Spiritual nature experience at Vashishta Gufa

Namaste Steemers,

today I want to share some photographs with you that I took at Vashishta Gufa, one holy place close to Rishikesh, India. I am grateful that I had the chance to go there and I want to give thanks to my yoga school Shiva Yoga Peeth and my teachers who took me there.

This is me sitting next to the holy mother ganga. I really experienced a deep relationship with this river during the month I stayed in Rishikesh. Later in my journey I went to Kheer Ganga and saw the origin of this sacred waters. I will tell you about that adventure in another story.

When @sature and I had little walk around the scenery we met this little fellow. We noticed him hiding in between some leaves and branches but when we had our cameras ready he climbed up a little stone wall to enjoy the sun and showing his beautiful colours to us.

We were very touched by the trust he gave us when he let us take this close-up pictures. It felt like he was enjoying the attention he got from us and proudly presenting his beauty.

Hari Om! Then We went into the cave for meditation. Since it was such a lot of people in the small cave I was happy to leave. Also I was curious what kind of animals and plants were living at such a beautiful, sacred place.

It was time for asana practice accompanied by lovely cows. I took this picture from here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10208756199092309&set=a.1771900187274.165120.1532363912&type=3&theater

I watched several monkeys climbing down the branch and jumping on the rooftop of the ashram next to Vashishta Gufa and decided to wait to for another one to take this picture. Every monkey has his own technique how to jump but it is also visible that they learn from each other.

The rain created fascinating patterns on the stones next to the shore of mother ganga. This little refreshment was a blessing to all plants, animals and people at this day.

Lots of Love and Light to all of you <3
