2010 has been a year of mixed luck for me... The year started very slowly and has now ended in a flourish.. Just couldn't beleive that one year is over.. Sometimes I fear that I am ageing very quickly when I look back at the time... :-)
Now back to the topic... I was long thinking of visiting a temple after I came to Brussels and as I planned I took a day off from work today (dec 31 2010) and started my journey to Iskcon temple (the so called Radhadesh) situated in country side of Belgium.
Last time, I didn't have the guts to go alone ;-).. This time planned everything well in advance with the help of my friend Prasanth...
Dec 30 Night, I came home from badminton at around 9.30..Had my dinner and slept @11.20pm. I made sure that I kept my alarm :-)
Dec 31:
I woke up at around 7.15 am and got ready at around 8.15 am and started towards Brussels Noord. Had some coffee and croissant and boarded the train at 9.05 am.
Reached Liege at around 11 am.. The weather was freezing at -2 celsius.
Took some quick snaps...and boarded the local train @10.22 am. Reached Barvaux station at around 11.12 am. The place was picturesque, it was a fantastic sight to watch even though the weather was freezing... For me it was still good enough to enjoy the beauty of the place...
I entered the temple at around 11.35 am. The atmosphere was perfect for meditating :-)
I was offering my prayers and started at around 12.20 to have my lunch at a restaurant nearby.
In the mean time, I visited the art museum which was next to temple and took some pics.
Then I had my lunch, the lunch was jainish with no garlic or onion :-) Felt very good like eating at home..I started back to Brussels at 1.35 pm and reached home by 4.10 pm.
There is no better way to end the year by surrendering yourselves to GOD..
Hope the dawn of the new year is blessed with good health, prosperity and last but not the least wealth of happiness.
I have shared one of the photo that I managed to click today above.
Wish U all a happy new year!!!
