Transport
In Kathmandu, not too many normal broad streets. Buses are usually overcrowded and routes them to us incomprehensible. They go usual taxis, rickshaws and motorikshaws. The first day we decided to ride on the trishaw from Tamela in Bodhnat to the Buddhist temple center. Rickshaw requested a huge sum of money, and we, after a long trade just cut it. The driver had two seats, covered with an umbrella. The road went uphill, and the poor rickshaw all out until you asked us to get off when the slope became very steep. So we are for their own money on foot a good portion of the road. A more practical form of transport - three-wheeled scooter, which carries passengers in the back seat. Scooter publishes a terrible roar that emits exhaust directly into the nose, but very neat way along the narrow paths and thus brings to the goal faster than a taxi. Everywhere give on rent bicycles, but in the dust and bustle unlikely trip to bisicle pleasure.Pashupatinat
Temple complex at Pashupatinat pere Bagmati - the largest shivaistic Center. On the west bank of the river are the main temples in the great temple courtyard entrance is closed to non-Indians, but the complex is clearly visible from the other bank of the river, and you can watch the funeral ceremony. Along the river are the pedestals for the pyre. In the temples - the house awaiting death, where old men come and live there for the last week under the supervision of astrologers, just defining moment of their death. To the north of bridge burning representatives of the higher castes, a special pedestal - for the members of the royal family. To the south of the bridge - the pedestals for the low castes. The burial ritual is quite complex, its correct execution contribute to a good rebirth in the next reincarnation. After cremation the ashes let down river. In the Bagmati, as in the Ganges, bathing for ritual purification. Ibid wash the dead before burial. Along the river let the things that lower catch yoga.
During the fires - the cave for hermits. By the caves suitable women and bring food. Under druguya side of the temple - a shelter, which are food poor and homeless. At a shelter in a luxury few - Indian temple in the form of candles.
On the other side of the river - 11 small temples of Lord Shiva with a lingam, backed by galleries Lingam and Yoni. Total combined 108 lingams. As we climb the steps to the monkey park, where hundreds of monkeys jumping and hang on branches. Pashupati - the patron of animals, so the monkeys have rustic temple complex. In the depths of the park on a hill - Gokarnatsky temple, guarded by police, banning tourists depart from the path of right and left, then to the river around the bend - a large complex Guheshvari (Temple of the vagina, where the men go. I pray lingams usually women), and in the other direction temple Vishvarut. At the entrance to the park on the terraces sit saddhu (yoga). Shivaistic saddhu - usually with horizontal lines on the forehead, are a trident in his hands. Saddhu not aspire to a better rebirth, and strive to comprehend the higher realms. These are not burned at the stake, as the others. All yoga - very raznye.Oni usually dressed in clean clothes, throws orange. Some demonstrate asanas and collect money from tourists, others quietly listen to the tape shivaistskimi hymns, others smoke Narcotic cigarette smoke and fly in the astral plane. Instead terraces - ground, usually a woman Mileham, holy man, eating only milk. Above him - sign in English "Here sits a great saint Mileham woman" with a brief biography. We did not find the old man, he went to Italy at the invitation of the students.
