Today I was having mixed feelings. I was really happy because we were going to Gujarat with some pilgrims of our city. I was happy because in the journey I was going to pass Badauda where shooting of my favoirate serial was going on. I was really hoping to meet the hero who I really liked a lot..he was kind of my first crush.
We begin our journey soon. We passed through the beautiful landscapes of the trip and came across a sugarcane field. At that time they were preparing jaggery and the smell although was dreadful still we can't help but reach out to the place where jaggery was being prepared. We were lucky that the worker their was so giving as he let us all taste the jaggery and it was so tasty..freshly prepared hot and so soft that it melted easily in our mouths. He also provided us with sugarcan juice.
After drinking it to our hearts content we all thanked the worker of the field and made our way forward. With us their was an elderly lady who knew of a lot of Vedas and puranas. She always sang the glories of Lord and was an ardent devotee of Lord Krishna.
She would dictate one of his leelas to us everyday. I personally was never a religious person. AII though I believed in God but I never tried to give time to his worship,chanting his names or anything special.
My nanaji used to narrate me the tales of Lord and read me his books as bed time stories so that was pretty much my knowledge on God. When shakuntala ji narrate the leelas of lord krishna I tried to imagine them..and thats how I found myself thinking about him a lot but still my only dream was to meet Rajat tokas my favorite actor and crush at that time.
We finally reached Dakod after 3 days journey and visited the temple of Raja ranchor ji. The temple was reverberating with the voice of Gujarati verse.
MANDIR MA KON CHEE
RAJA RANCHOOR CHEE
that meant Who is in the temple.. Raja ranchor is in the temple.
The temple was filled with so many people that there was hardly any space to breath. My mother gripped my hand tighty and we finally reached in front of the deity.
Though the deity was decorated with so many jewelries the main attraction of the temple Was the diamond that was present on the chin of the lord. As I reached in front of Idol I prayed to him that he blesses me in meeting my dream guy..I wanted to meet Rajat tokas so desperately.
After his darshan we started towards Dwarka. When we reached Dwarka we all moved towards a Dharamshala. Dwarka was a beautiful city. At that time I didn't know that Dwarkadheesh is another name to Lord Krishna.
I didn't even know that Krishna actually lived after Killing Kansa. And I was quite amazed that Krishna is considered The all attractive Lord allthough he had dusky features.
So basically I was in for completely new experience. I wanted to meet Rajat Tokas and was waiting eagerly to reach barouda.
