When you've invested your time, emotions & thoughts into something for months ---and you get to meet that very person/object, your feelings overflow! That's exactly what happened to me to be at ground zero - Shri Kashi Vishwanath dhaam. Months n months of thinking, writing & talking about the temple & of Vishwanath; & then to sit right in front of Him for a leisurely Rudrabhishek, remains an experience i will never forget all my life & the biggest reward for all the hard work...Tears welled up involuntarily as I got the fortune of bathing Baba Vishwanath with the choicest of ingredients. Knowing the history, the struggle, the sacrifices we've faced to keep the flame alive, automatically increases the love and devotion about the sacred space is what I truly discovered!

Visiting this place with dear brother advt.vishnujain who, along with his father respected Shri Hari Shankar Jain ji, have staked so much of themselves, to liberate this sacred space made it extra special & emotional. None of our eyes remained dry in this visit. Can't thank dear didi maliniawasthi enough for facilitating such a memorable darshan & puja.
Smt Prachi Jambhekar who has translated the book into Marathi with Maitreyi Joshi - Pratiksha Shivachi accompanied us, as did her husband Saurabh & dear brother echoopyyy_

We also visited the Gyan Vapi well, the Nandi in eternal wait, and the Vyas ji ka tehkhana that just got opened for puja due to Vishnu Ji's tireless efforts. 
We were welcomed by Mr Shambu, the SDM of Kashi Vishwanath temple & the English, hindi and Marathi editions of the book that were placed at Baba Vishwanath 's feet were duly submitted to the temple library.

We also visited Adi Vishweshwar temple (last video of this post)  in the vicinity, built by Sawai Jai Singh of Jaipur which stands right beside the Bibi Razia mosque, and offered prayers. Some consider this as the original site of the Vishweshwar temple. A visit to Kashi ka Kotwal Kal bhairav ji & the Nyayadhish Kapal Bhairav (Laat Bhairav) completed this deeply satisfying and unforgettable pilgrimage 🙏
