00:00We used to be at Shivpuri, Ibrahampuri, Kauriala, Kanataal.

00:05These are all places ahead of Rishikesh.

00:07Then even at Chopta, Kedarnath, as you would wind higher up on the hills.

00:12And it was a very distinct and repeated experience.

00:17Especially the Upanishads would appear so straightforward, so commonsensical, so intuitively true.

00:26After midnight, in total darkness, on the banks of the Ganga, up on the hills.

00:32I'm not talking of the Ganga of the Rishikesh Ghats, up on the hills.

00:35With not even a single dot of light around.

00:39I'm talking of electricity.

00:41No man-made light or sound, nothing.

00:46Total darkness, clear canopy, only the stars and the moon, possibly some fog.

00:51And there is the Ganga and the sound of the flow.

00:54And you sit besides her, with your little lanterns, right on the sand, not on chairs.

01:00And it became so much easier for me to teach in those moments.

01:05And those who have learnt from me, there, in those days, in those moments after midnight.

01:11They just learnt.

01:12I could impart more to them than I probably can in this high-tech setting.
