The Pandharpur
Wari or Yatra which is a pilgrimage on foot is currently in progress. Local and
national newspapers are covering this evening in their own ways. This
pilgrimage is a hundreds of years old tradition and it is wonderful to
see it still going strong. This morning I witnessed the yatra and what a spectacular
scene it was. Last night our neighborhood housing society had invited a group
of Warkari pilgrims to stay in their premises and the pilgrims were given food
and shelter. For the whole night the pilgrims sang religious songs and prayed
to God. They had a truck with them carrying essentials like drinking water. This
morning they joined the other Warkaris to form an ocean of devotees – it was a
scene of all individual egos getting lost and spirit of oneness rising above
everything else…
