Pilgrimage to Muktinath, 3,710 meters above sea level (Album 150 photos)
→ Dandavats.com

Indradyumna Swami: Yesterday we made one last pilgrimage to Muktinath, 3,710 meters above sea level at the foot of the Thorong La mountain pass. The air was so thin that we had to stop and catch our breath every few meters. There we had darshan of a lamp that Lord Brahma offered to Krsna at the beginning of creation. Miraculously the flame is still burning. Then we paid our obeisances to the deity of Lord Narayana, established by Sri Ramanujacarya over 1,000 years ago. I prayed to Lord Narayana to grant my dear godbrother, Bimal Prasad das, entrance into the spiritual world where he could serve the Lord to his heart’s content. We then began the long trip down through the mountains to Kathmandu and on to India. Read more ›
