8. Ms. Mystical
[Guys, this is happening in kaliyug after shree's timetravel. Many changes happened because of her time travel and she is a goddess. She built some temples too which are not found in kaliyug before her time travel]
"That idiot talked with me last night, and promised that she would meet me in this evening at the SKR temple but now, we are searching for her without a clue about her last known location. The security cameras have no trace about her S-she promised me we three together along with Krishh go on a tour across India soon. She can't be this irresponsible! You k-know what happened with my cousin Shresta, the days are not good. I am lost. I am not ready to lose another friend in my life..." he sobbed.
"Wait! but day before yesterday she asked me to come there (temple) in the evening then why would Shree call you and ask you to meet her? What if she is at the temple?" Kavya asked with a ray of hope in her tired eyes but that hope faded away with his words "I don't think so, may be she forgot about the plans with you. Kavya, its getting late, better we leave now to the hostel. Come, I will drop you" she agreed with him and decided to leave but before that, he asked "Does Sathvik Krishna know about this? Today he also didn't come to the college and his parents are in Bangalore right. I don't know how he will react after he comes to know about this. And why didn't he come to college today? Didn't he tell you?"
She shrugged in 'no' and replied "Nope. I totally forgot about him today and he didn't answer my call. May be his fever didn't cool down. Hmm idiot, may be he overstressed himself for exams. And let me tell you, doctor said he is exhausted. I will call him later"
"Fine" he agreed. and they continued to depart.
They reached the hostel soon as it is not far away. She got down and handed over the helmet to him.
Kavya spoke "Shashank, I don't know why......but I feel we need to go to the temple."
Shashank ignored sounding "pch Kavya, seriously?"
"Yes. We can go there and pray for Shree, my instincts are never wrong. Only this one time after that I will not bother you. Please Shashi, please!!" She pestered him like an exact own sister.
Shanshank: *still thinking*
"Will you come or not?" She demanded for a quick response.
He finally answered "hmm, Shree also likes that place. Okay lets go. But keep that bag in the room and come down quickly in 10 minutes."
Kavya said "Okay I will be back in a jiffy."
Kavya went into her room. She saw a sticky note that states "Don't forget to visit SKR temple" She freshen up, tied her high pony and went downstairs. After a ten minutes journey they reached the ancient temple which is said to be one of the most mysterious places on earth. When they entered the temple they witnessed many people seated in front of the western wall. Shashank is in no mood to pay attention to that, he was only thinking about Shree.
On the other hand, Kavya wants to cheer up her friend. She took him near the garbha griha. They joined their hands and prayed. A white man with red hair, looks like a Russian; came there and asked the priest about the specialty of the temple. Shashank and Kavya stood there, listening to the priest.
"This temple is the only temple in the world where Lord Ram's youngest brother Shatrughan and his wife Shruthakirti are worshiped. Also known as Shathakirti Raghili temple. Honestly, I don't know why it is called like that and their meanings which are out of Sanskrit. Here we celebrate of Dasarathi Shatrughan's and Mata Shruthakirti life values.
Shatrughan and Shruthakirti are known for their loving, calm and supportive nature; they are good parents and administrators too. According to a legend, Shree Aranika Devi elder daughter of Lord Ram built this temple in honor of her Uncle and aunt as they brought her up since she was a toddler while Lord Rama and Mata Sita are in Vanvas for 14 years. She is often linked with the phrase "Like father. Like daughter" because both of them fought with enemies at young age.
Lord Ram fought with Taadaka at 14 years of age with respective to dwija [spiritual birth] but his biological age was 25, on the other hand Shree Aranika Devi was 5 year old spiritually but 16 years old biologically, according to Ramayan, she inherited many qualities from her father.
There are three more Raghunandana temples in India, one in Jammu which is dedicated to lord Ram, that is the largest among all four but now it is impossible to reach that temple because of the tough route.
That area is densely covered with snow and closed centuries ago; even helicopters cannot reach there and there are no clear satellite images too. The second one is dedicated to Dasarathi Bharat and Mata Mandavi which is located in Gujarat and that third one is in Arunachal Pradesh which is dedicated to Dasarathi Lakshman and Mata Urmila.
The specialty of this temple is, hundreds of years back when an invader king tried to demolish this temple, as soon as they started to break the entrance, all the men who had an intention to destroy this holy place died. That too not normally, when the invader came here to check, he witnessed the dead-bodies in blood shed. This happened to many invaders, that's why most of the temples aren't destroyed.
That ignorant king repeated the same the next day, all the soldiers and workers died. The workers bled from their ears, nose, mouth, fingers and toes that too without a single cut on their bodies!
All these temples except the one in Jammu, have same type of building plan and similar architecture. That temple in Jammu is mentioned in Mahabharat and said to be very big and magnificent. The carvings only differ as they are related to three different couples. And in Mahabharata, that temple was described beautifully. And one more thing, here those old bells don't ring at all!"
The foreigner asked "Sir this is interesting but could you please tell how they died? and who killed them?"
"Hmm, nobody knows how they died but people believe that, as lord Shatrughan is sudharshan chakra, they say his soul killed them. To be honest, no one cracked this mystery." the pujari replied.
"Sir, can you say something about Aranika Devi?"
"Yeah she is a wonderful woman. Being daughter of lord Ram, she was absolutely a gentle human being and a caring person, a princess who is loved by the people of Ayodhya.
she fought a single handed war at a tender age of 16. The cause of war and her life is also an interesting tale. Raamatmaja Aashtami is also celebrated in Bhadrachalam too.
