The melting of the Siva Lingam in the Himalayas is a clear indication and the effect of Global warming. It is very sadful thing to be calm with the ciitizens and their duties. it is the time to save our planet and the responsibility of every environmentalist.. govt of all the nations. Rejuvination of the forests should begin. Other wise this culute which we think luxury in not at all at safe way. It is leading to the venomous results. So please respond. Go back to the forests...( Nature) Plant a tree... adopt a plant to save this planet... confine to real life...

Oops, you’re right. Sorry.

But he did write about 3 pages (if memory serves me right) describing how Aziz(?) went to go see it, but returned and triumphantly announced that Shiva’s Lingam had been melted…

on a cheerier note, it seems as if Lord Shiva is looking out for his devotees:

“Heavy rains and snowfall at various places along the track to the Amarnath cave shrine have once again forced suspension of the pilgrimage from both Baltal and Pahalgam routes. Official sources said today that snowfall and heavy rains had been recorded since yesterday afternoon at several places on way to the holy cave shrine from both shorter Baltal and traditional Pahalgam tracks, making them slippery and dangerous for trekking.”

or the state government has faked the snow :)

on an unrelated note, there were plans for a sufi music festival to kick off this year’s Amarnath Yatra for the first time, with Pakistani artists participating along with their Indian counterparts. i wonder if it was able to be held as planned.
