Pyramid International Valley, Bangalore

Sleep is unconscious Meditation.

Meditation is conscious sleep.

Pyramid International valley, the word vibrated my ear drum a quite many times. My wish to see the spectacular place was touching the upper threshold.

Pyramid valley, located almost 35 Km from city center and almost 25 Km from JP Nagar, is famous as a meditation center and also considered as one of the 7 wonders of Bangalore. Pyramid is considered to be the most stable structure which have high concentration of energy. The energy concentration rises more when it is a full moon night.

It was another aimless weekend. Started as usual with a lazy attitude where most of the day time gone in washing cloths and arranging for some feast. Late in afternoon my friend told me that he will be going to pyramid valley since it is a full moon night and also Budhha purnima. I did not gave another thought. Full moon night falling in weekend was the coincidence would be tough to repeat again.

I started biking from 7PM since 8PM the program would be starting in Pyramid valley. It would take one hour to cover 35 Km since it is on highway, I guessed. I slipped in my biking gloves, helmet and my jacket, filled petrol on the way and headed toward pyramid valley. As soon as we crossed the city limits and entered village side, pleasant breeze of air and a full moon night made the journey awesome.  Stopped at some hotel to refuel ourselves and started again. We took some snaps on the way. The smell of village soil in Harohalli made us feel that our destination is near.

The program and meditation was arranged in night. There were good number of people we could have ever imagined since it was far from city. We took time to roam inside the valley. A few minutes walk from main gate was located the mouth gaping Pyramid structure. It was looking unbelievably beautiful. We took time taking snaps from different angle.

We were curious to go inside the pyramid. It was big spacious pyramid and almost 200 people can sit inside at a time. There was a elevated spot made in the center of pyramid and was named as intensive meditation center. If you are going on top of elevated place you must meditate for 30 minutes. It could accommodate almost 40 people at a time.

We came out and tried to explore some more places near by. One aged person was sharing some of his ideas on meditation and was discussing the benefits and methods of doing meditation. We were not much interested in that. So we went inside pyramid directly and sat on the intensive meditation stage. We sat continuously for almost 2 hours. Watch was showing 1:30AM when we came out. the appetite rose again. We found one small shop just outside the premises to munch something.

We were thinking what to do now. It was almost 2am. We went inside pyramid again. The pyramid got unexpectedly over crowded. Baba's talk on meditation was over and whole crowd moved inside pyramid. We looked for some place to stay in night but got nothing.

We had no choice but to drive again in moon lit night. 2AM with no one on the road, holding bike accelerator at maximum all the way was again a nice moment of driving. Only unpleasant experience was our street dogs barking and giving a threatening look as soon as we drew near our house. It was nice trip, nice meditation experience and nice biking experience indeed.
