Day 11 Pushkar 12th Nov 07

Not far from Pushkar is Ajmer. There we visited "Dargah Sharif" a sufi mosque and last resting place of Sufi Saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chiti. This is India's most important shrine for the Muslim. The day we visited the place was packed!!!!!. People come here for all religions for healing, peace and spiritual growth. The energy on this temple is extremely powerful.

I felt crushed and a wee bit claustrophobic when I was in the shrine as there were so many people inside. I said my prayers and asked for my wishes to be granted. As the story goes, the shrine has granted almost 99% of all worshipper's wishes. So stay tune to see if my wishes will come true. Whilst I was inside, I must admit that there definitely was an electrifying energy and powerful aura in there. I did shed a few tears whilst I was circling the shrine and getting blessed by the priests. What an experience and I am so glad that I am here in person to witness this.

We were the only Western foreigners there and what stares we got from the locals. No one could believe me when I told them I am Australian. I got called Korean, Japanese and one even called me Italian....belisimo bambino....Made in China???...No.. no.. made in Australia..yes.. yes??

It was back to Pushkar for the afternoon and more shopping at the bazaar. Leanne and I went back to the gnat on Lake Pushkar to see the place in daylight. We were there on the first night when we arrived. There we met up with another Brahman priest and this time we did a personalised blessings each.

Today is definitely a day of blessings and may all our wishes and dreams come true. May we all have a fullfilling and enlightening life.

This is our last day in Pushkar as we have an early start tommorrow to head south-westward to Mount Abu. I really loved Pushkar and rest assured that I will be back here again soon.
