Thousands of gates, thousands of wishes.
Each carries a prayer, a name, and a story etched in the glow of orange light. Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto is one of those places where the spirit of tradition truly fills the air.

🌿 ⛪️Sameiro Sanctuary, Braga, Portugal
Where Heaven Meets the Earth ⛪️🌿

Rising above the hills of Braga, the Sanctuary of Sameiro is more than stone and faith. It is a silent hymn ascending to infinity.
Since the 19th century, this sacred place has welcomed pilgrims, prayers, and the quiet steps of those seeking peace in the heights.

Its stairways, flanked by statues and sculpted mysteries, form a rosary of art and devotion. Each panel, each chapel, tells the story of the faith that shaped Portugal a deep love for the Virgin Mary, Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception.

From the top of Sameiro, the gaze drifts between clouds and mountains, embracing the city of Braga and the horizon that seems to touch the divine.
Inside the temple, light filters through the colorful stained glass, and silence invites contemplation where time stands still and the heart finds rest.

Here, the sacred does not impose itself: it blossoms. 🌸

यथा दीपो निवातस्थो नेङ्गते सोपमा स्मृता ।
योगिनो यतचित्तस्य युञ्जतो योगमात्मनः ॥ ६.१९ ॥.

Just as a lamp in a windless place does not flicker, so the disciplined mind of a yogi remains steady in meditation on the Supreme.
(Bhagavad Gita, Ch 6, V 19)

> I visited one of the many Atago Jinja Shrines found throughout Japan. There was no one else around-just my footsteps, birdsong, and probably the sound of cars passing in the distance.

Walking through Wiñay Wayna felt surreal. These terraces tucked into the mountains, half-covered in mist, were even more impressive than I imagined. I could’ve stayed there for hours. It was quiet, green, and deeply spiritual.
