The distant thud of fireworks predawn. The strains of the distant prabhat pheri.A tree stands tall against the glorious sun. Am reminded of Hemkund sahib, a placid pool amidst seven mountains. Maybe some day, or some lifetime. Rabba lakh lakh shukar manava...

Ah,that's like the scene in Fatehgunj..and, when I go to the EME Temple..though, the trees are much more than a solitary one-all are Vad trees.:)
yes,I remember that glorious canopy opposite the temple, near the golf course...lucky you!
I still remember our climb to Hemkunt Sahib from Gobindghat during a trek to the Himalayas many years back. There was so much deep fresh snow all around. I was so exhausted by the time we reached there due to the lack of oxygen at 15000 feet. The sight was unbelievable, "the placid pool amidst seven mountains...." heavenly indeed!
And would you believe what we got as prasad - the Sikh priest dug out some fistfuls of snow, put them in a pan and onto a kerosen stove - each one of us got a few spoonfuls of that melted snow to drink and we were soon on our way back.
What a beautiful moment! So blissful. Thank you for sharing.
Did you take any photographs of the mountains and the Gurudwara?
