Trin.....Trin... Hello! Miteshbhai? What's your program for tomorrow? We are going Vadtal tomorrow morning. Are you interested?
Mitesh: Ok, I will be ready at 8:00 morning.
Next Day
In Fortuner car, with good fortune and we friends started our journey towards Anand. Almost at 9:45 AM we reached to Anand. We crossed Anand and reached one small village - Mogri. I had never heard about this village before so I was bit curious to know. Vadtal was out of scope as well as out of mind as something new was there.
We reached at Anupam Mission almost by 10:15 AM. Huge gate, then straight road, green surroundings, peaceful environment was there. We parked our vehicle and got down. Before we ask anything one elderly friend (Saint) came to us and told please take tea and some breakfast first. It was like hypnotism - without any argument we went where he asked as to go. We were warmly welcomed by two or three another elderly saints in side the hall. We sat on sofa for 5 minutes by the time they arranged breakfast and hot tea for us. By the time Ratikaka came and asked us about our reason for visit. That was our first interaction but we did not felt so. It was like he knows us since long time. We gave our very brief introduction. He said we are happy to have you all here. I uttered, Ratikaka, it's our good fortune to be here today.
Then we were received by our new friend, Dr. Mukesh Bhagat. We exchanged greetings and gifted our books to him. He took us to temple first where Ratikaka requested us to pray together. Dr. Mukesh showed us part of the Anupam Mission's activities. We went to his office and had an interactive session. We discussed lot many things - very interesting topics - Mid brain activities, meditation, peace, progress, health, human pollution (mind well-not human population), religion, different "Sampraday", "Firaka" - reason behind such bifurcation of various region, human belief and what not.
It was almost 12:00 so we went for PET PUJA. There was huge hall with tables and chairs. We enjoyed Satvik Bhojan - Khichadi, Kadhi, Rumali roti, Sabji, Papad and deshi liquor (Chhas).
Then we went for walk and enjoyed different gardens - Mango trees mainly.
We sat under one of the oldest Mango tree for almost 1 hour and took photographs. Some of them are here on top of the article. You can see the happiness on my face of being at this place.
Again we went to Dr. Mukesh's chamber and sat for another 2 hours. One of our friend presented his thought about water impurity, power of radiation etc. We teased him too much but we were enjoying only. Finally at 16:00 hour tea came. We enjoyed tea and left the place with beautiful memories.
We decided to visit the place again and I asked Dr. Mukesh that if I wish to bring my group here for one day visit then is it allowed? He happily invited all of them.
Finally via Vadtal we started our journey to Ahmedabad. We enjoyed "Vidur Niti" audio during return journey.
Great fun with great friends.
