Since many of the members of puja.net group practice TM, I thought it might be interesting to play around with Google Earth to see if I could find Rishikesh and Uttarkashi where Maharishi’s guru; Bramananda Saraswati studied in his younger years.
In the image above, Rishikesh is in the lower left, and Uttarkasi is in the upper center of the photo. One certainly gets a sense of how far into the Himalayas it is, particularly when you zoom in a little bit. It certainly looks like rugged country located just below the permanent snow.
A closer look shown the town situated along the banks of the river.
And zooming in as closely as the map will allow, one see what appears to be a nice large-ish village with streets, lots of green trees and of course, the river.
