WHY INDIA IS INCREDIBLE
My recent visit to Manali gave me an opportunity to visit the Rohtang Pass, situated at a distance of approximately 50 kms from manali. The road(?) to Rohtang has to be taken quite early in the day, if you wish to reach Rohtang, right in time for some snow-sports. Though the distance is only 50 kms it takes atleast three hours to reach, that too if you are lucky. Besides, if you really want to travel stress-free, better you take a local car and a driver to chauffer you to Rohtang.

On the first day, I had started late, not accepting my driver's advice. The result was the hold up in a traffic jam midway. The consolation is the promptitude with which I decided to call off my journey. Later in the evening I came to know that most of the persons held up had returned after a wait of two-three hours and the road had opened after four hours or so. Next day I took the road at five in the morning, following verbatim my driver's advice.

If the road is narrow, it is further throttled by the vendors selling (renting) snow gear. The makeshift shops that dot the road till first few kilometers add to the agony of inexperienced drivers. the sellers station themselves in the middle of the road to entice you to buy (rent) equipment from them. One has to veer around these entities to proceed with their travel.

There are no barricades on the valley side. This may exacerabate your pulserate or your sense of adventure depending on how you are taking your journey. The most amusing part of this travel is that the oncoming traffic is least concerned about your problems - the lack of space and on almost every turn there is a competition of who beats whom. What amazed me was the coolness with which my local driver was accepting all the surprises. The potholes, the large scattered rocks and pebbles, the muddy land that made the grounds slippery, the washed out concrete that tried to pierce car tyres, all this and yet my driver was unfazed. I was convinced that my driver and everybody who was driving on this road was a 'yogi'. Otherwise what could explain their complacense and unperturbed attitude.

As I travelled farther, I realised that all the persons who were on their way to the top were in some kind of a communion. Whenever there was a traffic jam, most of us got out of our vehicles and chatted. Some persons alo exchanged eatables and drinks. Surprisingly, at certain spots, there were vendors selling spicy cereals, and they were doing brisk business. To my amazement, there was gaity in the air. The odds were accepted with such ease and the resignation turned the logic of hardship on its head.

Best of all was the moment of arrival at Rohtang, a vast area on the top of the mountains, like a wide table-top, cluttered with men, animals and automobiles. The vendors were also omnipresent, but now with their makeshift stalls. Some of them had built canopies to offer some shade to the travel-weary.

It was so good that I hired a tonga (horse) to ferry myself to the spot where I could indulge in the snow sports. And lo and behold! There were all the sports, snow mobiking, sledging, snow-tubes, skiing and all. Everyone present was engaged in one or the other sport and there was an amazing environment of merry making.

When I was returning I casually expressed my amazement to my driver at the way the things were happening. I told him 'this happens only in India! My driver was quick to make an important correction. He said, "Sir, not India, 'Incredible' India". It was my turn to stare out of the window throwing my gaze on the mighty and serene Himalaya, with a sense of enlightenment.

'Astu' - the equivalent of 'Amen'
'Astu' is the Sanskrit equivalent of 'Amen' in Hebrew and 'Amin' in Arabic. The word 'Astu' means 'let there be' or 'let it be so' where, what is prayed to be stayed is the 'grace of supreme being'.

The remarkable parity of 'Astu', 'Amen' and 'Amin' proves the argument of 'universalism' of world religions.

For detailed information on the definition and occurrence of 'Astu' in Sanskrit please refer to the following website
