We visited the place where some of the Sankaracharyas had done
a lot of Tapas. Then we visited the temple where Sankara was
saved by his disciple from death at the hands of a Kapalika.
We had breakfast and started towards the last of the Chaar
Dhaams - Sri Badrinathji.
We reached Badrinath before noon. We took accomodation at the
Annadaana Chatram of Sri Chinna Jeeyar. We went to see the temple.
We wanted to take bath in the hot spring before lunch. As they
were cleaning the tank, we just wetted our mortal frames and
had prasad at the Chatram where we were staying.
We had darshan of Sri Badrinathji. It is a staggering feeling
to even think that Lord Narayana is doing Tapas in this place.
We came back to the Chartam in the evening. At 6pm, the
volunteers managing the Chatram chanted Vishnusahasranaam
and did puja to Sriman Narayana in the small temple in the
Chatram. It was a small devoted gathering.
