Transformation For Me, by Utpal

June 23, 2013

June 21 “I was the youngest to attempt and complete the race in 2005.”  That year when Sopan first came here to run the 3100 mile race he was only 24 years old.  I ask him what he remembers about himself at that time, so many years and miles ago. He laughs at just the thought of this absurd question.  “No really.  After my first race I changed so much.  I cannot remember.  My first race was such a huge transformation for me.” So I ask, over these past 8 years what then has he become.  His simple answer, “I hope better.” Read more

Day 6, Pranjal

Archived – click Post Title to view all. This is the end of day 6. Yesterday I made video of our  first 2 hours of the race – you will see it in 2 minutes on the background of my report – enjoy! Today I felt better then yesterday. Only in the evening I felt tired, but this is always like this in the race. It’s difficult to grasp how hard the race is. You push your body to the edge, you feel a lot of pain, you are tired. Still there is some place inside you, where you could feel quiet and feel peace. You could draw energy from this place. Even if your body is hurting and you think you can’t endure it any more, still you receiving energy from within. At least that is what I feel. Probably this is the reason why people are running this race. When you touching the edge of your abilities, your endurance, of your courage of your strength, then you are entering into new world, which otherwise is very hard to find. There you could find things that you could even not imagined. Today many people have tough day. Atmavir was ok, he just told me that he did 70 miles – it’s great! Yuri told that day was hard for him, at the evening he was tired and really sleepy. Anyway he stayed until the end. He is really tough guy. Asprihanal – for him running is really like drinking a glass of water, today he was really fast. I spoke…

Searching For God Within, by Utpal

June 19 “Today I had a very good meditation and I am very happy.  It was a regular half an hour but on the run.  It was amazing I never had it before.”  Sarvagata is still very much glowing from the experience.  The morning is perfectly still and the dim glistening brightness of dawn is now opening up to reveal a full wide sun bright morning.  I feel very much that I have somehow come along at just the moment when the door to his heart is wide open and I have stepped by chance into some sacred still place within him.
