Haridwar. Place of worship Shiva, holy figure lHindouisme, has escaped a few drops of nectar to make his mark coronation. Every evening at sunset, millions of pilgrims gather to sy purify themselves in the waters of the Ganges. As we are relatively close to its source, a few miles south of Himalaya glaciers, the sacred river is almost transparent.
Everyone leaves drift from the dun constituted an offering bouquet of flower petals quil lighter in its center. He recited a prayer and looked at his gift is lost in the furious waters of the Ganges. Furious because he ballast! The Indians have every incentive to be held near the banks not to be foolishly carried away. With this current rage, no doubt that all sins are washed.
It isn't only the sins that are, the finances of pilgrims too. In this sacred place of prayer and good conscience, we must pay for the offerings to Shiva, pay for a Gadget leffigie their gods, pay donations to the Police Shiva (???), proclaimed, pay, pay and pay again yet in honor of their sacred sainte figure...
Mais cest avec devotion et satisfaction que les pelerins sortent leur portefeuille. Ce pelerinage annuel fut en quelque sorte notre bapteme de lHindouisme.
Pendant que les Indiens se baignent dans leur Gange, nous prenons un bain de foule gigantesque. Mais cest un peu satures des bousculades, des mains tendues vers nous et de la dangereuse circulation que nous empruntons maintenant le chemin des montagnes... Direction Mussoorie a 2000 metres daltitude dici.
Notez que apres cette experience sainte, Julie comprend quil est temps de se vetir a lindienne question de passer davantage inapercu.
