My first KUMBH SNAN


Hi my dear friends. I m here to share some of the glorious and unforgettable movement of my life. I have no idea from where to begin but any how i m starting my first blog.
The morning of 12-2-2010 was some what different for me as i have my fast of Shivratri so me and my 2 friends ankit and kanha have planned to go to temple early in the morning.Though in the hostel life we get up late specially on holiday but today we got ready by 6:00a.m. We went to temple with Ber and Agarbatti in our hand for worship, though as young we were also thinking of metting girl in the temple.

from there after preying we returned to hostel and take a cup of tea. then ANKIT who don,t used to see t.v. much proposed us to see t.v. When we opened it we saw first news about KUMBH MELA in Haridwar and in the next moment we have taken aan imp. decision of our life. We have planned to go to Haridwar and decided not to tell anyone. In the next few hours we were in our way towards Haridwar. We enjoyed whole of our journey joking with each other.
By 3:30 we reached
Haridwar but due to security reasons it took 4:30p.m. to reach HARKI PERI. We were surprised by the no. of devotee came there in this holy place. One of the main attraction was the processions of different AKHADAS though we could see only one of them. Then we took a bath in river Ganga, a holy river which is a symbol of eternity and devotion for Indian as well as foreigners. After wandering here and there we attended the aarti of evening which was again awsome there were devotee all around us. Whole of the place was very calm and the most important thing was that everyone was feeling a different kind of peace.There is something great and special about the place.
Now we were completely tired we have no idea what to do. So we have decided to search for room for spending night. But being a so famous event no room was avaialable. So we have decided to leave for hostel on the same day. we want to stay for more and to see other temples also but conditions were not in favour of our desire and due to fast we were also feeling exhausted. Since the train was at 12:30a.m. we decided to walk for some more time. We waited for almost 3hrs. at the platform and there was also too much crowd at the station some of them were passengers while others have came there in search of a place for spending the night. When train came we rush towards it and finally got a sit, thogh not comfortable but better than nothing. By 5:30a.m. we have reach to the station. From there by catching tempo we reach to our hostel. All of us were so tired that after taking breakfast we got sleep for the rest of day.
It was the unforgettable day of my life. We took the shahi snan of kumbh without any planning. I request to all of those who have not visited Haridwar to go there atleast once in life not because i have gone there but there is something special about it and it gives a peace to mind which we desire to have in day to day life.
