Mystical Trails of Kasar Devi 

Very next morning I was able to feel the cool breeze touching my face , and a splendid treat to my eyes.

I was heading towards Almora a place somewhat about 60 odd kms from Naintal and was ready to get surprised enough with my twisting bike rides. I stood lucky to experience the beautiful and extraordinary morning which brought hope and determination in my life.

But I was destined to that one place which lead me to come this far to experience the magnificent nature of this mystic temple Kasar Devi

This place has its distinct historical, spiritual, cultural and scientific aura. Almora gave me a sacred and meditative feeling which helped me to trek to Kesar devi and shiva temple. One thing that I cherished in my heart is the peace and the bond I celebrated with the nature. The bond was so strong it almost made me forget about the running time. I spend quite good amount of time at Kasar devi temple wandering around enjoying the view and exploring more of this mysterious hill top temple.

Kasar devi is not normal devi temple the place has a scientific touch to it.

From Swami Vivekananda to Timothy Leary and Bob Dylan, Kasar Devi’s roster of stars and their goings-on was the stuff of legend. A band of hippies populated this tiny ridge during the 1960s. Among them was psychologist Timothy Leary who was fired from Harvard University for advocating the use of psychedelic drugs. President Richard Nixon called him the “most dangerous man in America.” While Leary is most famous for his experiments with LSD and the catchphrase “turn on, tune in, drop out,” he was also a believer in the theory that gaps in the bands of radiation that surround the earth (called the Van Allen Belt) endow certain spots such as Machu Picchu and Stonehenge with a special cosmic energy. He believed Kasar Devi was one such place.

The places was combined in a strange way that one would not really expect ,I felt that this really is a place with magnetism strong enough to attract wandering souls.

My senses agreed to the mystery of Kesar devi as I could felt the difference when reached to the hill top. Its believed that you can feel the 'right' when your heart and mind nods a yes together for that. It worked out for me in a same manner and the difference was so strong that I couldn't collect myself together.

I still felt that a part of me is left back and waiting somewhere for something in that hills and I will always be drawn back to find the missing piece.

The End
