Chapter 56: Life on the Holographic Wings of the Maha Kumbh Mela

Being alone during the great festival for the Queen of Bali meant healing, liberation from everything, in the crowd she became invisible among all those unknown people, she felt the pain of their calloused hands that had worked hard for years and prepared for this festival, giving last diamond to attend the Maha Kumbh Mela.At the festival, the golden sun from dawn warms everything with the same glow of the spirit of unity, bringing a wave of change and hope for a better tomorrow.Here you no longer have a name, you have no code, even wealth cannot buy the freedom that is born only in the river Ganga.Anyone who loves outdoor festivals, musical performances know for themselves that this is paradise, freedom in the heart, a joyful atmosphere where everyone is a dear face to you, whose life has brought and led here to find peace in the soul, and love in the heart.A place where pain stops, water washes away wounds, and life flows in a new direction and we are all peaceful travelers who carry the hope of a brighter future and peace.Early in the morning, just before the sunrise, many yogis and ordinary people would gather, there was also a queen among them, repeating the mantras and words that they pronounced loudly, although she did not know the meaning, she felt that they were very spiritual.She was happy that no one recognized the Queen of Bali, she was free to live her life without the wooden mask on her face, and the very thought of it brought tears to her eyes.The older man next to her began to trace her face with white paint."Here this mask is much easier to wear, isn't it?"The queen was surprised."Are you telepathically reading my mind?""No, I don't use telepathy like some modern robotic computers that read minds as soon as they see a person's face.""I was just thinking about the mask.""I did feel it as if a hologram mask appeared before my eyes"."You either don't like to wear a mask, but it was a shield for you, this white mask I painted you with is also your protective mask, so that someone doesn't recognize you from the enemy.""But I have no enemies here.""You're right, you don't have any more.""If I look at your palm then I will know who your enemies were, that's why I won't look at your palm because you are immortal, your enemies have long since turned to dust, and instead of their victim, you have become the victor over time, which has no end for you.""Fantastic, I have to go anyway.""You are in the river Ganga every day; I notice that you are very sad.""You surely know why I am sad.""Maybe, I would be lying to you if I said that I don't know, but you as an immortal person have strength and power to overcome, and you are a brave woman.""You went through a long and dark tunnel in your life and became light for others who are suffering in life.""We all have our own shadows that we have not overcome with our thoughts or let go of.""So, you are also here to start life from the beginning.""Yes, from 0.""It sounds easy, but starting life from scratch is not like writing a book on a blank page.""Everyone writes their own unique life story, the course of the story is not determined by ourselves, but by the circumstances and the society in which we live.""How long are you planning to be here?""I will stay until the last day of the festival, " the queen answered. Are you going back to your hometown?""No, I would still like to travel to India to see the ancient cities.""So that's what I thought, you came to us from the past, but you are now exploring even more ancient times than yours, interesting because your past is connected to China.""That's right, I'm here to unite with my husband who is a Hindu. My husband respects my religion, and I want to get to know his religion better.""Nice, I have no words, I wish you all the best during your trip.""There is one place I would like to visit, and that is Diamond City, " he said to the queen."Rumor has it that it exists, others think it's a made-up legend, but something tells me you've been to that city, haven't you?"The queen smiled, "You will easily reach Diamond City, if you follow the route towards Indonesia, you will find that city as well.""Really, you've got to be kidding me, no one has managed to do that so far.""If I could, you will be able to because you are motivated to find that city.""If your goal is to help someone get to the city via the chosen route, if you are looking for the crystal of the lost Lemuria, you will also get lost in the endless jungle.""Good advice, I admire your spiritual wisdom.""But wouldn't it be wiser if I just follow you because you end up traveling to Diamond City?""It would be a waste of time to follow me, because I am on a long-term journey through other countries in Asia.""It could be cold in other parts of India even in early spring.""Thank you, I learned a lesson.""What about Diamond City, how is the weather there?""I am really curious.""I understand now, you are interested in Diamond City for your spiritual growth.Just right, not too hot, not too cold.""Sounds like heaven on Earth!"
