Raghav  Chaudhary looked at Mathuradas as he was the only Witness what had happened. Though he was a child that time but childhood memories are very strong. Mathuradas was known to Aghori Baba , in villages most of the people know important persons living there. Aghori Baba knew the history of Haveli and How it destroyed. Good Tantrik always support good souls and never support bad souls. Tantrik knows who is victim and if the victim is doing activities for revenge Tantrik works to stop him from doing such revenge activities. Such souls become very rude sometimes. It becomes very hard to control them or to break free from this unfulfilled condition.Aghori knew all the horrifying incidents happened in Haveli and he was Sympathetic towards Shamu . When Raghav Chaudhary described about all this incidents happened with Vishakha and her friends . He got worried and became thoughtful. He said ,” I will need Vishakha’s horoscope, you please send it to me I need to study the stars and how to get rid of the problem according to the stars . He assured to Raghav  Chaudhary that he will definitely solve this problem.——Continued ———

Raghav Chaudhary and Mathuradas both completed their works earliest possible and moved to Bheema’s house. He was ready to go to Nanhe’s village. He knew about the tantric Aghori Baba , no one knew he was and when he came and started living in that village. But all the people living around in villages trusted him very much and they used to come to him for solving their problems. He never asked money from anyone but whatever people were giving him he used to accept that. He was living in a small hut, he got busy in himself. He was seen many times going to Smashan for saadhna. He was never seeing  using Charas or Ganja type of socially prohibited intoxicated things . So people respected him trusted him and used to go to him without any fear. People were satisfied with his tantr mantr. Bheema was describing about Aghori Baba all the way. They reached to the village in an hour. It was morning and Aghori Baba was sitting on a charapai out side of his hut. He knew about Raghav Chaudhary, All of them wished Aghori Baba . He nodded his head and then asked them to come inside the hut. Inside the hut there were small muddas ( sitting stools made by cane plant) Bheema said “ I will wait outside “ he didn’t want to interfere in their private talks though he knew better it was all about Shamu. ——- Continued ——

Actually Vishakha didn’t remember what had happened yet that night when she was vanished from the fair and next day when her friends came and woke her up she was feeling dizzy and when she looked around she got surprised to see herself in the haveli’s same big bedroom they all found themselves sleeping exactly one year ago. That night they missed the last bus and this time she was not in that last bus . Deepa and her parents Vishakha’s Mummy Papa were there in that bus. Where was she ? From where she lost the way, She tried a lot but couldn’t remember. She thought she should get involved in studies so that she can forget everything what had happened that night. But this was not the end because every now and then Shamus’s presence was witnessed by her aur her friends and this time Deepa’s father and her Papa for the first time.

All girls so much involved in their own questioning and answering session they didn’t talk to each other and diverted to their own ways towards their homes. All of them wanted to shake those thoughts off they tried hard. When Kamla entered to her house, which was a little bit higher to the foot path and so after climbing five stairs there was an Aangan ( Open space ) and two sides of that was cow shed , there were two Buffaloes and one calf was tied there and in the sheds there were food tubs full of  hay straw and wheat straw were kept for them them , One big tub full of drinking water was also there. Out side the sheds also there was a tap for those who used to take care of these animals. As soon as Vimla stepped into the courtyard, she saw Shamu bending down to drink water from this outside tap.

The second one said “ Ya “ “ he is missing me so much “ Both were on bicycles and so moved ahead very fast. Vishakha felt shy , she saw her friends were also looking at her.

All the girls entered in Vishakha’s room and then continuously noises and loud sound if laughter was heard . Kusum felt relaxed. She cooked nice snacks for all the girls and Vishakha also was laughing and doing pranks as a part of the group. They spent a good time and then departed with the reminder promise of tomorrow’s school. After their departure Vishakha seriously thought about school. She took out her books and notebooks. She checked them if the homework was done or not. As we know Vishakha was a very intelligent student and always stood first in the class. She got busy for two hours in studies and then slept. At night when Raghav Chaudhary came back home Kusum told him about the whole day’s girls hubbub, she said that everything was ok after friends departure Vishakha studied for two hours, did her homework and Vishakha is sleeping now.

