Random thought 101: Monkey Temple (Swoyambhu Nath Temple)

![IMG_20180907_115623.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfGkapAHGNZk3u1Rm7kQGWUC6H3qjH2814WuYej1tNmps/IMG_20180907_115623.jpg)Every morning, well almost every morning, I get up and jog to and around Swoyambhu Nath Temple (Monkey Temple); a small piece of paradise. This early morning jog fills me with spiritual energy, calmness and lightens my mood; there is truly something special about this place.

As I jog around the temple hill observing the ancient and not so ancient things around me, I often lose track of the real world and loose myself in my thoughts.

The mysticism this place has is hard to put into words; the sights, smells and noises all feel otherworldly.

P.S. Hello, this is my first post here. I am very happy to be part of this community. I wanted to include a short slow-mo video of the temple but d tube upload is not working for me, so will try to upload it next time. Thank you and have a wonderful day!
