@grmindia: A European woman traveled to India to take part in one of the most sacred pilgrimage's for the Sikh community at Sri Hemkunt Sahib which is only available and open to worshippers for a few months of the year due to the intense weather. Sri Hemkunt Sahib is one of the most spiritually significant pilgrimage sites in Sikhism, not because a Guru lived there, but because it is traditionally believed to be the place where Guru Gobind Singh meditated in a previous existence before being sent by Akal Purakh to take birth on earth and fulfil his divine mission. This connection is described in the Bachittar Natak, where the Guru refers to "Hemkunt Parbat Sapat Sring" – a place surrounded by seven snow-covered peaks
