India is a land of peace and spirituality. People from all over the world come here to attain spiritual knowledge and inner peace and the country lets no one down. Popular sages of all eras belong to the land of Ganga and Yamuna and the world respects our country for that.
Recently a Hollywood actress Avengers: Endgame star Evangeline Lilly also visited India and her life changed forever. Lilly came here for a vacation and spent her time in Delhi and Uttrakhand. Here she fell in love with the beauty and diversity of this country. She shared her experience on Instagram and wrote a long note.

If I can reflect one thing back at our broken society it’s that it is absolutely ludicrous to think we can eradicate pain through law. We must learn to be bedmates with our pain if we can ever hope to diminish its power over us. The way Western society obsessively wants to run from, or medicate our pain away is a root cause of our intense suffering. We pick enemies, places to put our pain, and then “fight” them – people, groups, dis-eases, mental afflictions – and all this “fighting” only further hurts us. We pick “causes” to get behind – environmental, humanitarian, political, economic, professional, personal – and then bury our pain in those, and burn ourselves out in the effort. I have done all of this. I want to “be with”. I want to “move through”. I want to become the wisdom I spout.”
Here are some more of her pics from her tour to India and the actress is clearly in love with our country.
