Girnar, sits a piece of heaven that must have drifted from the kingdom of God. This mountain has always been known for its magnificent sculptures, architecture, beautiful lakes and wild creatures. It's all that we have expected before the start of S.M.J.C.K.R. (Shree Mahaveer Jain Charitra Kalyan, Ratnashram, Songadh) journey to Girnar.
When other are asleep we started our journey at 4 o'clock and reached there as we expected. Being hectic schedule we passed our first day by seeing many historical places like,
'Ashok Shilalekh'(Edicts of Ashoka),
Uparkot Fort: We were delighted when we saw the monuments around the fort. It was an astonishing work built in ancient time. We were amazed by the work of bricklayers who had built the fort.
Sakkarbag Zoological Garden :
White Tiger
Asiatic lion
'Beauty is seen
In the sunlight
The trees, the birds...'
-E-Yeh-Shure-
The next morning,
The climb to the Dattatreya Hill made us so freak that we couldn't stop to go into a panoramic view of the entire misty landscape of Girnar.
We were at our destination to climb the mountain and we started early at 4.00 o'clock. But, we were what being watched by wild creatures.
We were not alone. Ultimately, we got the company of birds, bees and butterflies over there. Squirrels, langurs and snakes kept a watchful eye from the trees. We do, however, prefer to step aside for langurs. We were amazed by what we saw around the hills.
Girnar is considered to be the sacred mountain for Jain as well as Hindu devotees. It is nirvan Bhumi of 22nd Tirthankara, Lord Neminatha. There is a sense of stillness you can feel while you visit this temple. There are no crowds and this is a haven of quietness in the busy lives of ours.
Girnar is vivid, mercenary, religious land for all who want to climb it once in their life.
As per as we began to walk across the forest very quickly even faster, thinking of to end the journey. But, suddenly we stopped walking. What was that sound we heard ? Could it possibly be rushing water? We couldn't imagine that the rushing stream was very close to us and it was enchanting beauty of Gir Forest.
We saw a beautiful little water behind a rock. Kneeling at a place where the water flowed quietly, and we took water in our hands and put it to lips. It was an amazing moment for us. We had a good time there.
I must say it was one of the memorable memory, journey, time, event, trip and everything that will be forever in my life.
What I have, I don't know but I what I have Archived can't be vanished from the distance sole of my Heart. From the bottom of my heart thanks guys for being with me and made that moment forever.
