Pujya Swami Avatar Puri Greets Devotees Before Pilgrimage to Sri Devpuriji’s Cave

On 22nd September, with Vishwaguruji’s blessings and Pujya Swami Avatar Puri Ji Maharaji’s heartfelt well-wishes, a group of Yoga in Daily Life devotees set forth from Rishikesh on a sacred pilgrimage to the holy cave of Sri Devpuriji in the Garhwal Himalayas.

At Surya Kund near Satopanth, at an elevation of 4,500m, lies the cave where Sri Devpuriji engaged in deep meditation and received the divine vision and darshan of Sri Alakhpuriji. At that place, Sri Alakhpuriji bestowed His blessings upon Sri Devpuriji, awakening within him the radiant, eternal qualities of God Shiva. For this reason, Sri Devpuriji is venerated as an incarnation of Shiva Himself.

In this holy place, sanctified by Sri Devpuriji’s intense tapasya (austerities), devotees humbly offered their homage, receiving the nectar of the Himalayas and the blessings of the OM Sri Alakhpuriji Siddha Peeth Parampara.
