It was the post which I had written some months back..I liked this post coz of residual images n memories of that place in my mind n that is y I'm reposting it....never mind if you read it earlier(some of old friends)...

Last week one of my spiritual friends took me to one ashram, near haridwar amidst rajaji national park, which I had been deferring for quite some time. Having reached near Haridwar, we had to take some other route to the jungle where ashram is located...........It was pure fun to be in the jungle….but a fear was lurking in my mind which my friend cud read easily........and he assured me that anybody with conviction in Sidd Baba cud not be harmed ever on the way to that ashram, known as Siddhi ashram, and my nerves were lit bit calmed on hearing this....

On the way we came across bunches of deer n other harmless animals...And it was so exciting to be on such a track of wild animals.....And finally when we got there, in the evening, into the mid of the jungle after an hour journey....it was enthralling ……Ashram [located on the virgin bank of ganges....]. was surrounded by a fruit-laden gardens ....a gaushala at one end...........and ..it was as if  u r away into a different world away from human dust n contamination................and life can be so simple..........and stunningly beautiful.........at nite we ate prasadam, preapred by sadhus, devotees, who live there ...

We then went to sleep on roof of the concrete structure of the ashram.............

And it was awsome…...beyond words..............star-studded sky......looked like a decorated bride, waiting for her groom.......... 
Stars were so "Bright" n so "Close" that they cud easily be touched (Believe me!) and then wild noises emanating from the adjacent jungle....and then the mellifluent sound coming from the ganges .... it seemed like a dream place............I really cud not sleep n kept thinking that nature is so charming n beautiful.

And we humans ruthlessly destroy everything without a single trace of remorse......................
And while I was keeping awake to find a glimpse of some animal (from the roof ), I cud find a deer searching for something.........in that moon-lit nite.........I was enjoying the best moments of my life......And then suddenly a shooting star entered the sky from somewhere n burnt...................Perhaps I can't express what I saw n what I experienced that nite.................but surely I would be a frequent visitor to that heaven on earth whenever my soul wants to be in the lap of nature!!!
