Our Eyes Beheld the HIMALAYAS!

Many of the students and the teachers had a truly sacred moment this evening: we beheld, with our very eyes, the Himalayan mountain range! It is a very rare occurrence to see these beauties in the summer, given the monsoon clouds and fog. The three peeks you are observing here constitute the Trishul -- the three points of Shiva's triton one will customarily see with the deity in Hindu iconography. In the center, Nanda Devi, is the 7th tallest peek in the world.



This is the view off our homestay porches, incidentally -- priceless.

I will never forget, as long as I live, tearing up at the glorious vista pictured with Rachel, Meena, and Pinky (homestay sister). We shared this transcendent experience together! 

Just wanted to share the <3
