Saw the Kanheri caves at National Park, mumbai today. Quite a few miles from the entrance the caves lie at the border of the only forest in the heart of a metropolitan city in the world. These caves were carved by monks between 1B.C and later. The most remarkable part about the caves are that there are over a hundred of them on the hills, all of them carved into rock by hand. No explosives, no fancy machinery and do-hickey things just god-provided tools, a few man made tools and a whole lot of faith. Its remarkable the strength faith can give a man. The entrance to the main cave has two Buddhas that i read somewhere to be only seven feet high while in reality they are almost twenty feet high. A civilization of monks driven by faith carved the most spectacular buddhas into rock, carved over 100 caves into a hill, lived there braving the elements, carved their messages of faith into rock hoping that future generations would read them and maybe find the path of peace. However the language lies forgotten, the carvings fade into obscurity and the handful that do know what it means dont take the trouble to put it up. The message lies lost in time but what I wonder more about is that if it had been put up would we have found the time to understand and implement it.Scary isnt it? Every few years a man discovers a truth, its a fad for a few years and then its lost in the annals of time and all that remains is a rehashed version of the truth once said. freaky and not to be taken seriously for i am just babbling under the influence of weariness.
