Suhrit's diary - The Narmada trip
Return to DiscussionsRiver Narmada flowing through central India is believed to be a sacred river of India. There are many pilgrims at the bank of Narmada. One of such place is called Hoshangabad. I had some office related work at a place 20 km away from Hoshangabad and so I decided to stay in a hotel at Hoshangabad. I checked in a small hotel close to river bank. When I reached there it was almost 11.30 am and quite hot. The reception took my photo id card for registration and told me tat they would return it soon. I came to my room and stripped completely...and lied lazily on the bed.
Some one knocked the door - and I asked to come. I saw this room service boy came it and was not at all surprised at my nudity.He looked straight at my eyes, smiled and handed over the card to me.
I ordered for some food and asked for water. He brought all those and was absolutely cool. His name was Raja. I told Raja that I feel comfortable in nude and prefer to remain nude inside the room. Raja gave me a warm smile and said - sir the moment I first saw you nude in room., I understood that you love to be nude. I don't have any problem. Please feel free before me.
Slowly Raja and me became good friends. He took my nude pictures in my camera.
last time when I met Raja, he promised me that next time he would take me to a forest nearby, where both of us would spend the day in nude.
I am waiting for my next trip to Hoshangabad.
I stayed 4 days there. Every day I used to have bath in the river,both morning and evening. There were several temples and I liked one particular temple of Lord Shiva. One day I planned to do a nude worship. That day I finished my early dinner and came to th eriver bank at around 10pm.The bank was quite crowed. I waited for almost one and half hours till the crowd got retired. It was almose 12.00 mid night when I took off my cloths and put all those in a bag. and I got down to the river only in undies. I had few dips and then took off my last piece of cloth and let it flow with water.
I was completely nude....few guys were there busy in smoking cannabis, they looked at me but no reaction. I did my worship to the river Goddess Narmada. Then I went to them and requested them to lit as I was full wet and was not able to burn the match stick. They looked at me and lit the lamps. I floated the lamps in water.
Then I climbed almost 40 steps up to the Shiva temple and sat for meditation. Around 12.30 am I decided to go back to hotel. Then suddenly I thought of walking nude to me hotel. So i started walking nude. I was carrying my cloths in a side bag..and was holding a rosary in my hand. It was almost a 10 min walk thorough a sleeping town. Though there was hardly any body..but few passer by saw me but as I was walking with my rosary in hand, no one told me any thing.
Just before entering the hotel, I wrapped a towel around my waist. I reaced near th ereception and asked for te key..by that time the towel dropped. I just put it on my shoulder and did not try to hide my nudity. the reception guy handed over the key to another room service boy and instructed him to open the door of my room.
There is a place called Narmada sangam where two branches of Narmada, come from both side of omkareswar island and meet. this is considered as a holy spot to take bath. In the day time lot of make shift shops are there to sell articles for worshiping..like flowers, candle, coconuts etc. they all leave by 4.30 pm as the flow of pilgrims decreases. It was one of such empty make shift shop where I was resting...and there were few people who were coming for bath. they saw me in nude and took as a saint. One addressed me as babaji and asked something.
And the puja picture was in a different temple that happened during Narmada parikrama.
I will share that experience too.
From Hoshangabad I went to a place called Pahariya. There were few cave painting made centuries back. It was a lovely place where paintings were done on rock faces. The entire place is covered by trees and bushes and it was hardly marked by tourist's foot step. I went there early in the morning and found some secluded place to remain nude. For almost two hours I enjoyed nude time in nature. Two pictures of the location are there in my album.
From Hoshangabad I went to Omkareswar. it is one of the most revered pilgrimage in India. I reached there quite late in night. and put up in a hotel. Next morning I went for the temple. I was wearing only one small piece of white cloth. Though I was not nude but it was almost like being nude..specially when I was bathing. I completed my bath and then started walking along the path....Narmada Parikraman. This is a small parikraman which is of 8 km and take around 3 hours. On my way I met wit two saints who were sitting on their roadside shelter. I spent some time with them and told them tat I might come back again.
I returned to my hotel and had rest. In the evening, I went for narmada river parikraman again and this time bare bodied, only with a small piece of cloth to cover myself. I had bath gaian and in wet cloth continued my walk. I reached the shelter of the saints in late evening. They were quite happy seeing me. I spent the night with them. Next morning one saint went to have bath with me. I had nude bath infront of him and he was coolabout it. Then a photographer came and wanted to take a photo of us. We stood and he took our snaps.
In that shelter of sadhus, there was a naga sannyasi, thought not nude that time. And the sadhu with whom I took nude snap was of Nath cult, thses two are two schools of saints in India. This person became quite friendly with me..and I told him that once I want to join in one of their praikraman when I would be nude. And he agreed to that. after I fished bath, he took me to his harmit again and offered me breakfast - some fruits, cereals and honey.
Then I started my journey for parikraman again.
It was a beautiful train through the jungle...there were huts bot sides. I reached to a stretch when i saw nothing but wilderness all around. I took off my piece of cloth and became full nude. it was an awesome feeling. After initial few steps I became absolutely uninhibited and free. I was surcharged with a great spiritual feel and felt as if I was a man who has renunciated every thing and out in world for a greater search in life.
like that I traveled almost a 2 KMs and then I realised that I was approaching a small village. I covered myself because stillI am a worldly man and have my body awareness. Though I was not having erection but not wanted to be viewed by children, in nude.
I crossed the village...and again I found a stretch without any sign of habitation. So I stripped and started walking. Slowly I reached a place where I found a temple complex. It was a magnificient temple made at 1700 AD, by some king. It was a master piece work of architecture. When i entered I realised that I was the only person there except the priest. I went inside the main temple where the Shiva Linga was worshipped. The priest looked at me but did not say anything. I did my puja in nude, completed my pradakshinam around the temple..every thing in nude.
I left the temple and found that i am approaching towards another village. So I covered myself. I crossed the village and reached another stretch with no one around. there was a huge gate..made 1000 years before. I stripped and sat near it. Then I saw a young man coming towards me. He was a village urchin who earned livlihood by taking photographs of tourists. When he came very close to me then he realised that I was nude. But he was quite okay with that. He asked me if I want to take my snaps..each print out costs Rs 10/-. I told him I would pay him Rs 10/- but he has to take a snapof mine in my camera. He agreed and took my nude snaps.
8th October 2012
I have come back to Narmada once again. Yesterday I went inside a jungle and spent some nude moments. In the evening I went to a cave to see a Naga sannyasi - the naked saint. When I reached there two of his devotees were offering him food. I stood there for a while. And then I stripped completely. Fully naked I went up and offered my salutation to him. His two devotees were perplexed.
What else I could offer to a naked saint?
