The Pandavas' Legacy: Baan Ganga

During their exile, the Pandavas faced a dire situation when they found themselves without drinking water. In a moment of divine intervention, Arjuna, with his mighty bow, struck the earth, and a spring of water emerged, quenching their thirst and restoring their strength.​

Today, this sacred spring flows beside a powerful Shiva temple, known as the Baan Ganga Temple. Nestled within the forest, the temple is a serene haven where devotees gather to seek blessings and spiritual solace.​

Among the temple's visitors is a revered Babaji, a sage who renounced worldly life in his early childhood. Embracing his guru's lineage, he resides in the forest, dedicating his life to spiritual practice. Each day, he visits the Baan Ganga Temple to meet with people, share insights on dharma, and offer prasad.​

As we prepared to depart, Babaji imparted his blessings with the words: "Apki yatra mangalmay ho" — "May your journey be auspicious." With hearts full of gratitude, we continued on our path, carrying the sacred energy of the spring and the wisdom of the sage.​
