Have you ever heard of a temple, where the 'prasad' is not allowed to be taken outside the premises but consumed right there? Have you ever heard of a temple,which attracts lakhs of people everyday?
I am talking of Mahudi Temple. This is a famous Jain temple near Gandhinagar on the way to Himmatnagar. My company-LetsNurture had declared leave on Saturday of last month, due to some reason. Being a holiday, I took this wonderful opportunity to visit this wonderful temple.
I started the journey with my parents and uncle. We reached the destination in just about 45 minutes. Being early morning, we did not face heavy traffic.
The temple is known as Mahudi temple. It was built many years ago by acharya Shri Shri Budhhisagarji Maharaj, a Jain saint. To my surprise, I found my boss of my company, Mr Ketan Raval, also there with his family. He was having the famous Sweet of the temple known as 'Sukhdi' made of pure Ghee..
As per the famous legend, devotees are not allowed to take the sweets to their home or outside the premises. After paying respects to the Tirthankars, I started enjoying the Prasad with my family. Gradually, lots of people started coming in and the place became crowded.
We had to leave early, so we went back home. I would surely like to say thanks to my boss, who not only gave us a holiday from our office, but also offered his help to give me a lift in his car.
