Day 1

Do you know what's this? Na?

No worries, I'm here to tell 😅

.

This is a way to start a journey (Yatra) of Mata Vaishno Devi, where Auto or Cab drops you.

.

This is where your belongings or sometimes Yatra Parchi was checked.

.

After go through with scanning you are done to start your Yatra.

Anyways, I still have to continue because Yatra beech me nhi chhodni chahiye (We can't leave our Journey in between).

.

So, after the checking there is main point from where you can choose your way like from which way you want to start your journey there is a new way started from the starting point itself and the asusual one where we all were went through in past.

.

Apart from shops, family, friends, couples, temples what I really enjoyed are these cute creatures.

.

And the same question as usual; sometimes from shopkeepers where I had to stop for some refreshments or sometimes from families who told me to take pictures of them that why I came alone and that is also for Darshan (Holy Darshan).

.

Phewww, what should I say?????

.

I said l love to come alone to meet my Maa (Mata Vaishno Devi) 😜

.

And then we all laughed 🤣😂🤣😂

Oh beautiful creatures ❤️

The Yatra is about 10kms from Banganga Point (Starting point) till Bhawan (Main Temple of Mata Vaishno Devi).

.

So, what you gonna do if you go alone, yeah yeah you also want to enjoy your journey, pray that your wish come true, asking for your well being of family and friends...

.

Yeahhhhh, I did the same but apart from that I also play with these beautiful but certainly a notorious creatures I found cute after dogs.

.

Noooooo, I didn't play chasing game n all, I just feed them at many points through my journey and just continue with my journey.

.

One thing, which I realised is that after dog of we found any creature which is very playful and notorious are the monkey's, isn't?

.

Plus we can found them in any spiritual place throughout India, if you don't believe me just try to figure it out in your next spiritual trip to any place, you won't be disappointed 😉👍

You know what's the best time to start your Yatra (Journey), I would prefer the second half and ofcourse I have many reasons.

.

Here I can tell you the reasons, why 😉

.

• You can witness the beautiful sunset from the mid of Yatra.

• People prefer to go early morning so that they can return by night or late night. But in the morning you witness the more crowd that is also my reason to prefer to go around second half.

• The journey in second half always the better option for pilgrims. If you start your journey in second half you can witness this sparkling and shining Katra Valley from enroute to Mata Vaishno Devi Bhawan. It's looks magical in real🤩.

~~Will give the last and most important reason in my last post of Journey of Mata Vaishno Devi😉~~

You can forget about sunset 🌇, beautiful lights at night 🌃 or early Sunrise 🌄 or less crowd 💃

.

But the most important reason for me to start my Yatra in second half of the day is to get Darshan of Mata Vaishno Devi at Brahmmurat (The creator's hour).

.

It is believed that Brahmmurat is the most sacred time period lies between 3:30am - 5:30am (time will change as ler the sunrise, one and a half hours before sunrise—or more precisely, 1 hour and 36 minutes before sunrise is called as Brahmmurat).

.

This is the time where your wishes, prayer and meditation becomes 10 times powerful and will be fulfilled if you pray between this hour. So, now you know my reason or secret too 😉 that why I always preferred to go at second half and get the Darshan of Mata Vaishno Devi during this time. It's feels so relaxing and calm during this time that I didn't even feel my body ache due to the trek/hike of 10kms.
