#Parashar Lake

Parashar Lake

It was our second last day of Spiti in a jeep safari. We were going to Parashar Lake in Mandi. The weather was sunny and we crossed a cloudburst affected area in our vehicle. This was the first time I was seeing nature's fury so close. The cloudburst had happened two days ago and there already was a winding road made through the rubble of boulders by the JCB machines. A concrete bridge had been washed away.

My understanding was that cloudburst happens over a small area. But this devastated area was long. The cloudburst must have taken place higher up and the water must have swelled to wipe off everything in its flow down. That's what we crossed safely. The lenght of the affected area was longer than its breadth. The bulldozer must have created a curvy S-shaped road through the debris of huge boulders and the villagers were using this road by foot or vehicle.

Then as we ascended the regular tarred road, the scenery changed to tall pines and clouds. It was cool and foggy. Visibility was reduced to around 10 metres and the winding road was such that it was impossible to look around the corner turn and honking was compulsory at every twist. We reached the top and were surrounded by clouds. This was my third visit to Parashar Lake and I had imagined that nothing would be seen in the clouds. It was exactly that. We reached the lake and couldn't see anything except clouds over the lake in the bowl of the mountains.

(Now this is my understanding and it has to be taken with a pinch of salt, as I am not a geologist. Parashar Lake must have been a glacial lake during the ice age). The glacier and the snow must have melted leaving the lake in a bowl of the mountain at the top. Now comes the most beautiful part of the setting. You must have realised how unique this lake is and it has an island inside it! This floating island is a round plate covered with grass, whose color changes from green to brown to white as per the climate or snow. From the top, the first look of this lake resembles an emerald. A jewel in the mountains. Sun is shining on the green emerald island floating in the middle of the lake. The island never touches the edge of the lake and the island moves! I have been to this place twice, separated by years and the island has been at different locations in the lake! It is said that the depth of this lake is unfathomable.

Observe the MOVEMENT OF THE FLOATING ISLAND IN THIS EMERALD LAKE!

The poojari or the guruji of the Parashar Rishi Ashram told us the following story:

A scientist or a diver had dived in this lake to understand the mysterious floating island. The diver couldn't, but their observations were, that the island is made of of mud on which the grass grows. Surprisingly the mud doesn't disintegrate in the water and there is a cone like structure below the island, tapering off like a whirlpool's spin.

Rishi Parashar is the son the of Rishi Vashisth and father of Rishi Vyas.

Rishi Vyas narrated Mahabharat and Lord Ganesh wrote it.

Parashar Rishi knew the future even when he was in his mother's womb and was reluctant to be born to avoid him fathering his son, Rishi Vyas.

Rishi Vyas would narrate Mahabharat and Parashar Rishi didn't want the war to happen.

So for 12 years Rishi Parashar gathered the future of the mankind in his mother's womb and then took birth.

Rishi Parashar meditated for 63,000 years at Parashar lake and then he took samadhi here.

As a child our poojari's grandparents told him and the family that nobody is supposed to talk loudly at this serene lake. Peace and quiet. It is so peaceful here, that there is no need of even the birds to sing or chirp. Only the melody of the bell that is rung with devotion at the Parashar Rishi Ashram is the sound heard when devotees come for darshan.

The lake is 71% water and 29% island. The proportion matches the land and water percentage of the Earth!

Now comes our experience. Though I had been to this emerald lake of Rishi Parashar twice (you can check the photos here of my 2013 & 2019 visit) and I had done the pradakshina of the lake, I didn't know what to experience till my friend Terrvaller (Tosh bhai) told this. Tosh told us that let us do the pradakshina of the lake bare foot. He said that the Earth around this lake doesn't hurt at all. There is grass, there are thorns, there are plants and there are insects. Hairy caterpillars which if touched will cause stinging and itching. But I trusted my friend and another friend joined us in the barefooted pradakshina. We three went around. The mud around the lake's periphery was wet and soft. The feet went in, but there was no bad feeling and the mulch was like massage to the legs. Our feet sunk in the soft velvet and it was enjoyable. There are stones, pebbles and rocks in the path. If you pick them up, they are the regular stuff, which are hard and will hurt when walked without shoes. But here, even stepping on them while doing the pradakshina doesn't hurt. They just stay there. Not a single bump happened to the open toes. Neither did we ever step on a thorn or a caterpillar. The thorns of the plants don't touch your feet at all. The grass and its flowers are like the green carpet with colorful jewels all around, welcoming the devotee to experience silence and magic.

That's the power of these ancient places. Do not go with music played on your mobiles or speakers. Do not chatter around the lake. Do not speak. Just watch, sit or stand and absorb the silence and know what you are missing from your routine life.

Preserve the sanctity of the region, respect the local villagers and do not take selfies with the dieties.

(Pardone my misunderstandings or wrong connections in the article written about divinity, when I felt the divine magic).

Himachal Pradesh is the Land of the Gods.
