Nisha Rathore / Udaipur. It is becoming difficult these days even to step out of the house in the scorching sun in the month of April. And for the welfare of the world, a saint is doing penance in the afternoon. There is Gopeshwar Mahadev Temple near Khakhar village of Jhadol subdivision in Udaipur, near which a saint is doing severe penance for three hours daily in the afternoon. However, in Kalyug, the stories of saints’ penance are rarely seen and heard. In such a situation, this penance of the saint has become the center of attraction for the people.
Doing penance in the hot sun for 15 days
Saint Tulsigiri Maharaj is doing Saptagini Dhuni penance in the ashram for 15 days. In this austerity, he does austerity sitting in the open in the middle of the scorching sun every day from 12 to 3 in the afternoon. During this, seven fire pits keep burning around him, in which he also offers sacrifices of various medicines. This penance is being done from Bholenath for the welfare of the world.
Penance will last for one and a quarter months
Pandit Govind Shastri is engaged in the service of the saint. Told that after continuous penance for one and a quarter months, grand Bhandara will be organized for three days. Along with this, there will be many other rituals including Akhand Ramayana. During this, many saints from far and wide will also participate. Here, a huge crowd of devotees has gathered to see the penance of the saint and to have darshan. Saint Tulsigiri Maharaj has observed a fast of silence since January 11, which continues unabated. For the first time, penance is being done in this way. Maharaj will also break his vow of silence only after the completion of the penance.
