10 TIPS ON HOW TO RETAIN YOUR BODY HEAT
DURING THE WATERY & CHILLING WINTER ADVENTURE
Note: What prompted me to draw up the following list was news of a foreign tourist’s intention to visit Goindwal Baoli this winter and to dip repeatedly in the icy-cold river Beas at the foot of its 84th step. What proved to be even more awe-inspiring and touching were first-person accounts I came across. These were tales of courage, faith, determination, humility, suffering and even miraculous cures at Goindwal Baoli, experienced by pilgrims who had accomplished the 84 step ritual in one go (a feat that takes up 10 to 20 hours in stiffening cold), and by others who had abandoned the quest midway. I sincerely hope my piece will contribute in some small measure to making such pilgrimages physically more bearable for participants without, however, denying them those divinely powerful, powerfully divine ‘aha’ moments that the victorious at Goindwal have so eloquently written of. I also trust that visitors to Goindwal who follow these warmth retention tips will enjoy equal opportunity for attainment of Moksha/Liberation from the 84,00,000 cycles of life for ultimate unity with The Divine, as goes the belief associated with the ‘stepwell’ at Goindwal Gurdwara.
1. Ensure you’re in top shape: Prepare for the challenge by exercising weeks in advance (regular walks, deep breathing, yoga/Pranayama etc.), getting adequate rest and sleep, eating wholesome/nutritious meals and drinking plenty of water. Avoid alcohol, tobacco/nicotine and caffeine.
2. Consult your doctor: Some medications like sedatives, tranquillizers, anti-depressants and cardiovascular drugs lower the body's ability to respond to cold.
3. Set off on the pilgrimage with a calm, spiritual and devotional frame of mind.
4. Carry along the following items of clothing/bathing in a waterproof bag: a woolen cap, two light-weight towels in quick-drying material and a fluff blanket, at least two to three sets of fairly loose, lightweight, inner and outer wear in warm yet water-resistant, wind-proof, breathable, quick-drying materials. Cotton would be a definite no-no. Down, while wet, serves no purpose.
5. Have at hand a flask containing a warm, sweet beverage for frequent consumption, as well as high-energy foods containing carbohydrates, proteins, fats: energy bars, chocolates, nuts and raisins, jaggery (gur), roasted grams (channa), toffees, peanut butter are good options.
6. Keep as much of your body out of the icy-cold water as possible and well-covered, while bearing in mind that areas of the body most susceptible to critical heat loss are head and neck, armpits, sides of the chest, and groin. Dry yourself and change into dry clothes whenever convenient. Avoid any form of unnecessary exercise between dips/immersions.
7. Use H.E.L.P. (Heat Escape Lessening Position) whenever the going gets really tough: Hold your arms tightly against your sides and across your chest, pull your legs together and up towards your chest. For performing HELP on the cold, wet steps at Goindwal Baoli, carry along a 2 x 2 foot cushion/pad made of closed-cell foam, for sitting on.
8. Massage your body with Vaseline prior to immersion, and with mustard oil once you’re done with all immersions. Cover yourself with the fluff blanket whenever the cold feels unbearable.
9. Use the ‘Buddy System’ with fellow-visitors to keep an eye on each other for warning signs of hypothermia.
10. Last but not the least, use visualization techniques to make believe you’re happy and warm: see yourself sunbathing on a Goan beach, riding across Jaisalmer sand-dunes on camel back, sitting before a roaring log fire in Manali or glowing under a celestial light … one of these imageries is bound to work!

The most exciting aspect of Kuttanadu is the Kettuvallam (traditional Houseboat) which has become the most popular tourism product in India today. In a land as water bound as Kerala it wouldn't be an unusual sight, but for a visitor to God's Own Country a houseboat gliding along the vast green expanse of the backwaters is the most amazing spectacle in the world. Even more enchanting is a holiday in the houseboats of Kerala.
A cruise along the palm-fringed waterways of Kerala in a luxury houseboat is the most enchanting holiday experience in India today. In a world gifted with beauty, you will skim past ancient Chinese fishing nets, water lilies, lush paddy fields, coir villages, rustic homes, temples and coconut groves. A guided tour down the backwaters would provide you with a complete and most enchanting experience on the back waters of Kerala and will also reveal to you some interesting facts about the life of local village people. There is a Kerala that lives along these backwaters throbbing with its own unique culture. For you, as a visitor to Kerala it can be incredibly different and unusual experience just floating in the backwaters in a country craft.
