devprayag vedhshala
Nakshatra Vedh Shala (observatory) well written in a blog by a foreign tourist and the day I decided to visit. I hire a Scooty from Rishikesh and reached Devprayag - 70 Kms approx. distance.
Photos of Shri Acharya Pandit Chakradhar Joshi with Swami Muktananda Paramahansa, Hari Om Sharan, Naushad, Jairaj, Ravi.
Once you cross Motel Dev (right-hand side) at Devprayag on the left hand side of National Highway 58 there is a path that goes towards PWD Dak Bungalow. Follow the left road - This is the first road of Garhwal that ends at Bungalow. Year 1935 the first bus came at this road only.
Near the entrance gate of Dak Bungalow are the steps that will take you to observatory up in the hill. Ask anyone. Everybody knows the house. Few meters of the steep climb.
During the visit we were welcomed and offered tea and snacks by the family members and then I met Shri Prabhakar Joshi son of renowned astrologer Late Shri Acharya Pandit Chakradhar Joshi - Director of The Himalayan Astrological Research Institute also known as Nakshatra Ved Shala (observatory).
Shri Prabhakar Joshi is a press reporter. His younger brother Acharya Bhaskar Joshi is a sadhak (one who does meditation).
On the way towards observatory Prabhakar ji showed us more than 40 years old two big Christmas trees and a Golden fish pond existing since his father days.
Maybe some astrological reasons? Maybe - a thought within as I walk further.
