Hello everyone! First of all, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you who has supported me until now. Your support means the world to me, and I hope you continue to stay with me on this journey! 😊
In this vlog, I’m sharing my third day in Himachal Pradesh with you. I start by taking you upstairs to show you the peaceful surroundings and share a glimpse of my day. Soon, a vegetable van arrives, bringing fresh vegetables and fruits for the next two days, and I join some of the nuns to help bring the vegetables inside.
I then give you a quick tour of the kitchen and dining hall, where I show you the preparations for lunch. The bell rings, and everyone gathers for the meal. The kitchen is incredibly cold, so after lunch, I step out into the sun to warm up for a bit.
Next, I give you a peek into the Mahakala puja, which is an important part of the week-long ritual. Since I didn’t have much time on the first day, I’ve included a video from the second day of the puja, which begins around 5:00 am. When I arrive upstairs, the puja takes a short break, and I capture some nuns warming themselves around a wood fire, as the temperature is quite chilly.
I then take you back to the kitchen, where preparations are in full swing for lunch and tea, including a delicious vegetable bakleb. By 12:00 pm, it's time for lunch, and the nuns rest for a while afterward before heading back to the puja.
The day is packed with a busy schedule, as we need to prepare tea at 2:30 pm and then get ready for the 3:30 pm tea with alu roti. After that, we’re back in the kitchen to prepare dinner. This routine continues for the entire week of the puja, and I’m doing my best to show you as many moments as possible, even though I didn’t have enough time to capture everything.
At the end of the vlog, I also include footage from the third day, as I didn’t get time to film earlier. I show you how to make fruit cream, which I had tasted before but never made myself. I’m excited to learn and share the process with you!
Thank you again for all your support, and I hope you enjoy this peaceful glimpse into my daily life here in Himachal! 🙏 Stay tuned for more parts of this beautiful journey! And don’t forget to subscribe to my channel, hit the bell icon, give a thumbs up if you liked the vlog, and leave a comment!
