hi jitendra
life is anything but routine  we bumped the trip to dec. 16th

i have an idea of what it is i want from this but am curious if you have any suggestions for me or if i should keep anything in mind?

thanks   

Only that when i think of a pilgrimage i think of being in a holy place or around those kind of people. Is that your definition? i think that after all my pilgrimages i have learned that some people just do not have the same ideas as i have about it. Suddenly you find that they are ready to go home or do something else when you are a right in the middle of the venture. Being kind to others and taking them along for a spiritual experience can sometimes prove very regrettable since others seem to look at the trip thru totally different eyes and to see their idea of entertainment not being met. What you are looking for in an inner sense of spiritual understanding and realization cannot always be found at places like Sea World, Disneyland and Magic Mountain. Nor can it be found when others enjoy the first day or so but then tire and get bored quickly as they fall back into old patterns being amused by a vacation spirit. What you find is that concept of being entertained still is highly conditioned into the consciousness of our culture and the 'friends' that surround us.
