Walking into Padh-Yatra

Contributor: Yash Shivhare

Its just one more day and our yatra, tomorrow will take its initial shot with the first whistle of the train. A yatra, that empowered a relatively different yatra into imaginations and introspection inside me from the day it was finalized, tomorrow its going to be executed.

For me, the word 'Padh-Yatra' itself creates a sense. A journey; slow, calm and deeply meaningful that takes place on both the sides of our physical structure. Senses plays the most important role of a catalyst to make the mind and soul react with the vibratory energies of the nature. I feel, any yatra one does can be a pilgrimage if its not taking place in the either side of the body.

The vibrations of the positive energy created by the mountains and nature around is so powerful that it can totally transform a person from within or inspire him for the purpose of a lifetime. But to feel the existence and to absorb the inspiring vibrations of those energies, one really needs to keep his mind and senses activated for the whole stretch of walking distance. Otherwise, padh-yatra will no more be different from walking from a metro station to the home after a long exhausting day.
