One of our day trips will be to Dev Prayag, the sacred confluence of the two rivers, the Bhagirathi. which emerges from Gaumukh, and the Alakananda (from Satopanth). These two rivers merge to form the Ganga. It is a spectacular sight-- the emerald green waters of the Alakanada and the white foamy brown waters of the Bhagirathi, merging into the beautiful blue of the Ganga.
Dev Prayag
When in Rishikesh and the surrounding foothills of the Himalayas, it is amazing to realize that you are in the presence of the sages, who are always around. Though they are not always seen with the eyes, the energy of their tapas (spiritual practices) and meditation can be felt... And the energies of the hearts can meet, for there are no separations in the cave of the heart.
Meditate in this atmosphere, take rest in the land where the sages walk and bask in the energy of thousands of years of spiritual practice. Allow it to transform you. That is the power of India.
