As I had to go to Kurukshetra by 0900 hours,I could not complete my morning program of exercises and walk along with pranayam and asans.However I did Vipasana for one full hour.We drove to Kurukshetra and saw the place where Shri Krishna preached Bhagwat Gita to Arjuna.It takes about 3 hours to reach there.The SP Kurukshetra had arranged a guide for us to take around the place. His services were quite useful as we could see almost all the important holly places.We also visited MahaKali Shakti Peeth where the left leg of Sati had fallen while Lord Shiva was taking her dead body all over the universe.Brahma Sarovar is majestic.The Mahabharata narrates the story of Shri Krishna doing the last rites of all those who died in the war here.PanGanga is a place where Arjuna brought out water for Bhisma,who felt thirsty and died there.
At Haryana tourist center Pipli in Kurukshetra we had a chance meeting with Sh.KPS Gill,IPS(retired), who was going to Chandigarh along with a friend from USA to show a Punjabi wedding. We had a small chat with him. He later requested for filing a PIL in the Supreme Court of India against construction of a flyover along the bank of Jamuna at Vrindaban.He said that the construction of the flyover will totally eclipse the holly place. I told him that the matter will have to be researched by Advocates who will need fees to pay. So far as I am concerned I will present the PIL before the Supreme Court and will not charge anything. He said that he would try to find out some advocates who can volunteer for the purpose and come back to me.I talked to an advocate of the chamber who is dealing with the Jamuna Express way case. He says he has already done the research and willing to be a part of the effort.Of course he expects remuneration for the purpose.
Retired to sleep at 2230 hours.
