Uttarakhand - Journey of Kumaon
Ekal is acting as a bridge between the city and the village. To experience Ekal properly, it is necessary for the city dwellers to walk on this bridge and reach the village and embrace the villagers. Trying to follow the path shown by Honorable Shyamji, we husband and wife (Rajeev Agarwal and Madhuri Agarwal), often try to go on a tour.
This time we went on a tour in Kumaon Bhag, Uttarakhand Division from 26 to 31 October, 2023. In this tour, we touched all the levels of Ekal – Chapter (Rudrapur); Division (Uttarakhand); Part (Kumaon), Zone (Khatima, Udham Singh Nagar, Someshwar and Bageshwar); Sanch (Nankamatta, Dayari and Rawaikhal) and Village (Paludra, Leshwal, Bijonriya, in this context this stay was completely different.
Ma. Shyam ji says that the strength of Ekal is family contact and family feeling. In this stay we came to know this strength of Ekal. Through the stay we got a chance to learn, understand and test and we came to know that stay is such a bridge which is very necessary to connect the city and the village,
Experience –
1. Parivar Milan – The experience of meeting Ekal family was very pleasant.
2. Hardworking Committee Member- Dedication towards Ekal and his personality being full of national spirit was inspiring for us.
3. Traditional Dress in School Visit- The women of the village and village committee members welcomed us with the local folk culture.
4. Sainik Samman – Ekal gave us an opportunity to honor the Soldiers of the nation.
5. Satsang – Satsang, Bhajan and Kirtan by Acharyas A beautiful program was organized which was enjoyed by all the villagers and we.
In this trip, Ekal has reached remote villages where even vehicles cannot reach. We had to walk sometimes up and sometimes down for communication or for school. Both of us were surprised to see the reach of Ekal in hilly and remote areas. This study trip was unforgettable for us.
