Re: AW: [kigohotline] Pilgrimage (henro).

Dear Gabi,
Here's my haiku on a recent pilgrimage :
 
kamakhya on nilachal~
pilgrims trekking together
to mother's womb
 
This was written during a visit to Kamakhya Temple near Guwahati in Assam (North East India) recently. It is on a mountain named Nilachal (meaning Blue Mountain). The deity ie. Goddess Kamakhya is worshipped here in the 'yoni' form. It is a great Shakti peeth and a seat of Tantric cult of Hinduism. (For more information on the shrine, one may excess Wikipedia.)
 
Regards,
Sunil Uniyal

Betreff: [kigohotline] Pilgrimage (henro).

From: Ella Wagemakers

Pilgrimages were/are? supposed to be occasions for travel and
reflection. Sometimes, though, it's the travelling bit that gets more
attention, be it Lourdes, Mecca, or Santiago de Compostela.

Seriously, though, other memories come to mind as well.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on pilgrims ... they do it for many
reasons, that is true.
Especially during the Edo period in Japan, this was a great excuse for
getting out and around in the country !
