I was standing at a place where on one side there was the beauty of the mountains and on the other side there was the powerful energy of God,I have never felt so much peace in my life as I did after coming to this place. I am leaving from here but I will always keep the memories of this place in my heart, it is hardest goodbye,I don't know when life will give me a chance to come here again but I will try to come here every year.
I was going back after spending 3-4 hours in the beautiful valley of Kedarnath, when I thought, why are people going on the road behind the temple? I did not ask anyone anything and started going through the back path alone. where i seen amazing statue of Adi Shankaracharya, i have also see many reels of Kedarnath and youtube videos but I had never heard about this place anywhere.
The current shrine of Kedarnath is said to have been built by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century AD. He played an important role in reviving Hinduism after centuries of Muslim rule in India,
the statue of Great Adi Guru Shankaracharya Lying slightly behind the Kedarnath Temple is the grave of him.
The statue was installed in the year 2007 by the Adishankara Mission trust in the Center of Round area with zig zag cuts to make it more attractive to visitors, the idol is made up of black granite and stands at 12 feet, which is really fascinating. The statue depicts Adi Shankar Acharya meditatively, with his right hand in the Abhaya mudra (a gesture of fearlessness) and his left hand resting on his thigh, worw the Rudraksh Mala which symbolises his trust and role to the god, wore only shawl in the extreme cold, His eyes are close to concentration, and he has a serene expression.
It was foggy weather, it was extremely cold, I tried to click a clear picture of his Face but it did not happen because of Fog, As I was getting late because I had to trek again at 22 km to come down,I had to do this journey on foot as i don't want to complete my journey by hurting pithu men or Mule.
I was feeling very sad to say goodbye to this place and Lord Shiva and there were tears in my eyes wondering when God would call me again. Truly, this place is a heaven, you will have to endure a lot of troubles to come here but as soon as you reach this place, all your troubles, pain and suffering will vanish. I am not going from here empty handed. I am leaving with lots of blessings from God and beautiful memories in my mind, the moment cherished life time.
