Dev Badri Shaligram*

After walking for many days, we finally reached a place called Pandukeshwar!
In the evening, we went to visit a temple there. The temple’s name was *“Yog Dhyan Badri.”*
Inside the sanctum sanctorum of the temple, there were many Shaligrams kept.
Looking at them, I felt, “How wonderful it would be if I could have one of these!”
The thought made me smile, but then I said to myself, “Ah, Lord, you’re reminding me again! This time I won’t forget. Once I reach Badrinath, the very first thing I’ll do is get a Shaligram!”

See how the Lord is—when you remember Him, He too remembers you just as much.
Sometimes we wonder, “Does God really listen to us?”
But these experiences show us that He is always watching and listening to us from within.
If that isn’t God, then who else could it be?
The One I’m remembering, whose name I’m chanting, He’s the One appearing before me in every temple!
And not just for me—He showers the same love upon all of us.
We only need to understand that love, to feel it!

But a human being fills his mind with so many thoughts, worries, and endless tasks—some for reason, some without reason—that he fails to grasp that divine love.

And so, walking onward, we finally reached *Badrinath.*
There we stayed in a small hotel.
Badrinath was the final destination of our pilgrimage on foot.
The temple was very crowded, so we decided to go for darshan the next day.

Among all the divine experiences of this temple and the entire journey,
this is just one—one moment that I’m sharing here.
Someday, you’ll find all my travel experiences in a book!

The journey came to a pause.
Now all that was left was to wait for the next morning…
*To be continued…*
