Namaste to all,
During the Udupi yatra, I sincerely prayed to Ma to visit Indore (MP), which is my native city and where we are currently residing. Ma said that she would come very soon. I requested that she avoid the summer season as the temperature goes above 40 degrees. Ma said that it would be taken care of.
Within 8 days, we got a surprising call from Ma, that she is coming to Indore along with Champa. It was an unbelievable call; temperature was 40 degrees. We started the preparations for welcoming Jagruta Shakti.
The day Ma landed in Indore, it started raining and for the next 4 days the summer in Indore changed to cool winter weather.
Ma told us that she wanted to visit the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga, which is situated in Ujjain, 60 km from Indore. Necessary arrangements were made and on 28.04.2023, all of us fortunate bhakta gana got the opportunity to visit the temple with Ma.
After darshan, we were going towards the car parking and suddenly Ma stopped and smiled at a sadhu named Ram Das. He stretched his hand and Ma kept her hand on the Japamala he was holding which was 150 years old and it was gifted by his Guru to him. For the last 13 years he had been doing Narmada Parikrama (2500 km) with his bare feet. Ma blessed him by placing her right hand on his head and suddenly the sadhu started crying. He was crying and saying that his mother had arrived to bless him. He gave Ma his Japa Mala and Ma blessed it. Ma hugged him 3-4 times and the joyfulness of the sadhu was beyond words. The sadhu said that he was trying to leave Ujjain but he heard the voice of Mahakaal (Lord Shiva) saying “don’t go; Ma is here and she is coming to see you”.
Few people surrounded him as he was narrating his experiences with Mother and few tried to offer him some food but he did not accept anything. One guy got a cup of tea for him and that sadhu said that if Ma took a sip from that cup, then only would he accept it as prasad from Mother. Ma fulfilled his wish by taking a sip and blessed him with Padhanamaskar.
