Compared to last yatra this time it was altogether a very different experience and we were lucky to be on the shores of Manasarovar on two nights around full moon time. The beauty of which we enjoyed. When we reached Zaidi where Chiu Gompa is situated on the cliff of a hillock , I noticed this time the number of Guest houses were around 20, last time it was only four, apart from that there were lot of yatris who were staying in their own tents. One thing is for sure definitely the no of pligrims taking up this yatra is progressing year after year. Here we were accommodated in a typical mud guest house just at the foot of the Chiu Gompa. The lake was flooded with birds of all types and we enjoyed their antics also.
We enjoyed the beauty of the rising full moon and really felt blessed as the sky was clear and enjoyed in full. The environment here is unpolluted and we could see we enjoyed he full moon accompanied with lakhs of shining stars the ambiance was ethereal. As it is customary to chant Lalitha Sahasranama ( One Thousand names of Mother Parvati) on a full moon night, we chanted the same with devotion and prayed to Mother Parvati the daughter of Himalayan mountain that She should grant Her darshan at Dolma.
In the guest house also solar panels are installed and there is charging facility also for charging the cameras and mobile phones, we noticed that the Tibetan's were also using mobile phone this is a definite improvement. Noticed that a new board has been installed on the shores of the lake explaining the significance of the lake and we gathered a new point that the ashed of Mahatma Gandhi the father of our nation were also immersed in this lake.
