Kedarnath has a lesson for us...Will we listen?

Everything in the vicinity of Kedarnath shrine -- the hotels, dharmshalas, shops have been reduced to rubble by a massive landslide. The only survivor is the Kedarnath Shrine. It appears as if the kedarnath Shrine, the God, has some lesson for us. A lesson we can act on, only when we are willing to listen. The lesson : Please don't crowd here.

Shrines like Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, Hemkunt Sahib and Yamunotri are in eco sensitive zones. These zones can't support human pressure. The government now, in no way, allow re-habitation of the areas around these shrines. All the shops, lodges, dispensaries must be relocated at least 10-15 kms down the trek.
