#makingofayogi2017

Bow to the Earth, the great Mother Earth from where we came into which we will dissolve one day.. Having an experience of what it means to be dissolved back from where we came from. Bow to the Earth, bow to the moment, bow to the Himalayas for giving you the opportunity, bow to the teachings, bow to the Great Guru who gave the teachings, Guru Ram Das. In total reverence, in total gratitude, give all that you have back to the Existence and become empty. Allow yourself to be Shuniya, hold on to nothing. For a moment, allow the existence to take over you and let go of your smallness and this can only happen when you are in gratitude... - Yogi Amandeep #makingofayogi2017 #meditation #motherearth #fullmoon #shuniya #ladakh #himalayas #india

And the grave meditation begins, an ancient yogic tradition which hasn't been practiced in 600 years. #makingofayogi2017 #meditation #akal #mahaakal #ladakh #india #himalayas (at Ladakh, India)

We were blessed to have a fire puja last Tuesday. Eleven Tibetan monks chanted mantras for three hours in preparation for the fire offering that was led by an 81-year old Diamond master. The ceremony was dedicated to end suffering of all beings. Today we are heading to the highest saltwater lake in the world, to Pangong Lake at 14,000 ft. It's a five hour bumpy drive from Leh. We are camping there for two nights. #tibetanchantingrituals #tibetanchants #tibetanmonks #leh #ladakh #india #himalayas #makingofayogi2017 (at Ladakh Himalayan Retreat)
