For popular song director Rhythm Sanadhya, visiting the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain is not something that requires a lot of planning. A devotee of Lord Shiva, she is directed and drawn to the temple as though God is himself calling her.
She said, “Each year, without any deliberate plan, life gently arranges my path toward Mahakaleshwar Mandir. Circumstances unfold on their own, drawing me to Madhya Pradesh as if guided by an unseen hand. I have begun to notice a quiet pattern: whenever I feel a little lost within myself, I somehow find my way there again.”
“It feels less like coincidence and more like a divine invitation, as though God calls me back at the precise moments my soul needs direction,” she added.
Talking about her visit, she explained, “I would call it an act of pure surrender. I prayed that everything unnecessary or not meant for me be removed from my life and that whatever Mahadev believes is truly right for me be brought into it.”
“I have noticed a profound shift in my life after every visit to Mahakaleshwar Temple. Obstacles seem to disappear, opportunities begin to arise, and everything gradually falls into place. The health of my family and me improves, and my worries and fears suddenly lose their meaning. With each visit, my devotion to Mahakal multiplies many times over,” she added.
Despite the enormous crowd, she found a sense of peace all around her. She said, “The change was immediate, as though I had left all my worries outside the main gate. In that moment, my mind fell silent, and I felt completely still, sustained only by devotion.”
Asked if there was a specific prayer or intention she carried with her during this visit, she said, “I was seeking true guidance and the strength to make better decisions in life. Even though I don’t need to ask, because Mahadev already knows what lies in my heart, I still pray that He shows me the right path.”
For Rhythm, this trip was deeply divine. She said, “It reassured me that I am never alone, that a higher power is always guiding me. Despite all the tensions and worries in my life, visiting Mahakaleshwar feels like surrendering them all in exchange for a sense of fearlessness.”
She focuses on her karma and believes there is something that works alongside it—prayer. “When neither I nor anyone around me can set things right, I sense a divine force protecting me and gently putting everything back in place. Mahadev always ensures that my faith in Him never fades. I truly feel I have witnessed miracles unfold,” she added.
