Pradakshina, V - end of tour

[Guest guest]

om namo bhagavate sri ramanaya

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

We should now finish our pradakshina - it has us taken quite a long time.

This is the last photo I can share from pradakshina - it is Bhagavan's Bridge -

in darkness already.

We will come through several villages and later through town,

where it is very busy. As night has set in we will find people sleeping

outside on the varandahs of their houses.

We will pass the big Temple and complete our round at Ramanashram, where we have started

from - with a bow to Bhagavan's Samadhi and the Hill.

 

Here our visual journey finds an end and Gabriele says bye with the last photo,

where you can see her

together with the stone-cavers's son, one of those who earns his lifelyhood at Arunachala

which some stone-carving of statues of Gods and Arunachala-ornaments etc.

Trust you did find some joy in the tour. It is also found in several parts in the

files-section as pdf-document.

Possibly one day you can also do the journey physically, though at last this all

is an inner journey only,

and what happens there can also happen here. Arunachala is within.

 

If now looking back at the journey to India, which now is nearly half a year back -

it is still much vivid in mind - and the journey not yet completed inwardly.

Surely, if once there physically, lots is coming in movement. When I came there someone said:

"The country and Aruanchala changes everyone." Indeed ... Sometimes it is also felt much

painful and hard though - but surely necessary and very blessed at last.

 

A last impression which lives still in memory and which I want to share here

is a small incident at the airport of Chennai before departure.

Chennai airport is interesting to see: when one enters the "India part" before

the check-in it is all very simple - then

later one comes to the air-conditioned part for departure, which is in Western standard and much

comfortable. So here one sees the enter in another "world" already - in one building.

When entering a toilet in the "Indian part" a woman was sitting on the floor who had the duty to

keep the toilets clean. I looked at her - she was so much depressed - such

sadness in the face. I gave her

some rupees as no one was round - so this could be done (otherwise it is always difficult to do) -

and somehow her face lighted up so much, as she expected nothing, possibly not

even from life anymore.

I felt her sadness and helplessness as my own, and also the quick uplift of her

joy as my own -

and this was the very last impression from India.
