creator in person

with my recent interest in tibet i have come across swami pranavananda. there appears to be to be two - one who extensively traveled in himalayas and the other who established bharat seba sangha. second one is a bengali dedicated his life to serve indian subcontinent, died at the age of 45 in 1941.

first one wrote and mapped the region known as tibet the origin of river indus sutlej brahmaputra ganga. he also established all notable landmarks and distances and centuries old population who are scattered. he went to this region including kailash and manasarovar about 6 times or more and spent about dozen years. the first book he wrote in 1938. Om pilgrim's route to kailash etc. was very referred by all western travelers interested in tibet. i have access to this book but i am debating buying it since it is written in sanskrit - i am not very sure. may be maps are. there is a later book published in english in 1949. it has a forward by Pandit Nehru. He said there, as a young man he was fascinated by this land and wished to visit the same but he was swept away into other places. his great grandson rahul however visited this region last year during summer.

i visited and seen the source of ganga with water flowing out of glacier trapped between two mountain cliffs that looked like animal's mouth. gomukh. it was unbearably cold for me; i was then in my mid-thirty. i went to alokananda that flowed out of vasudhara falls second time in 2000 searching for an avadhoot who changed my perception of philosophy.

there are men who are living a life they know is dream as dream; they are silent - they allow all perceptions under the sky and below the feet and surrounding and they have no cover and no need for the same. they have no identity. creator in person.
