Bholenath came in a dream… a young man from UP left his job and set out on foot to visit 12 Jyotirlingas
You might have seen many devotees of God, but you might not have seen such a devotee of Lord Bholenath. This devotee of Bholenath is amazing. When Lord Bholenath came in his dream, this devotee set out on a walking journey to 12 Jyotirlingas. He developed such devotion towards God that he left his job to have darshan of God.
This is the story of Manish Rajbhar, resident of Siddharthnagar, Uttar Pradesh. He has set out on foot on a pilgrimage to the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Bholenath. Manish Rajbhar, who reached Jamui after a month and four days of walking journey, was given a grand welcome by the devotees.
Be it women, children or elders, everyone performed Aarti of Manish and showered flowers on him. Many people even touched his feet. As soon as Manish reached Jamui, the entire area echoed with slogans of Jai Ram and Bharat Mata ki Jai.
Manish used to work in Pune, left it
During this, ‘Aaj Tak’ had a special conversation with Manish Rajbhar. Manish told that he used to work in a company in Pune, Maharashtra. During Diwali, he had gone with his friends to visit Bhimashankar Mahadev Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Bholenath.
During this time, he became so attached to Lord Bholenath that now Lord Bholenath has started residing in every part of him. Manish told that one day Lord Bholenath appeared to him in his dream. After this he left the job.
The journey of Jyotirlingas will be completed in 3 years
He has set out from his home on 18th January to visit Lord Bholenath’s 12 Jyotirlingas along with all the big temples on the way. According to Manish, he will be able to complete the journey of 12 Jyotirlingas in about three years. Manish said that God cannot be seen without suffering. He completes the journey of 30 to 50 kilometers on foot every day.
Manish said that we did not even know the route to Bholenath’s Dham. But now they are showing the same path and walking on the same path. Sometimes food is available on the way, sometimes not. In this journey of one month and four days, food would have been available only for about 10 days.
At night sleep in any temple of Bholenath or Mata. If you wish to get wealth, then God listens quickly. Anyway, in Deoghar, Bhole Baba listens quickly. But, this journey of mine is not for the desire of money. I want to find God. Wish for the prosperity of the country.
Manish has visited these places till now
Manish told that he first traveled to Ayodhya from his home. After having darshan of Ramlala there, he had darshan of Vishwanath Baba in Kashi. After this reached Sasaram in Bihar. After having darshan of Maa Tara Chandi there, he went to Vishnupad of Gaya. After having darshan from there, we are going towards Sultanpur. From there we will fill water and go towards Deoghar. He also praised PM Modi and said that Sanatan Dharma is being protected during the tenure of PM Modi.
