If you come looking for heaven, to Sri Hemkund Sahib, you will certainly get a glimpse of heaven here but you will not find words to describe the divine theatre as it just holds you spell bound. The cool air will touch the mind and soul and carry the thoughts back to the time when Guru Govind Singh meditated here in his previous life. You will be happy that you did not find it necessary to pluck any or bring any from all the way you came from. The mystic call in this heavenly abode is not to pluck the flowers, but to save them for divinity and visit the shrine with a sense of complete surrender to the faith that Guru Govind Singh had initiated for the good of mankind. The Gurdwara Management trust therefore appeals to the visitors not to pluck the flowers.
And if you are looking for a fairy land, come to the next-door Valley of Flowers, which before its discovery was an exclusive home for the fairies. During the rains the entire area from the Valley to the sacred lake is bedecked with flowers and the air is permeated with divine fragrance. In fact Sri Hemkund Sahib and The Valley of Flowers are inseparable parts of that sacred domain where the Guru meditated on the shores of Hemkund lake.
Uttarakhand was always known for temples of Gods and Goddesses; it was just a divine coincidence that Hemkund Sahib was also discovered in a land which was already known for the sacred shrines of Sri Badrinath and Sri Kedarnath.
The entire valley from Govind ghat to Sri Hemkund Sahib and The Valley of Flowers is a unique chapter in our eco- system. It is our duty to preserve this heritage for posterity and work for its preservation by keeping the area clean and undisturbed with all sincerity and dedication
