MEMORYLANE 2019 | KAILASH NORTH FACE EXPEDITION | JOURNEY TO ETERNITY

"I am not this body. I am a divine spark of the Paramatma. I have returned to the Source." In 2014, I came to see a mountain. In 2019, I realized I had come to see the Source of everything. Standing upon the firm glaciers of the Great North Face, I felt the gates of Gnana Gunj—the frozen library of the ages—swing open. Beneath the ancient ice, I heard the muffled roar of hidden streams, the very heartbeat of the universe. In this sacred silence, the true meaning of the Trishul was revealed to me: it is the Inner Trimurti within us all. Brahma is our Thought. Vishnu is our Action. Mahesh is the Result. Vedic scriptures tell us the world began with the Breath of Shiva—the Adi Pranavanaada (AUM). This breath is the origin of life and the foundation of Yoga. From His Damru, the Varnamala (the cosmic alphabet) was born, giving us the sounds of the Vedas and Puranas. As I stood at the base, the distinction between the seeker and the sought vanished. I realized that the knowledge we seek, the life we lead, and the karma we do are all rivers flowing back to the same eternal ocean. I have returned to the Source. I am the mountain. I am the sky. I am He.
