My God (!!! Or ???)


                Its been more than 6 months since I wrote my last post in this blog. Feels great to be back :) This time I have something different to say about in my blog. You would have guessed the topic seeing the title, yes its about GOD. Well I am not a philosopher or  not that spiritual to talk about it, but this is just one of my experiences which I would like to share.
                It was about a week ago, I had been to a trip to Maharashtra with my family. One of the places was Shiridi, famous for miracles(don’t expect one…) There, we had planned for an early morning darshan so left early without breakfast. Since it was a weekend there was a mad crowd. Well I was just enjoying the atmosphere, the crowd initially, but later realized I had more than enough time to enjoy those since it would take at least 2 hours to come out of temple. I was initially enjoying, and then normal, then tired, and was finally fed up. At one moment I started cursing myself why I was there. May be I said or did something which I was not supposed to… Because, after sometime the situation went worse... I started to feel hungry and soon started sweating and dehydrating, in middle of huge crowd where I could not come back. It did not stop there, I felt I was losing energy and in minutes, almost blackout. I was not able to see anything properly even though my eyes were completely normal.
                I had only one thing to do but pray. I started praying asking to give me energy (yes it sounds very hypothetical ;)). But after few struggling minutes, a guard standing in a corner came and opened a gate right  next to me and asked to take that route as well. I was first to jump off before the rest did and we all went in that new path without any disturbance till the main shrine. Within minutes we had Lord Baba’s darshan and were outside temple. Everything happened so fast that I was thinking if it was not a dream.
                Then I started to recollect everything which happened there. Was that something which I should account for out of so many incidents I will be witnessing? It is obvious that I get tired and go blackout if I did not have my breakfast for that long time… It may be a coincidence that the guard opened the new gate when I was right in front of that…
I could say it has nothing to do with god and can find scientific reasons to everything that happened there(and you would definitely find one…). But at some point, I feel there is something in between all these thinking… Something which is beyond thinking… something which is watching you… listening to your unspoken words… judging it… and returning back to you ;) People say it’s the specialty of that place... May be… but I think my experience was… worth blogging :) ;)
