Mystical Himalayas: A Journey of Divine Guidance and Protection.

Himalayas have always been seen as a place where divinity, with its supreme energy, resides. It is home to countless spiritual gurus who have devoted their entire lives to the Himalayan energies. It can be called the power center of the Earth.

Now, talking about my journey to the Himalayas, it has also always been spiritually guided and protected.

This year, while travelling to Lobuche, we had to face a flight delay at the airport. But I was assured that we would fly, as our flight number marked TA 111 on our boarding pass.

As time passed, we were all becoming restless. Even the ground staff were sure that our flight would be called off. No flights had been called for a week, and we were the first ones after the week of cancellations.

After a few hours, one of my teammates asked, “Didi, do you think we will fly?”

At that time, I was scrolling through my Instagram and instantly saw 111 comments. I said, “Yes… definitely we will. The Universe is signalling us.”

Then, at around 10:50, we were called for boarding, and at just around 11:11, we boarded our flight to Lukla and flew.

The other instance was on day 2 of our trip to summit Lobuche.

My new water bottle had to be thrown away as it was mishandled by the ground staff and I lost its cap. So, I was left with just one flask.

I had to withdraw money from an ATM at Lukla, but I had forgotten to do so. We had a night stay at Phakding, so the next day I needed to buy a water bottle as we had a long hike to Namche.

I didn’t feel like asking for money from any of my teammates as everyone was new to me, and I don’t feel comfortable asking anyone for money.

So, in the morning, I just sat and asked ShivaShakti and Hanumandada to help. I just put my hands into my jacket and found 900 rupees.

I knew it wasn’t mine because I remembered that I hadn’t kept any money in my pockets. I tried to remember and recalled that a few months ago, one of my friends had borrowed my jacket for a trek.

The jacket was washed and returned back to me.

But look, my divine parents sent some money along. They know their child’s nature. ❤

The other instance was on day 4 at Pangboche.

I was suffering from serious gastric pain throughout the trek from Namche to Pangboche. At that very time, the festival of Dumji was going on all around the Khumbu area.

When we reached Pangboche, we were informed that a Rinpoche would be there at the monastery to bless everyone.

My ache had not subsided, but still, I decided to seek his blessing no matter what.

There was a huge crowd at the monastery, and we all waited for our turns. After a few minutes, it was my turn.

I went and sought his blessing, and he gave me some sacred offerings to eat.

Within a few seconds, I felt like I needed to rush to the bathroom. I informed my teammates and ran to the resort where we were staying.

I felt so fresh and relieved. My stomach ache was completely gone.

The trip was successful.

From the day we landed until we flew back, all the locals called us a lucky team.

“You all are super lucky.”

I believe it was all because the Divine looks upon its children and makes the impossible possible.

These are just some of the instances that I experienced during my Lobuche journey.

I always feel that I am guided and protected by the Supreme whenever I travel to the mystical Himalayas.
