India Tour..Awakening India!
..1947, Independent India, proud in its freedom and poignant in its regret to avoid the partition of its sacred soil, as India and Pakistan. Although not married in thought and pursuit, there were many who shared this vision of freedom with the 'Mahatma'! Young India, yesterday and today, is nourished with the ambivalent patriotism of Martyr Bhagat Singh and Netaji Subash Chandra Bose, along with the stoic faith of Gandhi's 'Non-Violence'.

..An American friend, frequent traveller to India at his most pensive once told me, an India Tour could break into your reverie like the first rush of spring flowers, provocative in their growth and alluring in their bloom..Almost like a woman in embrace, seductive in her beauty and elusive in her enfolding mystery !
Did not the warmth of a welcome 'tika' stay with you..The soul will be in query with itself ! What caressed your senses more, the autumn hues of a Himalayan sunset or wet Earth breaking under your feet, on a virgin beach ! What questioned your faith more, the Mother Goddess, as 'Durga' blessing the Universe or, 'Kali' in her destructive wrath ! What held more promise, the Moon God of 'Karva-Chauth', showering Love on a Beloved or the Sacred Moon of EID , blessing all with Peace and Harmony.
Where did you find yourself..in the half forgotten slumber of the dark alleys of human strife, or in the dreams which arose from them!
India Guide..India Tour,India ..as old as tradition itself !!"
India Tour..A Personal Journey!
...There is much to understand, in what cannot be seen..much to hear in that what is not said ! The mind is clever but the heart is wiser..you will wonder what was more ancient, the history of Forts and Palaces or the sacred Ganges flowing from the Himalayas.. Who was more wise, the ancient 'sadhus' on the river ghats or the little girl, who told you the secret of sweet mangoes visited by the Indian 'koel'?..
..what was more soul touching, the eternal love at the Taj Mahal or the divine embrace of 'kama sutra', which could ignite passion on dead stone ! What was more alluring, a luscious India draped in the folds of a 'saree' or the sun rays falling on vermilion hued raven hair !
You will no doubt be impressed by the opulent wealth ofIndia, but I strongly suspect, will remember it more, for the dew-drops of hope, you saw in tears of despair. Like a never ending journey, much ofIndia will stay after it has gone.. !!

India Guide..India Tour, India.." History as old as birth itself !"
" India Tour, History !"
About 190 million years ago, India formed an integral part of the super Continent called 'Gondwana'. At the end of the Paleozoic Era, this continent was broken and parts of it drifted in different directions. As late as 75 million years ago, India sailed North East from the Antartica and then North for 5,000 Kms. About 45 million years ago, India collided with the continent of Asia and some sediments of it became the high Himalayan mountains.
The mighty River Sindhu rises in the high Himalayas, flows down into the Arabian Sea on the North East coast of this continent. From the word 'Sindhu', evolvedIndia, Hindu, Hindi and Hindustani. In the beginning, the 'Aryan' colonial settlement was confined to the region of River Sindhu and Saraswati. There were many famous Aryan Heroes and Kings, belonging to the 'Kshatriya' class.
Between 600 BC and 100 AD, the mighty kingdom of 'Magadha' formed the center of political history. Under King 'Ashoka' the grandson of Chandragupta Maurya, a unified India came into being. The rise of the Gupta Empire in the North, was contemporaneous with that of the 'Pallava' Dynasty in the South. In 647 AD, after the death of King Harshavardhana, Mahmud of Ghazni brought along with him the frequent invasions from Afghanistan. There were as many as seven 'Dynasties'. The Ghaznis, the Ghori, the Slaves, the Khilji, the Tughlak, the Sayyad and the Lodhi in the Northern India. With the advent of the 'Moghul Empire' in 1530, there was an interesting emalgation of power, culture and religion. After Akbar's death in 1605, the Moghul dynasty continued with Shahjehan, his grandson making history at 'Taj Mahal'. However , Aurangjeb his son saw the last of the fading Moghul glory. His rigid stance brought revolt from the Rajputs, Marathas and the Sikhs.
Vasco-de-gama landed in the west coast of India in 1498. Along with him came the Dutch, the Danes, the French and the English. The Battle of Plassey in 1757, followed by the Battle of Buxor in 1764, established the power of the British Empire. The East India Company was now ruling till the advent of the unsuccessful Sepoy Mutiny of 1867.
The coming of Mahatma Gandhi in 1915, saw the awakening of India to a new era of spiritual Independence, through the Power of 'Ahimsa' ( Non-Violence). In 1947, the Britishers under immense international pressure, degrading domestic situation and perhaps guided by their own sense of morality paved way for anIndependent India.But with it came also the partition of two nations..India and Pakistan ! A thriving Alive India today, attracts many Global Tourists from all parts of the world !!
India Guide..India Tour, India..The Land of many Faiths !"
" India Tour, People and Religion !"
The unique civilization of India has been, for centuries a great unifying factor of various religion and culture. Hinduism the most ancient faith of India, believes in the eternity of the soul. The human life finally free from the cycle of birth and rebirth, eventually leads to the final liberation of the soul (Moksha), based on one's own 'karma'. Practised in many forms of Gods and Goddesses, sub-faiths, it is a myraid Philosophy of Human ideals, social obligations and environmental manifestation of God. The 'trinity' of Brahma, Vishnu & Shiva represents the creative, preservative and destructive aspects of the Supreme being.
'Islam', based on the sacred teachings of Prophet 'Muhammad', compiled in the holy book of 'Koran', is also based on human ideals. A good Muslim believes in the power of 'Allah', protects the weak and gives alms to the poor and needy. It is believed Saint Thomas, one of the first, twelve disciples of Jesus Christ, was the first preacher of 'Christianity' in India. Today much of India, is educated by the good work of the convent schools run by the sisters and nuns. Christianity teaches tolerance and good human deeds.
The 'Parsis', coming into India in the 8th century, brought with them, the holy flame of the Zoroastrian faith. Along 563-483 BC, the teachings of 'Lord Buddha' enlightened the path of India's history. Emperor Ashoka the Great, tread the path of this religion. Buddhism, today plays a major role, with its base of 'middle path', promoting Global Non-Violence. 'Lord Mahavira', the originator of Jainism practised the Supreme Ethics of religion as completely opposed to rituals and any kind of animal sacrifice. It is Non-Violence at its most sublime. 'Sikhism' from the green northern state of Punjab, was founded by 'Shri Guru Nanak Devji'. It offered complete benevolence of kindness and its doors were open to all caste, creed and color.
India has many tribes, communities, castes, sub-castes and various cultural traditions, which are today the strength of an Integrated India. The Indian Constitution allows complete 'freedom' of faith and worship, as long as the practising of one's religion does not interfere with the well being of another.!

..Once upon a time in the warm tepid waters of South India, there was an old gnarled Tamarind tree. Its branches it seemed were trying to talk to the sky..so one day, the children who played under the shade and enjoyed its fruit, asked the tree to tell them a 'story'.
The tree smiled and said.." You are like my branches, always trying to reach for the sky, but the way up is always full of hurdles and storms ! In my young days I had a 'true friend'..a fluttering beautiful 'butterfly', who would never heed my advise and would always be lured away to faraway shores, deep woods and luscious gardens..One day she did not come back to tell her travel story.., but I remembered her words always.., "life is too short to be lived in shades of black n white..like your amorous fruit, it must be tasted in all its sweet and sour flavors of Life!
