Bhakti Vs Business
THIS IS A REAL LIFE EXPERINCE WHICH I WANNA SHARE, WHICH HAPPENED IN TULZAPUR and I WAS THERE WITH MY FAMILY N MY COSUIN WHO GOT MARRIED DAY BEFORE.
& HERE WE GO.........
TULZAPUR:
Situated in Maharashtra which is few km's from solapur. The holy shrine is hugely famous for it's FEEL BHAKTI FACTOR. AMBA BHAVANI being a KUL DEVTA for most of maharashtrians on friday's n weekends people all over from north specially from pune n mum flow here and the places turns red on these days(not joking at all !!! ) as a ritual followed oil n red kumkum are mixed and are used as a holy oil which spills over all the place n Makes all roads RED n greasy.
As our traditions demand, newly wed couples are supposed to visit TULZAPUR, So following the tradition, I had gone with whole family with my cousin n his wife, who is newly wed.
Lemme give you an outlook of why exactly why we go to tulzapur n what we do:
First of all it's a compulsory ritual for our family coz we are KULKARNI'S.
Secondly we go inside the temple, take ashirwad of poojari n come
Outside the GARBHA GUDI and there's one more ritual which is called GONDHAL, which is performed for nearly 2hrs.
I had been to Tulzapur a year back, but this time it was special, because I experienced lots of changes in the place n also huge changes in how Businesses were taking shape...n it was surprising!
The procedure before we meet amba bhavani -: -
Tring Tring phone rings, n lady picks up n says kaun?
My uncle says I'm Mr.Kulkarni from Gulbarga, can I speak to Mr. Devgoankar?
Devgoankar comes on phone, hello.... Me dev bolte, Namaskar My uncle says Namaskar, we are 20 people we will be there t 12.30pm Afternoon...
Devgoankar: fine no problem, I'll arrange everything, u can come down.
---------- Mr. Devgoankar -----------
One of those 100's of poojaris who fill their pockets by arranging and helping people like us who come to see Devi maa, so that we can get a quick DARSHAN of amba bhavani which is in garbha gudi, which otherwise takes at least 3 hrs in a really loooooooooooong queue.
They'll get us a backdoor entry, which is common, now a day in everything. And the result you get a really close n long glimpse of Devi Ma's idol, which can never happen when you follow a open door Entry. You literally wont have even 2 sec's to get a glimpse of devil ma because there are 100 others who are waiting for the same glimpse for 2 sec's.
First mission is accomplished; move on to GONDHALI, which is supposed to take 2 hrs is done in 15 min's, u know even the procedures are tailor made (in TEMPLE), u want it n you get it, just like that! All because of growing number of bhaktadi's who dont have time but have lots of BHAKTHI in them.
After his quick flick of drama, now the real one starts off that's the PANCHA PAKVAN food, which consists of POLI which is a major contributor n most important to god as well. The food is prepapred by wife of same poojari who was with us from the time we stepped inside the temple n till we reach his home.
The food is not compromised on quality because it's first presented to Devi ma n then to us.
There are no words to describe how efficiently n neatly they prepapre n present the food to GOD n to us.
They have mastered the art of prparing exact amount of food needed for 20 people (in case of our family) n believe me r not, there's not even single grain of rice which is wasted, they are perfectionist.
So by all this experience I can only say that where there is lots of BHAKTI ther’s also Bussiness in full fledge.
& HERE WE GO.........
