Not knowing anybody in India our trip to India needs lots of preparation, and double/triple confirmation on all types of bookings- experience we try to avoid. So no surprise that desire to visit Rajrappa temple seemed far fetched.Out of no where I came across this blog and found Santosh Panda's telephone info. After much discussion we called the number and somebody did respond.It was 'too good to be true' ride from there onwards. Santosh Panda was very warm, welcoming, courteous, encouraging and refused to discuss money ("Pooja is done for Ma not for money", he said). Too good to be true-so we were still skeptic. When we arrived he had everything ready for the pooja. He got our pooja done, arranged for somebody to take us around to show the temples,arranged for our food. Though it was his day of duty inside the main temple;he came out few times to check on us. He never talked about money (store owners were called to settle our accounts directly with them, which was not much...some pooja items, and we kept some amount aside for Santosh Panda which he did not even count), never asked where we are from or our names; he was just so happy being there for us.He made complete strangers like us, who do not even speak his language well, feel so welcomed and so much at home! We were so touched.To our thanks he humbly replied-"It is not me, it is Ma's doing".Santosh Panda and Mr Ashok's blog made our remote dream come true in such a beautiful manner.Our heartiest gratitude and prayers for both. Santhosh Panda's mobile # is 94-715-24964 but being in Temple most of the time he might not be able to answer his mobile. His mother answers his home tel 98-355-35743, she takes down message/tel info from callers and passes it to him (That is how we communicated).
It was a spiritual experience as well (though we do not practice any religion as such) We truely felt Ma's presence. Being there at 7am we skipped the crowd...but noticed that later people were lining up very peacefully; the temple room being small there was some push and shove - yet you get at once enveloped with this tremendous peace,all the goats brought in immidiately became quiet and started chewing the leaves and flowers kept as offering!We spent whole day in and around the temple soaking in the blissful mingle of peace and festivity. We were sad to see littering/garbage outside the temple (strangely no flies or insects) and reduced water in the river. Let us not forget that like namaskaras and poojas, keeping temple area clean too is a way of showing respect.
Ofcourse God is everywhere, but for ordinary people like us -can be felt with greater intensity in certain places-for us Chinmasta Ma's Rajrappa became one such place.