Raghav Chaudhary and Kusum Devi spent the remaining time talking about the incidents and the history narrated by Mathuradas .

Late night hardly had they closed their eyes when Pinku Parrot started squawking continuously, both of them ran towards Vishakha’s bedroom. They turned on the light . Pinku’s cage was lying on the side, Vishakha was sitting and just watching something. Both of them at first called her “ Vishakha Vishakha — then they shook her hard . She said “ What what — as if  came back from another world. They didn’t say anything and asked her to sleep. They took Pinku’s cage in their bedroom. They spent the whole night changing sides. It was good that next day was Sunday and Vishakha needs not to go to school. In the morning Raghav Chaudhary went to his lands for work. Kusum was trying to concentrate on house hold works . Vishakha woke up and was normal, She even couldn’t remember what incidents had happened after Someshvar fair. Kusum didn’t try to ask anything about that.

Both the men reached upstairs . Mathuradas also reached there when Bheema told him the details. Vishakha was still not in completely presence of mind. She was responding irrelevant to the questions asked by her mummy and friends too. In between the talks she was murmuring Shamu too . Her parents didn’t want the news spread all over the village. This was a very bad thing for a girl living whole night out of her home. Kusum Devi wanted her to sleep so that she can forget what hadp happened to her. So she first asked her to go and sleep in her bedroom then she offered tea to all the people gathered there and requested them not to spread this incident because mouth to mouth spread news loses its originality and becomes a vulgar meaningless entertainment for people. All the mothers and fathers promised them for that and they actually kept their promise. They were also daughters parents and their daughters were also once or twice saw Shamu and actually this was not a matter of Boyfriend or girlfriend type of thing but a ghost and its targets matter. After their going, Raghav Chaudhary and Kusum saw that Vishakha was sleeping a deep sleep on her bed holding the cage of Pinku her parrot . ———— Continued—-

Dharm & Darshan!! Nandi !!

 *एक रात जब पूरा उज्जैन सो गया और केवल महाकाल के मंदिर के नंदी महाराज जाग रहे थे?*

*उज्जैन की गलियाँ दिन में जितनी चहल-पहल से भरी रहती हैं, रात में उतनी ही शांत हो जाती हैं। महाकाल की नगरी में कहते हैं, रात को स्वयं काल भी विश्राम करता है। पर एक रात ऐसी थी, जब पूरा शहर सो गया, पर मंदिर के नंदी नहीं सोए।*

*यह सन् 2005 की बात है। कार्तिक मास की अमावस्या की रात।*

*मंदिर के वरिष्ठ पुजारी विष्णु भट्ट, उम्र 72 वर्ष, उस रात मंदिर में ही ठहरे थे। अगले दिन सुबह विशेष भस्म आरती थी, इसलिए वे गर्भगृह के पास वाले विश्राम कक्ष में सो रहे थे।*

*रात के लगभग 1:30 बजे, उन्हें घुंघरुओं की आवाज सुनाई दी। पहले उन्होंने सोचा, कोई बिल्ली होगी। पर आवाज लगातार बढ़ती गई — जैसे कोई बैल धीरे-धीरे चल रहा हो।*

*वे उठे। उन्होंने खिड़की से झाँका।*

*मंदिर का प्रांगण चंद्रमा की हल्की रोशनी में नहाया था। दीये बुझ चुके थे। पर नंदी मंडप में... चमत्कार हो रहा था।*

*नंदी महाराज की पत्थर की मूर्ति में स्पंदन हो रहा था। पहले उनकी पूँछ हिली। फिर उनके कान फड़फड़ाए। फिर उन्होंने अपनी गर्दन घुमाई और सीधे विष्णु भट्ट की ओर देखा।*

*पुजारी की साँस रुक गई। नंदी की आँखों में जीवंत चमक थी।*

*नंदी बोले, "विष्णु, डरो मत। बाहर आओ।"*

*पुजारी काँपते पैरों से बाहर आए। उन्होंने दंडवत प्रणाम किया।*

*नंदी ने कहा, "तुमने 50 वर्षों तक मेरे स्वामी की सेवा की है। आज मैं तुम्हें वह रहस्य बताऊँगा, जो मैं हर रात करता हूँ।"*

