Day720-Oneness

Today was about Oneness. The island of Oasis that looked majestic and big from far off, was waiting to be inhabited. After looking at the majestic structure, there are many un-answered and mysterious questions that run through the mind. It is a temple of Oneness, which means it is irrespective of religion. But then why is it called Kalki temple who is an Hindu god. Speaking of Kalki, kalki is regarded as the destroyer of earth who is yet to present himself on earth. Hindu mythology does not encourage preaching Kalki. Yet there is a huge temple for him. This temple stands tall in the middle of the desert giving hope and reassurance to travellers. But there are hardly any travellers in the middle of nowhere. Even more quizzling is there is not a single soul in the Temple. Not a human, animal or any bird. Its completely barren and new. Google tells me it is the temple having the largest pillarless meditation hall in the world. It is common sense to wonder why it is kept a secret. The attitude of the local people makes it even more mysterious. Some deny any such temple, some point directions elsewhere, some say its a normal temple, some advise not to go there. There was definitely some air of uneasiness when I ventured there. The guard didnt allow me inside but assured me an entry on Sunday morning 6 am unofficially. I am not going to this spooky place ever! After a few photos, quickly sailed back to the ship and got ready to learn.
