I am currently travelling through the Himalayas and my friend and I stopped en route to visit a bridge over the Ganges .

A gate unlocked for us and a man asked very sweetly if we wanted to come in. We did and then he asked if we wanted to meet Maa( mother in Hindi). We were a little bemused since neither my friend and I really believe very much in organized religion. We still went and met a wonderful woman who after years of study and meditation left an abusive marriage and now transmits Vedanta knowledge from the banks of the Ganges. It was a beautifully synchronistic meeting ( she shares that she rarely meets people) and we spent an amazing morning surrounded with her pets and plants and the river. My friend remarked on how even though she had been through this route many many times before ,she had never chanced upon this Hermitage .

The Flow took us there ! Isn't it wonderful !
