It was the year 2021. I had gone to Haryana in connection with my child’s wedding. One evening, we were all sitting together, chatting casually. Suddenly, my child said with great enthusiasm, “Babaji, there is a very beautiful Hanuman temple nearby. There is also a very large and magnificent idol of Lord Hanuman there. Let’s go there today.”

Without thinking for a moment, I smiled and said, “Yes, why not… let’s go right away.” There were about seven or eight of us in total. Everyone got into the car and we set off toward the temple. Throughout the journey, there was laughter, conversations, and light-hearted discussions. During that time, I was also sharing some of my thoughts with everyone about the future and the changing situations in the country and the world.

After some time, we reached the temple. From a distance itself, the विशाल (grand) statue of Lord Hanuman was visible—majestic, serene, and filled with an incredible energy of its own. As soon as we entered the temple परिसर (premises), the first thing we saw was a temple of Goddess Lakshmi. I said to the children, “Whenever I go to a temple, I feel as if God opens the doors of grace and personally invites us inside. The same will happen today—you’ll see.”

We all went inside with devotion, had darshan of the Mother, and then came back out. The darshan was complete, but deep within, I felt as if something was still incomplete. Then, in a light-hearted manner, everyone said, “You said God invites us inside… but today no one called us!”

I remained silent at that moment. I smiled outwardly, but within, a question arose—“Why did this happen?”

There was a subtle silence in my heart… as if waiting for an answer.

And just then, suddenly, a voice came from behind—“Please come back!” We turned and saw a priest calling us. We all went to him. With great simplicity and warmth, he said,

“Sit inside the temple of the Mother for a while and offer your prayers. Ask for whatever is in your heart.”

Hearing his words, my heart filled with emotion. It felt as if the Mother had truly opened her doors—just a little late, but with complete grace. Among so many people, the Mother had called us… to sit close to her. This was not just a coincidence; it was an experience—a realization that when faith is true, the call surely comes… at its own time.

We all went back inside the temple. This time, it was not just about darshan, but about a deep connection. We sat before the Mother—calm, still, and completely surrendered. In that moment, there were no words, only feelings. Whatever was in our hearts, we placed it at her feet.

And then I understood—

God always calls us…

We just need the patience and faith to recognize that call.

Victory to the universe! Glory to Bhole Baba!
