While going in the train, Rudra was very surprised because he had seen that devil once again. Now he was unable to understand whether that devil wanted to kill him or save him and if he wanted to save him then why did he attack him that night and if he wanted to kill him then why did he save him today.
Rudra was thinking all this while sitting in the train when suddenly a man came and sat next to him. The man looked a little strong and had a ghost mark on his forehead.
"Where are you going?" the man asked smiling. "I am going to Haridwar", Rudra replied in a low voice. "Oh wow! Actually I am also going there, how strange isn't it?" the man said laughing. "Yes", Rudra said looking in the other direction.
Seeing Rudra's face, the man understood that he did not want to talk to him after which the man sat at some distance from him and tore a biscuit packet and started eating it. "Will you also take biscuits?" the man said showing the packet. "No, I am not hungry," Rudra replied.
After which he put a biscuit in his mouth and said, "By the way, what work are you going there for, if you tell me then it will be easy, I live there, today after a long time I am going to my home." Hearing his words, a hope arose in Rudra's mind and he said with curiosity, "Are you from there?"
Now he suddenly stopped eating biscuits and started looking upwards, "Yes! But why did you ask so eagerly?" "Is there any important work?" the man asked. After this Rudra took Bhadra's name in front of him. Hearing Bhadra's name, the man smiled a little and looking at Rudra said, "Are you going to meet Bhadra, do you know her well?" He doesn't talk to anyone just like that, everyone goes to him with their problems but till date he has not replied to anyone".
Hearing this, Rudra got into thinking, then the man from the other side said smilingly, "Oh! Till date I have never had to reply to him, everyone's problems get solved".
"By the way, how do you know so much about him?" asked Rudra in surprise. Now the man kept the packet with a big smile and shook his hands and said "Do you believe in ghosts?" After which Rudra looked at him and said "Yes! But why". "Okay, today I will tell you the story of that Tantrik".
After going about 10-12 kms from Haridwar, there is a small village named Dharapur. That village is situated on the banks of river Ganga. I and my friend (Varun) were residents of that place. There was a tantrik living in the crematorium of the same village. He was always covered in ash, with a big tilak on his forehead and his dreadlocks hung down till his waist. Even the best of people were terrified by his one growl.
When he walked, it seemed as if it was not a human being but an incarnation of Mahadev. He was the king of the crematorium, he could do anything. Life and death were a game for him, the words that came out of his mouth pointed towards the truth.
People used to follow him for every work like children, wealth, prosperity, riches etc.
Yes, but at the same time some people living in Haridwar also used to call him a hypocrite. I also did not know his reality and that is why I also wanted to find out about him. At that time I lived in the village and my friend in Haridwar. One day we followed that tantrik.
The tantrik was surrounded by a crowd of people the whole day. Everyone would tell him their complaint and the Tantrik would just put his hand on their head. It is said that if the Tantrik puts his hand on someone's head and there is a ghost possessing him, then just by his touch the ghost would come out in front.
After nightfall, he got up from there and went towards the cremation ground. He was walking at such a high speed that it was difficult for a common man to follow him, but somehow I and my friend were running and chasing him. The banks of the Ganga, the silence of the cremation ground, the darkness of the night and in the meantime the roaring Tantrik. Sometimes he would turn back and growl at us. All that was very scary but we had to know about him. Seeing his violent posture, my friend politely told him "Baba, we want knowledge". He went to the bank of Ganga and started bathing in the water of Ganga. However, at that time, due to my friend speaking politely, he left us alive. His whole body was covered with ash.
Due to which, when he went into the water of Ganga and came out, he was completely naked and then suddenly disappeared from there. After that day, we used to follow him everyday so that we could know about him but he used to fool us every time. Then one day my friend's father, who was a Pandit there, told us that the best day to meet a Tantrik is Amavasya. He is very happy on that day. After his telling, both of us started waiting for Amavasya with great impatience. Well, that day came after which our wish was about to be fulfilled but on that day my friend's (Varun) father had come to know what he was doing. Because they did not let Varun leave the house. That day I waited for him with great curiosity but he did not come.
