Off to Hyderabad

Off to Hyderabad
On Monday, I will be taking a short break of four days from work. Reason. I am going to Hyderabad to stay at the Akshara Foundations Centre for some quiet meditation in the presence of my Guru, Swami Akshara.
Earlier, such trips have been really refreshing and rejuvenating. During my earlier visits to Hyderabad, I have participated in meditation programmes at the Ravindra Bharati Auditorium as a volunteer and enjoyed rendering the invocation song and welcome address.
My trips around Hyderabad have been the most memorable ones, climbing the dark tower of Char Minar, meditating on a motorboat gliding through the Hussain Sagar Lake, looking up at the towering Buddha sculpted by Ganapathi Sthapathi, a sculptor I have interviewed in the Meet column of The Hindu, watching the Blue Planet at the IMax theatre, which became my best film - I found it to be a spatial perspective of The Earth, just as Vedanta or the Upanishads views and watching the film was an elevating experience, a meditative journey to space.
I like the importance that the men and women of the Twin Cities give to dressing up well, their spiritual perspective to life.
In one line - I like the feel of Hyderabad.
I'll post from there if I get an opportunity. Else, catch you on Thursday.
Swaha-a.
