Yesterday's visit to Bade Mandir


This post is actually more of a satsang that describes how our bachha is bonding with Guruji.
Like every week, this week too we went to Bade Mandir ( yesterday). Bade Mandir is our Guruji's mandir and Devaangi is his blessing to us. Devaangi has been going to Guruji's place ever since she came home (she was just 2 days old when we first took her to bade mandir!!)
Across all our visits to bade Mandir we have observed that bachha is really a very well behaved there. She doesn't create tantrums or shor sharaba there like many other children of her age.
Par kal ki baat hi niraali thi. pichle kuch dino se bachha is irritable. Maybe it is because she is teething. As a result she doesn't go to any one. Par mandir mein all that changed.
I sat in the verandah outside the main hall with bachha while papa was away at sewa. To keep her occupied, I gave Devaangi her squeeze toy. bachha took the toy and promptly threw it away and then turned towards me to give a big smile (Devaangi is now a days in a habit of taking things and throwing them down).
While the shabads were on, bachha was busy playing quietly. Itne mein her Chavi aunty came and she took bachha in her laps. Woh Devaangi jo aajkal kisi unkown ke paas nahi jaati, immediately went to Chavi aunty. Itne mein mantra jaap started and bachha promptly became quite. She sat quietly in Chavi aunty's lap during the mantra jaap while holding aunty's finger in one hand and staring at Guruj's picture nonstop. Pretty surprising especially since bachha met aunty after couple of months aur is age mein bachha agar kisi ko ek hafta naa dekhe to bhool jaata hai.
par yeah to shuruaat thi. When ma and papa went for langar, there they met Pal aunty who offered to hold Pucha while maa and papa had their langar. Aur kya tha aap maanoge nahi Pucha Pal aunty ke paas bhi chali gayi :-) :-) she was quiet in Pal aunty's arms.Par jaise hi maa and papa ka langar khatam hua, Pucha ki nazar maa pe gayi and she started crying.
Moment i held her, pucha became quiet. uske baad papa went back to sewa while bacha continued to be with me all the while playing merrily.
jab hamare jaane ka time aaya and we went to the main haal to take aagya, Pucha was in papa's arms. Jaise hi hum main haal mein ghusse, Pucha's eyes fell on Guruji's picture that is there on the right side of the hall and immediately she started smiling and jumping in papa's lap as though wanting to reach Guruji. We then came back home and on our way back hum yahi baat kar rahe thi ki ise kehte hain Guruji ke saath direct connection.
