- By: Manoj Gupta, 2008-03-27

Introduction

Rajasthan is considered to be the essence of India. It is a place of beautiful forts and strong impenetrable palaces. The sun is scorching to its full extent in the land of Rajasthan. But there are also shimmering lakes popular for its tourist destination. The Thar Desert spreads throughout Rajasthan India not stopping to encroach by time. Rajasthan is in fact the second largest state of India almost similar to the size of France. Even though it is a dry place it was a prosperous place at one time in history. Many foreign countries from all over the world approached Rajasthan in connection with trade and commerce.

Wild Life

The fascinating state of Rajasthan in India is not all about its magnificent architectural masterpieces and colorful people and festivals, but the state is home to some of the finest national parks and tiger reserves of India, including the world-famous Ranthambore National Park, Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary, and Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary etc.

Honeymoons

Rajasthan offers a good range of options to honeymooners. Celebrate the most beautiful moments of your life with your life partner in the ultimate romantic ambience of luxury heritage hotels in Rajasthan on your honeymoon. Experience the royal comforts and pleasure while staying at enchanting palaces and splendid havelis (mansions) of Rajasthan that have been converted into luxury heritage hotels. Enjoy candlelit dinners, courtyard barbecues, dips in royal swimming pools, and walk together in beautiful gardens, promising an unforgettable experience for you and your partner.

Prime Attrraction in Rajasthan

Rajasthan is rich in architecture and is a delight for all kinds of tourists with its sandy dunes, mighty forts, lush blossoming gardens, shimmering lakes and outstanding monuments. The medieval zeal of honor among the Rajputs rings true in Chittorgarh Fort, men and women alike, while the romantic reverie hovers over the island palaces of Lake Pichola. One can almost see the shy royal ladies chuckling to see the royal procession on the roads of Jaipur, unseen and safe behind the screens of Hawa Mahal. The religious fervor of the staunch devotees at Dargah Sharief at Ajmer and Shrinath ji at Nathdwara is no less than the grandeur of City Palace of Jaipur and astronomical wonders of Jantar Mantar.

Fair and Festivals of Rajasthan

The lively spirits of Rajasthanis manifest themselves in the form of myriad festivals of this desert land. They counter the harsh life and rough weather of the arid desert region by celebrating a festival for each and every reason that they can lay their hands on, whether it is a religious occasion or a change of season or ripening of a harvest. The tourist department of the stated adds to these traditional festivals by introducing new festivals to showcase the heritage of the region. Rajasthan has all the usual Hindu and Muslim festivals that are celebrated in India, spiced up with the very special local fervor as well as a number of festivals of its own.

Redeem Thyself by thyself !

Redeem Thyself by thyself
Condemn thy Self not !
The Self is one's enemy
As well as its bosom friend !


The intellectual is antinomic and dual
The Heart is not ! It is Absolute
That explains the reason why
Bridal Mysticism is extolled !

The great poets of yore
Extolled this Mysticism as the noblest
More nobler than the Intellect's path
Or the path of Action divine !
Extolling the Absolute Beauty which Thou art
With love Universal, ineffable
Is rewarding, as Self is actualised
Effortlessly, all glory is Thine !

Work is Worship, duty is divine,
Thus sang the Yogis of Karma
But its result is distant and remote
The Upanishadic Wisdom divine
Is difficult to comprehend !
As it is defining the Indefinable
Limiting the Illimitable !
Its concepts are abstract & abstruse
Vague to the intellect ordinary !

Hence the greatest path
Is unalloyed love for Thee, Bhakthi !

May I identify with the Universal "I"

O Bliss and Conscioussness Absolute,
Dont let me identify with the little "I"
May I identify with the Universal "I"
May I identify with Thee !
