It was painful but I did it. But it was absolutely disappointing at Vaishnodevi and grateful at Golden Temple
Vaishnodevi is a business model whereas Golden Temple was sublime, peaceful, blessed and everything best.
To start with, traveling in and around Vaishnodevi is a loot. ₹300/half km. Amritsar was ₹50/km.
Vaishnodevi isn’t clean. Golden Temple is absolutely serene and clean.
In Vaishnodevi, after all the struggles, pains and hours of trekking, you get half a second tops for praying. Golden temple is where they respect you, your struggles and let you pray for even 5 mins.
The systems and management at Vaishnodevi is harassment. The system and management at Golden Temple is helpful. Devotee friendly.
When it comes to prasad, Vaishnodevi offers you one single small packet, and the way they gave it felt like I am a beggar and they were doing charity. At Golden Temple, kada prasad was hot and served as much as you want.
Personal belonging weren’t allowed at Vaishnodevi, and locker for each thing was at far different places, and was a struggle. The guards don’t even answer you properly or guide you, where as at Golden Temple, you can go in with your personal belongings and if you want to put it into a locker, the people help you there, guide you rightly.
All I mean to say is God is everywhere and pray with heart and belief. But if you have to spend money to worship the god, or a form of god, struggle and efforts is fine, but go to a worshipping place where you are welcomed, not to a place where you are pushed away and not welcomed.
I saw so many devotees spending beyond their pockets, struggling beyond limits to get blessing of Mataji, and I am sure that half a second would have done it, but the business run by the shrine board and the way they handle it is pathetic. I am also sure many would have had a different and better experience too, and maybe I wasn’t lucky or blessed enough to be there, but Golden temple on the other hand felt home. I was blessed and lucky to be at Harmandir Sahib, also known as Golden Temple, in Amritsar, Punjab, India.
Jai Mata di. Waheguru 🙏
