Sai Pallavi spiritual experience on pilgrimage to holy Amarnath Cave !
By Rinku Gupta
Actor Sai Pallavi is on a high. She has just had a wonderful spiritual journey to the holy Amarnath Cave of Lord Shiva, in the holy Himalayas.
Sharing the experience on the pilgrimage which she undertook with her parents, she said on her social media page,
"I'm one who never likes to share very
personal thoughts but I'd like to write
about this pilgrimage that I've been
wanting to make for a long time now.
Taking parents who're almost 60 is
emotionally testing in ways one cannot
explain. Watching them gasp for breath
and hold their chest, take breaks at
slippery paths amidst snow made me
question the lord almighty, why you so
far?"
But she got her answer when she beheld a wonderful sight, "And I got my answer when
I walked back after the darshan.
As I walked down the hill, I witnessed
something overwhelming: When people
notice a few yatris on the verge of giving
up, they take a long breath and chant "Om
Namah Shivaya", and instantly the same
yatris chant back and pick themselves up
to continue.
Horses and the villagers carry the yatris
to fulfil their desire of worshipping Bhole
Nath at the holy cave
My pranams to everyone in Shri Amarnath
Ji Shrine Board who make this journey
memorable for millions of devotees like
Us!"
She also thanked the armed forces and noted the changes within her after the holy pilgrimage,
"And finally the personnel from the Army/
CRPF/Police for their selfless acts of
service, sacrifice and sense of duty by
protecting us at ALL times
This place is powerful because it stands
witness to the acts of such selfless
service. Regardless of our wealth, beauty
and power, it's one's healthy body, strong
mind and a heart that helps others, is
what's going to make our journey on earth
worth living. Amarnath yatra challenged my
will power, tested my body and proved to me
that this Life itself is a pilgrimage and we are
a dead race if we are not there for each
other!
And my heartfelt thanks to a few ppl who
made this whole trip to the #amarnath
holy cave possible."
