Rameshwaram, The Anchor of Indian Renaissance – 11

An old person, in his eighties, staying close to me in Mumbai rang bell of my home on a day and said, ‘I have brought prasad of Shegaon.’ (A holy place in interior Maharashtra) I took it with lot of gratitude and asked ‘Kaka (Uncle) when did you visit? and how? By train or bus?’ For I knew that both journeys are tough, especially at old age. To my utter astonishment he said, ‘I went barefoot, on yatra, with a group.’ So that means a new pilgrimage started, a new route, a new yatra started for the saint of Shegaon. People are not bothering whether it is said in old scriptures or not. They have that need, the feeling that they should go on a new route as well. Already many are going to Shirdi, Amarnath, Chardham, Kashi-Rameshwaram, Pandharpur, Shabarimalay, Kamakhya, and several other places in literally nooks and corners of the land of gods, India.
