The rain ravage which caused havoc at Kedarnath Temple, it was a heart-wrenching sight. I am really feeling very sad for the devotees.
I could remember the beautiful lap of nature when we visited the holy adobe of God in 1995 although I was too young to light the spark of spirituality in my heart and mind but I was old enough to admire the Golden Himalayas visible from the valley of KedarNath, the lush green surrounding adorned with frozen waterfall, serene pure and fresh atmosphere. Specially the trek from Gaurikund to Kedarnath embellished with variety of plants, saplings and trees.
I remember on the way to Badrinath we visited a temple whose statue was melting slowly and the priest said the rate at which this is melting at the same rate the mountains "Nar" and "Narayan" are coming closer, the day when this will melt completely the way to Badrinath and Kedarnath dham will be closed and that day will be the starting of last phase of Kaliyug. I don't know how true that myth was but watching the news of the disaster this strory got refreshed into my mind from the treasure of memory, sadhus used to say this is Kaliyug as described in Upnishad and Purrans, the prevailing crime, corruption, lie and dishonesty proves these fable true upto some extent.
Even though the actual path to reach the temple might have disrupted, the human being will not accept this as a judgement of nature and will again build a new way to reach the devbhoomi where they would be willing to wash away all their iniquity and get cleanse from their own sin.
