the Indian Himalayas. It was truly a mystical Himalayan initiation. Then, because of the harsh high mountain climate, I descended to the foothills of the Himalayas for 5 months to meditate and perform my spiritual sadhana under an overhang of limestone rock above Rishikesh, which is considered the spiritual centre of all seekers of Enlightenment. However, for reasons unknown, I did not mingle much with the Indian population, I just gave them financial donations on the holy banks of the Ganges. Under the rock overhang, however, I was visited by Himalayan yogis for whom I brewed tea. I met a swami in Rishikesh who was clairvoyant and he offered me a free stay in his Kriya Ashram. But I refused, because I already had my Master Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda at that time. I have only the best memories of the Himalayas and would love to go back again. I plan to make a new pilgrimage back to the source of the Ganges above Gangotri. After returning from India, I settled in the Czech Republic, because it is enough for me to live as a simple hermit in a hermitage or in a meditation cave in the Moravian Karst.
