About Hima Yathra 2007

HH Sri Swamiji, after completing grand US trip and Canada Trip from May 15 th to June 19th 2007, came along with many devotees back to India and straight away went to Hrushikesh from where the unique "Himayathra" began. devotees came from USA to join this Yathra. About 100 members from India too joined the group. All the devotees travelled along with HH Sri Swamiji throughout the 3 legs of yathra, in a convoy of vehicles wonderfully organised by a team of devotees under the able coordination by U.Ve. Sriman Gudimella Venugopalacharya Swami.
HH Sri Swamiji took the devotees to all the important places and explained the wonderful history everywhere along with the special significance of each place and showed the Puranic evidences of our Great Vedic Land. The Spiritual Glory and the great civilization of our Vedic people reaching the exalt of human values in culmination with Divine Power has been explained to the devotees. They were amazed to know the realities and they enjoyed the privilege of belonging to such a Great Nation. The Universality of the Vedic Tradition that is still the backbone of Indian heritage and culture is wonderfully portrayed by HH Sri Swamiji at every place. At every place HH Sri Swamiji explained why the place was named so, how the names were distorted by those modernists who don't know, leave the meaning, even the proper pronunciation of the words. The greatnes of our Nation and culture in its pure form was shown by HH Sri Swamiji.

First Leg of Hima Yathra started from Hrushikesh to Badarinath and back and ended at Haridwar.
Second Leg of Hima Yathra proceeded to Naimisaranyam, Ayodhya, Gaya and Pushkar along with places on the way. Third Leg of Hima Yathra was to reach Mukthinath from Pokhran in Nepal. Some devotees came to 1st leg only and some joined in the second and some were fortunate to be in 3rd leg of Hima Yathra.

It is a wonderful Yathra and more details of the Yathra can be known from our Spiritual Monthly Bhakthinivedana (Tel / English).
