2. Baba Haridass of Mount Madonna

Hello All,

Few months ago I went to meet a Mauni baba - Baba Haridass of Mount Madonna of Watsonville, California USA. Originally from Almora, this Baba has never spoken a word since 1952 and he well settled in California. Babaji keeps a small white slate and use black marker and small piece of cloth for communication. Looks very strange but those who have practiced it later admitted that this helps in mind purification. He likes Bhatt ki Dal very much and I have promised him that I would get enough Daal for him in the next trip to India. He has quite a few followers here and he also runs an orphanage in Haridwar. To my surprise, his ashram is in the midst of forest far from the town but very well maintained and self contained.

The Ashram has several facilities onsite including internet and a tennis court. It has a hanuman mandir, a big seating hall for pravachan, stage, several yoga suites and large kitchen that cooks creates strictly vegetarian meals. Baba has his dinner at 6pm and sleeps by 8pm. He allows kids to have Candies but no more than "one". He looked visibly happy when my daughter was running all over the place but after certain time asked me to calm her down.

This Ashram teaches Ashtanga form of Yoga and it has all lodging and boarding facilities. The ashram runs a private school with a grand show of Ramayana every year.

During Navratri, they also create Ravan, Kumbhakaran and Meghnad out of paper and bamboo and then use cranes and other farm equipment for their "Dahan". It is all done lawfully with permission from local government.

I'm sure fellow Kumaonis in Bay Area, California might have visited it several times but I think it is worth mentioning about Baba in this forum. If you have visited Bonfante Gardens, it is on the same road but little ahead into the woods. I'm living in Fremont California since 2000 but I came to know only in 2005 when a fellow Kuamoni friend of mine took me to his ashram. I was surprised.

I haven't contributed to this forum since a long time...

Shri DANGIJI, I have read several of your valuable posts, please let us know what do you think.....

Thanks and Regards
Mohit

3. BHITOLA (SPECIAL FESTIVAL OF WOMEN)

Friends,

 In some parts of Uttarakhand (Chait ka Maheena) is very
special for women. This month is also known as Bhitola ka Maheena
where parent visit to daughter and take some gifts etc their
dauthers. This system is very old in pahad. Women eagerly wait
this month to see their parent. I have recently returned from my
native place and I saw this system ours is till intact. This is
indeed a good sign. However, little bit of changes have taken.
Earlier, parent used to take "Halwa Puri" and Sari for
their daughter now in some parts, sweets are distributed.

 I believe the under mentioned song has been made on
"Bhitola Festivel " :

"Nee Basu Ghughtu Chait Ki

Meeke Narayee Lagi Mait Ki"

To know some more facts about this festival :-
