Today was somewhat solemn.
Why? We went to the famous Lord Shiva (Hindu) Temple Pashupatinath, where only Hindus are allowed inside...however this amazing temple lies next to a river where cremations are done...when Hindus die, all are cremated and the ashes are immersed into the holy river which runs next to the cremation sites.. there were around 9-10 sites, and I saw 3-4 bodies being cremated live.
I've never seen anything like it.
People were wailing...
Others were watching.
I had to sit down..
Stunned.
Saddened.
Praying.
Thinking.
Hoping for strength for their loved ones.
Wishing for comfort and solace.
Ashes to ashes....dust to dust.
I had to get up after awhile...
I was too saddened.
