Professionalism of Isha (Walk towards peak - 2)

At the Central Station, I identified that the platform number 11 is where TN express is supposed to be boarded....and I started walking energetically with my suitcase with rollers fitted under it.....

Pleasantly, a familiar Isha's Saffron T.Shirt strikes at my eyes at the entrance of Platform Number 11. A young Brahmachaari with clean shaven head greets me with folded hands seeing my smiling face towards him...identifying me as a part of their tour.....!! He asks me politely my name and puts a tick in his record as I have "arrived"....

Starting from this simple episode there were countless instances where the volunteers who have joined this tour have been silently adding value to the tour making our once in a life time tour really memorable...

At Badri and Kedar, there were satsanghs organised in the open terrace of the Hotel where we stayed...and with the help of a laptop and a projector, Sadhguru's lectures were played to us (He did not join this time for this tour as he is taking BSP at US) explaining the significance of the holy place and telling lot of information to make us understand aspects about our culture....and the pre requisites of this tour....Needless to say these were live recordings of the previous trip when he had physically joined the group and I never felt his absence with his voice and face in constant touch with us through these wonderful volunteers....

One of the Teacher (Swamy Uddava) lead us during this tour and he announces the plan for the next day at the dinner time....Food was organised by a contractor who starts off at the outskirts of Delhi Station on the morning we arrived New Delhi....with a breakfast....The volunteers of this tour (around a dozen Isha Brahmachaaris - predominantly) never get tired though they very much like us travel in the bus, trek and get up much earlier than us.......!! and keep helping us with room allotments, arranging horses and luggage movements, supply required information and specific medical support for the needy.....

Mind you, the tour could have cost atleast 5K lesser than the charged amount of Rs.18500 - but we had to bear the cost of these people who are travelling along with us to enjoy the majesty of Himalayas.....These people do not get any salary or perks like us and have dedicated their lives to Isha.....!! Inspite of appearing so busy with activities and working like labourers, they are capable of sitting like a rock in deep meditation ... in temples, at the Ice Rocks of Gomuk and also when ever they can squeeze some time for them - after serving us.....

None of the paid participants of the tour had any grievances on these wonderful volunteers travelling with us without spending any money.......!! Infact these brahmachaaris make the buses more lively with their nice social interactions and entertainments....Isha is an unique world and very colourful with such enthusiastic and dedicated youth who act as pillars of the solid foundation....Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev !!
