Sri Gomukh.....the place where the sacred Ganga actually emerges into the world.of all the places on earth it is the holiest.it is celebrated in innumerable songs by the great rishis-it is surrounded by high,snow- clad peaks.it stands close to heaven and is occuied by the gods.over it is an extensive pateau.on it grows a wide variety of divine flowers,making it into a lovely garden.
In the mind of one standing near Gomukh,under the high,dazzling,snow covered peaks of the Himalaya,and watching the things all round him with eyes wide open in wonder, there can be no room at all, atleast for that duration, for common worldly thoughts,surrows or memories of past experiences.that is, the mind then reaches a state of concentration,devoid of all distracting thoughts.it is then steeped in ineffable joy at the sight of the snow divinely beautiful in its own right, and led forward into astate of samadhi beyond all doubts and fancies.This experience is common to all,without any distinction of the learned and the ignorant,the pious and the impious,the one who knows the truth and the one who does not.
