A common find in most of the Buddhist lands…the power of the Prayer Wheels still remains undiscovered by many, and a growing fascination to my eager mind. ReferredĀ Ā in various texts as a tool to ‘accumulate wisdom and merit, and to purifyĀ negativeness’…the beautifully laid spindles acrossĀ McLeodganj are the heart and soul of the place and the people…
‘OM MANI PADME HUM’… A chant most commonly found written, being recited and engraved on walls and stones in every single corner of the place, inĀ Tibetan Buddhism, itĀ is considered as the most common prayer, theĀ mantra of Chenrezi, the Buddha of compassion. Be it spinning the written form or viewing it everywhere, the mantra is said to have the same effect, meant for people to see it and invoke the blessings of the lord…
Capture it in your mind, in your words and in your camera’s… The beauty of these chants, and the peace that lies behind them, is far beyond theĀ ordinary, that imparts aĀ mesmerizingĀ soul toĀ McLeodganj….
Your pictures make me want to go there soon. Haven’t been there. Such exotic location it is!
It Indeed is! Just a bus away from Delhi. And you can drive down too on a long weekend. Where do you stay?
Oh I live in Mumbai. Do you think if I was living in north India, I would have left this place unexplored? š
Looks like you haven’t checked my blog. š
