The Mystic

avatar

I had been to the Kumbh Mela on September of 2015. If your not sure what Kumbh Mela, It is a Huge Religious gathering of the Hindus that happens once in four years along the banks of River Ganges in one of the four sacred cities namely Haridwar, Nasik, Allahabad and Ujjain. So during the gathering Millions of Hindus from all over the country, come to this sacred points of the River Ganges and River Bathe to wash away their sins and get purified.

I was one among those Millions there to do the same. I saw this Monk or Sadhu on My way back to the Hotel after I finished My Sacred River Bath, He was quite, sitting by the bank of the river, Smiling at the passerby . I felt he resembled christ or Sadhguru in some ways. He dint seem very rich, but he seemed more blissful than the rest of around which is a rare state to be in this modern world.To me it seemed like he had his life all sorted and smiling at the rest of us for not doing that yet. Whatever it maybe, he surely looked like a Mystic.

Lovely picture - goes without saying.

And good analysis on his thoughts. Love this:

That is a very nice photo ... And I can see why you made a picture of him. He does look like a Mystic.

Hi @backpackingmonk. This is a lovely photograph and interesting information about India. Was this post intended to be placed in the post promo room for your Rally group to be credited for your work in the Redfish Rally this month? If so, the minimum word count for your group is 250. Only 9 word to go.

I see that @yessgutierrez curated your post for the Weekly Rally assignment. Did you intend to participate in the Weekly Challenge also for the Curation of one of your fellow Ralliers? Today is the deadline.

Sorry I had initially commented from my alt account.

Thanks for the compliment :smile:

No, I'll be just heading to bed in a hour.
Don't think I'll be able to make one after I wake up.
Thanks for asking though.

I don't think so.
Can you remove my name from this contest?
I actually thought it was place to promote your post(for under 100 hive users) when i signed up!

It is place to promote your posts. However, you placed an emoji in the Rally Waiting Room. I was our understanding that you wanted to join the Redfish Rally for June to help you grow your account.

As a member of the Terminal, you are free to place links to your post in the #post-promo-redfish room there; however, you must support another redfish before you are able to do so. Those are Terminal rules. They are in the #announcements room for all to see.

Thanks for letting me know. I will remove your name from the Rally.