*पुजारी बोले, "प्रभु, आप तो पत्थर हैं... आप जीवित कैसे?"*

*नंदी हँसे, "पुजारी, मैं पत्थर नहीं हूँ। मैं संकल्प हूँ। महादेव ने मुझे वरदान दिया था — जब तक उज्जैन में धर्म रहेगा, मैं जागता रहूँगा। दिन में मैं पत्थर बनकर भक्तों की श्रद्धा ग्रहण करता हूँ। रात में जब सब सो जाते हैं, तब मैं अपने असली रूप में आता हूँ और पूरी नगरी की रक्षा करता हूँ।"*

*इतना कहकर नंदी उठ खड़े हुए। उनका विशाल शरीर, सफेद वर्ण, गले में घंटियों की माला। उनके खुरों से जहाँ-जहाँ वे चलते, वहाँ-वहाँ कमल खिल जाते।*

*उन्होंने पुजारी को अपने पीठ पर बैठने का इशारा किया। पुजारी डरते-डरते बैठे।*

*नंदी आकाश में उड़े। नीचे पूरा उज्जैन सो रहा था। क्षिप्रा नदी चाँदनी में चमक रही थी। महाकाल मंदिर का शिखर स्वर्णिम आभा से दमक रहा था।*

*नंदी बोले, "देखो पुजारी, यह मेरा नित्य का कार्य है। मैं हर रात उज्जैन की परिक्रमा करता हूँ।"*

*पहले वे श्मशान गए। वहाँ कई आत्माएँ भटक रही थीं। नंदी ने हुँकार भरी, और वे आत्माएँ शांत होकर महाकाल में विलीन हो गईं।*

*फिर वे क्षिप्रा के तट पर गए। वहाँ एक बूढ़ी माँ अपने बीमार बच्चे के लिए रो रही थी। नंदी ने अपनी साँस से उस पर भस्म छिड़की। बच्चा स्वस्थ हो गया।*

*फिर वे एक घर के ऊपर रुके, जहाँ एक व्यापारी आत्महत्या करने जा रहा था। नंदी ने उसके कान में कहा, "धैर्य रख। महाकाल तेरे साथ हैं।" व्यापारी रुक गया।*

*पुजारी ने यह सब देखा और रो पड़े।*

*नंदी बोले, "यही मेरा धर्म है। महादेव ध्यान में रहते हैं, मैं पहरा देता हूँ।"*

*फिर वे मंदिर लौटे। नंदी ने पुजारी को उतारा और कहा, "यह बात किसी को मत बताना, जब तक तुम्हारा समय न आ जाए।"*

*पुजारी बोले, "मेरा समय कब आएगा?"*

*नंदी बोले, "जब तुम्हें मेरी घंटी की आवाज दिन में सुनाई दे।"*

*उस रात के बाद, विष्णु भट्ट बदल गए। वे हर रात मंदिर में रुकने लगे।*

*ठीक 3 वर्ष बाद, महाशिवरात्रि के दिन, दोपहर की आरती के समय, उन्हें नंदी की घंटी की आवाज सुनाई दी। उन्होंने महंत को बुलाया और यह पूरी कथा सुनाई। और उसी शाम, "हर हर महादेव" कहते हुए उन्होंने प्राण त्याग दिए।*

*आज भी, उज्जैन के लोग कहते हैं* *— जब पूरा शहर सो जाता है, तो नंदी महाराज जागते हैं। वे उज्जैन की रक्षा करते हैं।*

*नंदी धर्म के प्रतीक हैं। धर्म कभी सोता नहीं। जब अधर्म बढ़ता है, तो धर्म जागता है। और महाकाल के भक्तों को डरने की जरूरत नहीं, क्योंकि नंदी जैसा द्वारपाल उनकी रक्षा कर रहा है।*

 *"जय नंदी महाराज,जय श्री महाकाल"*

Both of them got scared and started running towards the village. Shamu had marked his attendance several times during the day, this was witnessed by Vishakha and her friends. They didn’t want to take any risk. Raghav Chaudhary was so scared as if Shamu was running behind him. Prakash Ji was also running fast. Both were middle aged persons but running like young boys. Horde’s neighing and sound of  Utensils clanging was now subsided. They saw Bheema was coming from the front in taxi. He got surprised seeing them there, “ I was just coming “ Both of them were panting and couldn’t reply. Bheema opened the gate and both entered inside the taxi . He turned back and drove ahead. No one was speaking. Bheema dropped them within minutes in front of Raghav Chaudhary’s house. He didn’t stop for fair and drove back to home.

