Build up to the Holy Amarnath Yatra - Phase 2

We got ourselves registered for the Amarnath Yatra on the day the registrations began. But we have been faced with a problem, we have got the Yatra date as the 11th of July as opposed to the 1st or 2nd July which we wanted. This has shaken us a bit. It also made us think that we might not be able to go ahead with the plan of the Yatra. We are dejected. This has actually spoiled the enthusiasm that we had.

We called up a few people who have been to Amarnath lately and they opined that the date should not be a problem, it is there just to control excessive amount of devotees. The government officials give dates in order to distribute the crowd of devotees but they do not stop any person who has a registration and reaches before the given date. The same words were voiced by a couple of other people who are either directly or indirectly associated with the Holy Yatra. This gave us a big relief and we all welcomed it.

But still we are not very sure that we would be able to visit the holy cave of Amarnath. We are waiting with fingers crossed and I guess this will be our situation till the time we actually reach Srinagar as till then we can only speculate things but cannot conclude. We have a meeting planned to discuss the next steps on Monday morning. Let us pray and hope that we can go ahead with our program and visit the holy Amarnath. Let Bhole Baba decide our fate.

JAI BHOLE NATH !!!
