Siddhi Vinayak

I have travelled the entire month of July I think. Away to Mumbai, Delhi, Chandigarh and Goverdhan - at the feet of my Guruji. When I visited Mumbai, I met some relatives after a long time. But imagine the state of my mind - I was most excited to visit the Siddhivinayak temple. The temple is around 200 years old. A few years back I was in mumbai and visited the Babulnath, Mahalaxmi temples and then came to Siddhivinayak at the end.
As I entered the temple for the first time, it was without any expectation of any kind. But the force in the temple is so powerful, that I was overwhelmed as soon as I entered. My head bowed down on its own and I felt a powerful blessing around my head and heart region. I had decided then and there that I would visit the siddhivinayak whenever I visited Mumbai in my life. Such a tremedous spiritual force in the heart of the city known for materialism - will wonders ever cease ??!!!
If anyone visits Mumbai and is even a little bit spiritual, he or she should visit this temple and bow down to the divinity - Ganesha may not be visible in his true form before our eyes - perhaps we are too gross to see His divine form. But in this temple - His presence is tangible and powerful.
