Clear From The Ganges- Haridwar
In his song "Save Love" from Daniel Balavoine on the Ganges erase his pain
. He took the opportunity to "talk to an angel gently to the final save love, and find the taste of life, one that will replace the need of envy."
We also went on the Ganges, we wanted to make this unique experience in India see the sacred river and purify it.
We went to Haridwar, the sacred city of Hinduism where ceremonies take huge bathroom in the Ganges, Benares as. City where the river leaves legend officially meandering through the Himalayas to the plains of northern India, Haridwar is much less known as Benares. But it is much more suited to children because people do not die and the Ganges is much cleaner: water is not black but pollution a beautiful blue light, and there is no corpses floating half decomposed, which is essential when you want to clean ... Just beside Haridwar, Rishikesh ago, the world capital of Yoga. It was therefore decided, we leave for Haridwar and Rishikesh for what will be the most spiritual step of our year.
So what have we erased in the Ganges? We talked to a gentle angel? We found the taste of life and replaced the need for envy?
Haridwar is a major city in the Indian standards, only 310 000 inhabitants. But this is an important city, one of the seven sacred cities of India. According to legend, she was one of four places where the celestial bird, Garuda, brought down drops of the elixir of immortality. Pilgrims flock there so, especially every 12 years, when the Kumbha Mela, the most populous religious festivals of the world, is at Haridwar. In 45 days is 70 MILLION people! marching to Haridwar to erase their sins in the Ganges.
We went to a calmer and it is really worth. Aarti ceremony takes place every evening at sunset and attracts thousands of people along the river, in the Ghats (the landscaped areas to bathe in safety). We made the walk through the narrow streets of Haridwar which are in fact a huge market where shops mingle secular and religious. It leaves her shoes at the door and try to find a good spot on the river terraces. Then you have to buy a Diya is a small lamp with a wick that is placed as an offering on a sheet with flowers and float on the river. It's pretty simple to do because you sold in the "pack". There's lamp, leaves, matches, incense stick, the perfect kit pilgrim rush.
Once equipped, we try to make their way to the river's edge and wait until the show begins. Music announces the start of the ceremony, songs follow. Then men, probably religious, become the center of attention. They light great torches and begin the incantations and prayers.
Then people turn their Diya, will bathe in the Ganges, the river clean, cool and very fast. On the steps, we must be very careful not to slip because the current is strong and I wonder if the fact of falling water will not be interpreted by people as a sign that drown in the Ganges is so great honor it is important not to thwart!
It is up to us to turn our Diya. Heloise sets foot in the water, and floated along the stream starts. Our offering is fast disappearing river taking with her our best wishes. The ceremony ends.
The Haridwar city impress me a lot after that we have gone to delhi to take our flight back to our home.