They entered and saw the huge bed on which they themselves found slept one year ago. Vishakha was laying on it with a smile on her face as if she was dreaming. Deepa shook her slowly then hard, Bheema and Prakash Ji were behind the girls. Vishakha opened her eyes and saw Deepa, she asked her , “ Why have you come here ? Don’t you remember our last year’s horrifying experience. “ Deepa didn’t want to explain or clarify her anything actually she herself was feeling scared remembering the night one year ago, and she wanted to go out as soon as possible. She pulled Vishakha and said , “ Come on let’s go home” she literally dragged her and came out of the gate Kamla Manjula & Vimala followed them along with Prakash Ji and Bheema.

When the three persons were discussing about this they saw a bullock cart was rapidly coming towards them. It was owned by Mathuradas and the rider was Radheshyam, he used to buy cheap vegetables for Mathuradas to sell in the market direct from farms. But this time the cart came and stopped near them and Vishakha’s all four friends jumped down from that Deepa, Manjula Vimla and Kamla , all the three men looked at them and asked why they are here ?

Actually that day we missed the last bus and decided to go walking to the village while a bullock cart rider offered us to drop . When we climbed up the cart GOD knows how but we all slept and in the midnight Vishakha woke up and she saw that we are in a grand bedroom she silently woke us up and when we reached at the main door Shamu was standing there and he shouted and ordered us to go back.

Today’s tip : Who am I ??

 *Who Am I?*

After retirement,

with no job,

no routine,

and a quiet house echoing with silence…

I finally began to discover my true self.

Who am I?

I built bungalows,

raised farmhouses,

invested in ventures big and small,

yet now,

I find myself bound within four simple walls.

From bicycle to moped,

bike to car,

I chased speed and style —

but now, I walk slowly,

alone, inside my room.

Nature smiled and asked,

“Who are you, dear friend?”

And I replied,

“I am... just me.”

I’ve seen states, countries, continents,

but today,

my journeys stretch

only from the drawing room to the kitchen.

I learned about cultures and traditions,

but now,

I simply long to understand

my own family.

Nature smiled again,

“Who are you, dear friend?”

And I said,

“I am... just me.”

Once I celebrated birthdays, engagements, weddings in grand style —

but today, look forward to having slept well and feel hungry 

Nature asked once more,

“Who are you, dear friend?”

And I answered,

“I am... just me.”

Gold, silver, diamonds, pearls —

sleep quietly in lockers.

Suits and blazers —

hang untouched in wardrobes.

But now,

I live in soft cotton,

simple and free.

I once mastered English, French, Hindi —

but now, I find comfort

in talking in my mother tongue.

I travelled endlessly for work,

and now,

I reflect on those profits and losses —

measured in memories.

I ran businesses,

nurtured a family,

built many connections,

but now,

my dearest companion

is the kind neighbour next door.

I once followed every rule,

strived in education —

but now I finally see

what truly matters.

After all of life’s highs and lows,

in a quiet moment,

my soul whispered back to me.

Enough now…

Get ready,

O Traveller…

It’s time to prepare for the final journey…

Nature smiled gently,

“Who are you, dear friend?”

And I replied:

O Nature,

You are me…

And I am you.

Once I soared in the skies,

Now I touch the earth with grace.

Forgive me…

Give me one more chance to live…

Not as a money-making machine,

But as a true human being —

With values,

With family,

With love.”

 _To all ‘Seniors' out there; wishing you love, strength, and peace._

While returning back suddenly Bheema said ,” Why don’t we check in the Haveli ?? “ No no not there immediately Raghav Chaudhary said. Actually his mother Shalini Devi always avoided the questions asked by him about haveli throughout his life.
