“Just as Lord Shiva has discarded everything, so should the people come here having given up all worldly thoughts, to cleanse themselves,” said Swamiji, who is at present residing at the Vishwanath temple in Guptkashi.
Swamiji was inside the temple on June 17 when the great wave of rocks, ice chunks and boulders came crashing down the lake which is about one-km behind the temple.
“We could see boulders breaking off and a mass of water descending at a furious pace. The wave reached the temple within seconds. Some of the boulders even hit the temple, which shook for a few moments. But it passed just as quickly,” he recounted.
