Blessed Jaipur Trip

Jai Guru Ji
September, 2016





Me and my husband had gone for a 1 day trip to Jaipur without kids, for the first time in our marriage of 14 years.  It was indeed a blessing by Guruji to spend some quality time together and the programme was made all of a sudden.

We had no plans to do anything specific in Jaipur, just wanted to chill around at the hotel and decide then and there where to go in Jaipur.  But, Guruji had special plans to make our trip memorable.

On reaching Jaipur, while we were having lunch at the hotel, a waiter came and asked us how the food was and started conversing about the food at the hotel.  Suddenly, out of the blue, he said 'Please go to Nahargarh fort, it is best thing to do in Jaipur during sunset, you will be very happy'. I wondered why he said this, since we were conversing just about food, but I had a feeling that may be its Guruji's wish.

We went to Nahargarh fort and indeed it was very very beautiful.  Best view of entire Jaipur along with a beautiful sunset.

On the same day in the morning, I had looked for best restaurants in Jaipur on Zomato and found out 1135 AD, one of the fine dining restaurants and booked it for the evening. From Nahargarh fort, we headed for 1135 AD restaurant to have dinner.  There was some procession going on due to Muharram festival and because of it there was traffic jam and some areas were blocked.  We reached the restaurant after some time and was surprised to see that there were no guests in the entire restaurant apart from us.

The manager told us that many guests are getting delayed due to the procession. Meanwhile, they showed us the VVIP section of the restaurant which generally they dont allow without paying advance amount for the dinner.

Me and my husband were given special treatment that day, since we were the only one in the restaurant and we had lovely dinner.

Apart from us, no one could reach the otherwise crowded restaurant that day due to Muharram procession.  

Only Guruji made it possible and gifted us lovely memories to cherish.

Shukrana..Jai Guru Ji.

Aandey Raha Karo..

Jai Guru Ji







Guruji for sure knew that I was very weak emotionally and even more prone to going back in my shell, if not taken care of.  For this I needed to visit Bade Mandir frequently and seek his blessings. He ensured this by conveying message of  'Aandey Raha Karo' through his Sangat to me.

One evening, while I was having Langar at Bade Mandir, I started conversing with my fellow Sangat who was sharing Langar with me.  In between the conversation, the lady suddenly said 'Aate Raha Karo, sab kuchh aaram se katt jaayega (keep coming to Bade Mandir, things will be easy).  I thought that this is a message from HIM and was very happy.

Few days later, I went to Bade Mandir again.  I had taken one of my friends to Bade Mandir and she was looking for Jal Prashad to be taken home, for her husband.  Suddenly one Sewadaar told us 'Harr Thursday aaya karo, main aithe hi hondaa haan, Aandey Raha Karo'. (keep coming every thursday, I am here only, keep coming).

I was very sure that Guruji has conveyed what he wanted me to do and since then I visit (or try to visit) Bade Mandir every Thursday. 

Guruvaar for Guruji...Jai Guru Ji
