Many many years ago, on this full moon day, Lord Shiva, the first Yogi of the world, decided to become a Guru. Ofcourse, it wasn't an overnight decision. While many gave up on receiving Lord Shiva's attention, seven people stood up to this mission. After 84 years of intense sadhana, the Guru took notice of them and acknowledged that they were finally ready. Thus began the transmission of Yogic science.
We celebrate this special full moon day as Guru Poornima. The chosen day when immense learning happens, if we are receptive.
This day takes me back to the moment I took this picture of the west face of Mount Kailash. It was breathtaking with a rock formation at the front, resembling Nandi - the Gate keeper of Shiva's abode, and couple of stone formations resembling the seven rishis at the extreme right corner.
While enjoying this sight, shooting a picture was the last thing on my mind. I barely managed!
