My Previous Birth as Shiv Bhakt

Sharing one of my previous birth…

The small glimpses of another lifetime lived, was both exciting as well as stunning.

The feel of another era, another time-zone, of another body was fascinating.

It took time for me to adjust the eyes of my mind and consciousness to be able to view my past. The emotions were dancing with uncertainty.

We have five senses and yet another one which is commonly referred as the sixth sense. I started to focus more and on my sixth sense and charged it enough to equate the other senses into that time-zone.

I slowly started to feel the surroundings, the freshness of place and its ancient taste. Now the clarity began to carve its way enabling me to have a better understanding.

I saw that I was in a forest which was both huge and on the plains.

The forest seemed to be rich in flora and fauna. It was undoubtedly beautiful. Even in the summer day, it looked stunning with greenery around.

But all these were merely added observations. 

The real beauty couldn’t be seen but be felt. I could sense the enormous Energy present all around the forest. It appeared that this particular forest was very popular among the sages.

I was a boy and my name was Bansi.

I belonged to a family who were disciples of Lord Krishna. In fact I felt that most of my village consisted of Krishna Bhakts.

I must have been roughly around 10 or 12 years of age, when I first saw myself in my past birth.

I saw that I left home and went towards forest barefooted and empty handed. 

My parents came running behind me to stop me….but my resolve was unshakable.

I knew i was leaving the home permanently. 

Thereafter I went to the forest & built a small hut and started to live there. The hut was much smaller than one small bedroom of present times…

Slowly my focus shifted to another time-frame of the same birth.

The time was between 4 to 6 pm.

Now I was about 80 years old and yet I felt so energetic and active like I was absolutely young.

The focus took me towards the same hut which was mine and which was open at the time.

Towards right of the inside of hut, lay a clay pot with water stored in it.

Right in the middle of that hut was a Havana Kund & I was sitting in front of that Havana Kund performing Havana.

I was pouring some ghee in that Havana with a spoon made out of a wood and its handle extended with a small tree branch tied to that spoon.

I was chanting "Om Namah Shivay" loudly and continuously.

My focus shiftd and I wanted to know the place I was in that birth….it took about 3-4 minutes to feel it was some place now called 'Sitapur'. Until that day I hadn’t known any place called Sitapur.

Back to that birth…. I was returning from that journey back to the current life.

And just before the return, my focus or you could say consciousness enabled me to get a glimpse of Lord Shiva with Maa Parvati who came to offer their blessings by giving their Darshan & just stool

in front of the Havana kund towards right side.

They were saying something to him but I could not understand it nor could I go back to the

hut, which I wanted to but I just returned back to my present life.

************************************

Later on I just wondered if the place Sitapur existed at all & if it was a forest that too on plains…

So I decided to search the internet.

Sitapur indeed exists & is in UP. 

More over it had a great significance in our Hinduism as it was the place where the epic Mahabharata was written.

Further on research I was able to find that the much famous Namisharanya forest geographically is

located where Sitapur is now located.

About Sitapur

Sitapur has a long history. It is a land of seers and sufis and dalits. According to the Hindu Mythology, purans were written by Rishi Ved Vyas on the ancient location called Naimisharanya. Sitapur is one of the five sacred places the Hindus have to visit in their 'Panch Dham Yatra' journey. Misrikh, near Naimisharanya, holds its religious significance due to the belief that Maharshi Dadhichi donated his bones to Devatas for making Vajras.
