In the morning, we started the long drive towards Kedarnath. The
devotees chanted Vishnusahasranaam and sang some bhajans in the van.
On the way, the spring in the van got broken and we had to spend a
few hours at Barkot to get it repaired.
We had a nice satsangh while waiting for the van to get repaired.
Gopiji told us about the plans of the purohit, who did puja in
Reddyji's house. The purohit wanted to start a Veda Patashala, but
his plans did not materialize fully. He had spend lakhs of rupees
on it. With Gopiji's support, they are planning to revive it. We
also had various discussions on spiritual life.
When the van got fixed, we continued our journey.
On the way we had a view of the huge Tehri dam.
We reached Shrinagar (Uttaranchal) by night fall. We stayed there
in the night. As this falls on the way to Hemakund Sahib, there
were a lot of Sikh pilgrims in Shrinagar and on the roads.
