Gallery of Sadhus, Kumbha Mela (Day 9)
April 28, 2012 • Photography & Travel
It does not happen often but you’ll find from time to time young men taking to the monastic path early on in life. The world no longer holds any fascination to them and they realize the transient nature of life, thus they seek the Self. My guru says the following “The Self: you can’t explain it. You can sense its existence through the refined state of your senses, but you can’t explain it. To know it, you have to experience it. And the best you could say about it is that it is the depth of your Being, it’s the very core of you. It is you.”
This photo was taken at the Kumbha Mela festival. Join us for our grandest spiritual adventure yet, the Kumbha Mela and North India journey, in February 2013. This 13 day spiritual and photographic adventure will take you across the northern part of India visiting some amazing places including the spectacular 2013 Kumbha Mela festival in Allahabad.
