Three Months Ago

Rajasthan ,

Shiv Shankar ko jisne puja,

Uska hi udhaar hua

Ant kaal mein Bhavsagar mein uska veda paar hua,

Shiv Shankar ko puja kro

Dhyan charno mein iske dharo,

Har Har Mahadev Shiv shambhu.

With this melodious tone the Aarti got end.

A girl turned back held a Aarti plate in her hand. She gave Aarti to allpersons. After gave the Aarti she kept the Aarti plate near the shivling and standing while her hand in posture of Namstay.

"Vaidhanshi beta tum." Pandit ji said to see a a girl who is standing while Namstay posture.

She came near to Pandit ji and touched his feet.

"Kush raho." Pandit ji gave her blessings. Vaidharthi smiled and stand in front of him to bow down of her head.

"Kaafi dino baad aayi." Pandit ji asked her in his sweet tone.

"Ji woh time nhi mil rha tha aur aaj toh aana hi tha aaj savan ka pehla somvar hai na." She answered pandit ji with a smile.

(The misery you are suffering now , the more misery have been suffering who gave you this pain. Just wait for a trip. Your Mahadev sent him only for you. Yes , you both will far away for short time but never will seprate from each other.)

Pandit said in his mind and again came in temple.
