Words fall short for describing the actual experience that we underwent. Just making a humble attempt at penning down whatever possible, with Amma’s grace 🙏🏻
We were 10 of us and were eager to get a glimpe of our beloved Bholenath who is in Kashi Vishvanath Swaroop.
There were long long lines everywhere but by Amma’s grace, we got into the VVIP quota and we didn’t have to stand in any line at all !! We were directly ushered to the main place where the Lord resides in Jyotirlingam form.
And suddenly, there was only Amma and me in the sanctum sanctorum of Lord Vishwanatha!! All the noises around, the pandas (pundits) shouting, people shouting back, urging, praying, throwing milk, flowers, Vibhuti towards their beloved Vishveshwara, everything merged into the background. There was only the Supreme Lord, my beloved Shakti Amma, and me there. An unbelievable, unimaginable dream coming true. It was not in my hands, neither my thoughts nor my actions were mine. I had transcended into a different dimension !!!
I did milk abhisheka to the Lord. Then Amma bent down to touch the Linga, and I bent down with her, held her divine hand, pressed it on the Linga, and said – Please bless me, both of you. At this very moment milk and vibhuti thrown by other bhakts fell across our heads drenching us with the holy offerings. Is there anything else that is better than this in the whole world?Then I tore the Vibhuti packet and did Vibhuti abhisheka to the Lord. And then I thought we were done and we were ready to leave. But Maa said that she wanted to take the vibhuti. So she bent down and took the vibhuti. I also followed her. Only by this time the surroundings had started to surface and the existence of others had started to make appearance to me !!!
I was in total bliss.Thank you Amma for this blissfully divine experience !!!
