The Spiritual Journey

ॐ नमः शिवाय!

The spiritual journey is not by visiting many places of pilgrimage but the actual spiritual journey is a three and a half feet journey beginning from the base of the spine to the apex of your head, which takes more or less 14 years, preparation, execution, and harnessing the results or fruits.
