MOUNT GIRNAR
Rising out of the plains of west-central India, in the state of Gujarat, stands Mount Girnar, one of India's three most sacred mountains. Along with Mt. Kailash in the north (in Ladakh) and Arunachala in the south (in Tiruvanamalai), Mount Girnar is the ancient mountain mentioned in the Vedas as Revacek. Though it gives every appearance of being a fortress, with its massive rock face, this 4000' edifice is hollow. For within its granite outer shell is a honeycomb of caves and conference rooms where the Siddhas-those great perfected beings who guard and guide each of the spiritual traditions and paths of our planet-hold council about yoga and the future of humanity. It is possible to see into
its internal purpose, but not with external eyes. And how appropriate, for 'Bapu' has given his life to sadhana and the HARI OM TATSAT JAI GURU DATTA mahamantra, which is meant for those of all religions, indeed, for the benefit of all humanity. |
