Southeast Asia at its best. 85% of the country is untouched nature, widespread forests, steep mountains and wide river valleys, but also cool high plateaus and savannahs. The primeval forests support a fauna like something out of a fairy tale, with elephants, tigers, leopards, and some of the rarest animal species on the planet. Species never seen by humans are discovered at regular intervals. In recent decades, the few large mammals to be described for the first time were all found in Indochina and experts assume that most of them are at home in Laos: wild oxen such as the saola and kuprey or the truong son munjak. No outsider has ever seen a living specimen of the latter; its existence is only known indirectly, through skeletons, horns and bag that are occasionally found in remote villages. And there is the Mekong, one of the last untamed rivers on Earth. Fed by hundreds of tributaries, it is one of the richest freshwater systems on the planet, comparable only with the Congo or Amazon. This is where the Mekong catfish lives. At 3 meters long and weighing in at 300 kilograms, this monster must be the largest freshwater fish on earth.

The wide, often untouched wilderness of the Baltic hinterland is home to many animals. More than 350 brown bears live in the primeval forests of Alutaguse. In the spring, the Soomaa National Park transforms into a huge lake. Europes widest waterfall is located in Latvia. In the beginning of May, vimba bream follow the course of the River Venta. The hardly 50-centimetre-long fish have to overcome a 400-metre-long rock barrier in order to reach their spawning grounds.
The Baltics are rich in superlatives: a fifth of the worlds spotted eagle stocks breed here. One of the largest courtship arenas for snipes is located here in the floodplains of Latvia. More than 1000 wolves go on the hunt in Latvias forests. Lithuania is the land of storks — with over 13.000 pairs, no other region in the Baltic States has more white storks.

A documentary on Varsana produced by Bhakti Chaitanya Swami
When Krishna moved with His parents from Vrindavana to Nandagrama, Srimati Radharani and her parents moved to Varsana, which is just eight kilometres away. Varsana is one of the richest areas of Radha and Krishna s pastimes. Even now They meet in the beautiful forests there every day, and one can feel Their transcendental presence everywhere.
This Video takes you on a journey through these sacred hills, to visit the temples and see the places where the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His eternal consort performed Their transcendental lilas together 5000 years ago
Locations: Vilas Garh; Sankari Kor; Ciksoli Grama; Krishna Kunda; Mor Kotir; Mana Kotir; Through the Forest; Dana Garh; Jaipur Temple; Sriji Temple; Pili Pokhara; and the Villages of the Asta Sakhis: Lalita — Unchagaon; Vishaka — Kamai; Campakalata — Kehrala; Indulekha — Anjanoka; Tungavidya — Dhavaro; Citra — Ciksoli; Rangadevi — Rakholi; Sudevi — Sonhera Grama; and other holy places of Varsana: Kadamkhandi; Suryakunda; and Prema Sarovara.
A beautiful prayer for the blessing of all of humanity taken from the Srimad Bhagavatam.
svasty astu visvasya khalah prasidatam
dhyayantu bhutani sivam mitho dhiya
manas ca bhadram bhajatad adhokshaje
avesyatam no matir apy ahaituki
«May the entire universe be blessed with peace and good hope. May everyone driven by envy and enmity become pacified and reconciled. May all living beings develop abiding concern for the welfare of others. May our own hearts and minds be filled with purity and serenity. May all these blessings flow naturally from this supreme benediction: May our attention become spontaneously absorbed in the rapture of pure love unto the transcendent Lord.»
— English rendition by Ravindra Svarupa Dasa, of Srimad Bhagavatam 5.18.9

Mana Village: Though this place is so near to Badrinath Dham that you should not miss going to Mana village, ideally spend a day there and if you are short of time, atleast half a day.
Ganesh Gufa: This is the Gufa where Lord Ganesh sat down and wrote the Epic Mahabharata.
All the places in Mana village are near to each other, but yes you will have to walk down 1 or 2 km with in the village, you will love the scenic views from the village and will see the village as well.
Vyas Gufa: You must visit this cave, more than 5k years old, you will get the opportunity to learn about Maharishi Ved Vyas, Pandit ji, there is very knowledgeable he tries to explain about the things in detail to visitors of the Gufa ( cave).

Hope you enjoyed watching this episode on our journey from Mana village to Gurudwara Gobind Ghat.
Though we mentioned in the video that next day we will go to Gurudwara Shri Hemkunt Sahib but we could not go there next day.
Reason- we were there on 1st June and that was the day of opening, there were many yatri’s there plus there was risk of glacier melting as well…
Gurudwara management requested Yatri’s to stay back for one or two days and then go there…
We decided to go to Auli and then come back… You will see Yatra of Shri Hemkunt sahib in episodes to come.
For your information: Yatra for Shri Hemkunt Sahib starts from Guduwara Gobind Ghat, you can go there on your vehcile then from there you have to travel 13 km… out of which 4 km you can go on shared jeep then from there 9 km trek to Gurdwara Gobind Dham.
You should look at staying at Gurudwara Gobind Dham or at some near by hotel at Gobind Dham next day you have to trek 6 km to go to Shri Hemkunt Sahib then come back to Gobind Dham. Since oxygen level at Shri Hemkunt Sahib is low, so people are not allowed to stay back there.
For more detailed information about yatra of Shri Hemkunt Sahib, pl. See the episode of the same.
Vaikuntha Ekadashi is said to be the day when the gate to the Lords holy abode is opened. Join SPN and Paramahamsa Vishwananda in Mauritius as we celebrate this auspicious day.
According to the Padma Purana, the demon Muran was about to kill Lord Vishnu who was in deep meditation when the Lords Shakti emerged and burned the demon to ash. Pleased with Her service, the Lord named Her Ekadashi and offered Her a boon. Thinking of others rather than Herself, She asked that all people who observe a fast on this day would be redeemed of their sins and attain Vaikuntha.