Back to the topic; Devi Aranika was deeply attached to her family, here also characteristics of her father. She was a learnt scholar and a warrior trained under Maharshi Vasisth and Brahmarshi Vishwamitra and later under Parushuram for most years. Mostly she is called as Raghavi rather than Ramasutaa because she is also considered as the eternal daughter of the four Raghili couples.
Raghavi took care of her grandmothers and gave good company to Kaikeyi after King Dasarath's death. Every morning when she was a kid, she took blessings of Urmila mata who was actually sleeping. And she was one of the rare kshtriya students of Sri Parushurama.
Valmiki Seetharamaayan says that when she was born, her first cry was so loud that her grandmother Sunaina Devi got scared and made sure that she never cry again but destiny has another plans for her, Aranika's life was filled with sorrow and heavy responsibilities all the time.
She was an excellent archer alike her father and a brilliant swordswoman. According to a legend, she rides a divine black horse and posses some illusionary and magical powers. She is described as deva kanya and she is stronger than Ravan because her past life Karma.
Being daughter of Adi Narayan and Adi Lakshmi avatars she was a powerful person. But there is a contradiction, her younger brothers weren't that powerful exception for her immediate younger brother. I will tell about him later.
But it is true that she know that Lord Ram was an Avatar of Vishnu and also predicted the declination of kshatriyas by the end of dwaparyug. She promised her father that she will never fight a war for power and authority, therefore she didn't fight in the Kurukshetra war, she didn't break her promise anytime. If she fought, the war might have ended in less than 18 days but the thing is she must fight against the pandavas if she participated. She knows Lord Krishna is her father, I mean Vishnu Avatar and he is Rama.
Amazing thing is that, she didn't age at all ! she was described as beautiful, tall and virtuous person who remained like 25 year old throughout her life.
There are many stories related to her. She is also celebrated among feminists and symbol of female rights since decades. She is a poet too."
"Sir what happened to her later, whom did she marry? did she rule any kingdom"
"I wish I could say many things if they were explained more clearly but she is a mysterious lady, there is no mention of her death; well, it is believed that she wanders among the people who recite the name of Rama but no literal proofs exist. She married the Prince of Mahishmati, he was an absolute definition of gentleman. They lived a happy marriage. Later after thousands of years she comes into the play in dawparyug.
The timelines contradict with the life span of humans in that era. She is not a chiranjeevi so she might have died in Dwaparyug itself (Ram died at end of tretayug) or According to legends, she still might be alive along with Anantha Lakshna.
Some dumb-heads say Aranika Devi is just an interpolation and some say she is adopted, some say she is Durga mata and some say she is just form of Vishnu like Radharani is form of Krishna and there exist some idiots who say she returned like Draupadi and married the pancha pandavas. In one phrase She is an unsolved mystery in the history"
" Sir, why is the temple decorated this grand? why people are sitting in front of the that wall" he asked.
"I am coming to that point only, It was written on the western wall that it will break without any caused-damage or force. This area's stala puran [place history] says that, the wall is 'Wall of Secrets' and something will be revealed today about the mysteries of this temple as it was sculptured on the bow of Dasarathi Shatrughan that on today's nakshatra, thidi, masa and year, that wall will break for sure. That is why many people are there; reporters and historians also came here. That area is protected and you may go and sit there. We don't know if the theory is true or not but if true, that's for good. Go and take the seat before anybody occupies them"
"Thank you so much sir, you are really a man with knowledge and patience. Thank you for giving me a lucid explanation of the temple. NAMASTE"
"Namaste"
*At another mandir*
Kavya and Shashank joined their hands to salute to the goddess of the temple. Her statue was beautifully carved and looking magnificent. She is holding a spear in her lower right hand, her upper right hand was holding a bunch of lotuses and lower left arm was holding a bow and upper left , she was holding a sword. She was decked up with a lovely blue saree and golden ornaments, she was crowned with a magnificent gold crown and seen wearing nose ring. She was adored pearl necklaces and gold ornaments from top to bottom of her statue. She was as beautiful as a swan in a lotus pond. A pujari did puja and bringing the prasad out of the mandir.
"Om Namo Narayanaya!"
"Jai Shree Aranika Matha!!!" the devotees sounded in unison. Many devotees were praying in front of her.
Shashank: praying in mind: Devi, please make my wish true I don't know what happened to Shree, we love her a lot. You are known as the goddess of reunion and courage, I don't know if you can hear me or not. But please help us to find her. Shree loves you a lot, please help me or else ask your father and mother help us please.
Kavya: praying in mind: I know that you love everyone and protect your devotees. I am hella worried about Shree, please help us. In a week we must give our exams, don't know if this guy write well, I believe police trace out her soon, lord Vishnu protects her and I know nothing happens to her. Please help him pass this exams without any worries, we worked a lot to reach this stage, I don't want anything to disturb him. Devi Aranika, bless us with our friend.
Kavya: come, lets go and see the wall.
Shashank: do you believe that really happens?
K: It is not a request, its an order. See your face, it has lost its glow and your eyes will swell if you cry once again. We reported to the police also, Shashank I am not happy with your face. Shree will return safe and sound. Sarenaa? (Okay?)
S: mmmm
K: Narayanaya!... Aree rara babu!( hey come on dude)
S: CoMiNg....
Kavya held his hand and led him to the western wall. They took their seats on the benches and were waiting for the miracle to happen.
