Trip to Dharamshala

I was on a visit to Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh.
Dharamshala is the home for the Tibetian governmnet in exile. His Holiness Dalai Lama lives there. There are many monastries and you see lots of Tibetian Monks.

When you see the state of Tibetian people we realize how lucky we indians are to enjoy this freedom. To be a refugee in a distant land from home is not a very pleasant experience. The Tibetian people are suffering profoundly due to chinese occupation. We indians take our freedom for granted.


Near to Dharamshala is the the Samadhi of Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda at Sidhbari Village.

Staying in the Sandeepany Ashram at Sidhbari was a wonderful experience. The ashram is located in the foothills of the majestic Dhauladhar ranges of the Himalayas in the beautiful Kangra valley.