In the meantime that Tantrik got up and started leaving. I had no other way, so I also started following him.
The silence of the crematorium in the dark night and the roaring Tantrik. Trees and leaves were shaking due to his roar. Whenever I moved forward, I would get a little scared but I don't know which power was that which was encouraging me to move forward.
After some time, while following him, I reached near the river Ganga. There I hid at a place and started watching that Tantrik. That Tantrik was standing there and dancing and was calling someone in the river. "Come, come, come near me". Listening to his voice, I was wondering whom he was calling in this dark night but right after that I saw that something like a stick was coming towards him, cutting through the river. Now I started watching it carefully. When it came near the Tantrik, he lifted it on his shoulder and started going from there. When he passed by, I saw that it was not a piece of wood but a dead body of a girl. I was very scared but still I did not step back. After some time, he went from the tantrik to a hut. I was very restless and I had to see what he was going to do with that dead body. After which I removed some grass and started peeping inside the hut. Looking inside, my hair stood on end and I was just about to scream when I put my hand in my mouth. At that time, my screaming stopped but I was completely shaken by seeing that scene. Inside, that tantrik was sitting on that dead body and was eating it by tearing it. He would eat a part and grunt loudly. "Come child, come, take the prasad" said the tantrik looking at me. Till now I felt that I was following that Tantrik and he did not know that I was there but it was clear from his words that he knew that I was there. I was also adamant due to which I started going towards him from the door. My feet were sweating badly due to fear.
As soon as I went inside and stood near him, that Tantrik tore a piece of meat and said while pointing it towards me "Take it child take the prasad". Just seeing that piece of meat I felt like vomiting but still I had to know what he was going to do with it due to which I took that piece in my hand. The meat was very hot, he would eat it by tearing it and roaring again and again.
After taking that piece of meat in my hand I said to him once again "Baba give me knowledge". Only after this, while eating the manas, he said, "Who are we to give knowledge, child, we are giving you this prasad, only Kaal Bhairav can give you knowledge".
I felt strange after listening to his words and I started thinking that my coming here was in vain. After this, I angrily threw him out of his hut.
The meat was soft, so I held it in my hand and went from there. After going a little far in the light, I remembered that I had kept that piece of meat in my hands and if someone had seen it, he would have thought wrong about me, after which I angrily threw it down. When I threw it down, I found that it was not a piece of meat but hot halwa.
After throwing it, I regretted a lot, maybe all the knowledge was hidden in it for me, which I threw away thinking it to be meat. By the way I told you this story because their way of imparting knowledge can be different, so when you meet them, remember this story of mine, maybe you will get encouragement and you will not make the same mistake that I did. After telling the whole story, Rudra was looking at him with great surprise. "Is he really that powerful?" Rudra asked. After which the man suddenly smiled and said while picking up his biscuit packet, "Don't worry too much, just be polite in front of him, leave everything to him." Now Rudra was talking to him when suddenly the TT came to him and started asking for his ticket. "You wait a minute" Rudra said to that man. After saying this Rudra started showing his ticket to the TT. That TT was looking at Rudra with strange eyes and then suddenly started laughing and leaving from there. "Won't you check his ticket?" Rudra asked. After which the TT went from there laughing. Rudra could not understand the reason for his laughter, after which he again turned towards that man but this time there was no one there.
Rudra was surprised and started looking here and there. He felt something strange, after which he suddenly went to the TT. "Did you see the man sitting next to me?" Rudra asked.
After which the TT said, "It does not look like you are drunk but your actions are exactly like that."
"What do you mean?" Rudra asked in surprise. In response to which the TT went away laughing without giving any answer.
Now Rudra was about to ask some other people sitting nearby, when he suddenly stopped and remembered the first thing that the man had asked in which he had asked whether he believed in ghosts.
This thing answered Rudra's question, after which he went and sat on his seat.
Who was that man, was the story he told true, is there really a person named Varun, will Rudra be able to meet Bhadra? Thank you
The story will continue
