点评:Our hearts swelled with anticipation as we approached the sacred land of Govardhan Hill. To finally set our footpaths on this divine earth, intimately connected with Lord Krishna's lila, was a blessing beyond measure. The very air seemed to hum with devotion, carrying whispers of ancient tales and the fervent prayers of countless devotees who have walked this path before us.
The sight of Govardhan, even from a distance, evoked a profound sense of peace and reverence. This was truly a moment of spiritual fulfillment, a long-cherished dream come true.
We are at the land Lord Krishna lifting this very hill to protect his beloved devotees from the wrath of Indra, and our hearts swelled with gratitude for His boundless compassion.
However, in the spirit of truth and to ensure that future pilgrims can truly experience the unadulterated divinity of Govardhan, it is imperative to share a word of caution.
While the spiritual experience was undeniably profound, certain aspects marred the otherwise blessed journey, particularly for foreign devotees.
We encountered what can only be described as blatant exploitation. An e-rickshaw ride for the 22km Parikrama was quoted and charged at an exorbitant INR 3500, a sum that felt like daylight robbery. It was a disheartening reminder that even in such sacred places, unscrupulous individuals can prey on the trust and devotion of pilgrims.
We felt deeply cheated by our guide and the e-rickshaw driver, and this unfortunate incident cast a shadow on an otherwise blissful experience.
翻译:当我们接近戈瓦尔丹山这片神圣的土地时,我们心中充满了期待。终于能够踏上这片神圣的土地,与克里希纳神(Lord Krishna)的“lila”(放松)紧密相连,这真是无比的幸福。空气中仿佛弥漫着虔诚的气息,夹杂着古老传说的低语,以及无数在我们之前走过这条路的信徒们虔诚的祈祷。
即使远远望去,戈瓦尔丹山的景象也唤起了一种深刻的平和与敬畏之感。这真是一个精神上的满足时刻,一个长久以来的梦想成真了。
我们来到了这片土地,克里希纳神为了保护他挚爱的信徒免受因陀罗(Indra)的愤怒而举起这座山,我们心中充满了对他无限慈悲的感激。
然而,本着真理的精神,也为了确保未来的朝圣者能够真正体验到戈瓦尔丹纯粹的神性,我们必须分享一些警告。
虽然这次精神体验无疑意义深远,但某些方面却损害了这趟原本神圣的旅程,尤其是对外国信徒而言。
我们遭遇了只能被形容为赤裸裸的剥削。22公里的帕里克拉玛(Parikrama)之旅,电动人力车的报价和收费竟然高达3500印度卢比,这笔钱简直就是光天化日之下的抢劫。这令人沮丧地提醒我们,即使在如此神圣的地方,也有一些不法之徒会利用朝圣者的信任和虔诚。
我们感觉自己被导游和电动人力车司机深深欺骗了,这起不幸的事件给原本幸福的旅程蒙上了一层阴影。
