Giving name and blessed by gods

The outer loby of TEMPLE OF DIVINE LIGHT-

The temperature inside temple is completely different from outside world. This place is full of beautiful things, likes trees, flowers, good structures, decent ascetic building.

Gauri is tickling the child by taking her in her lap, and he is smiling and trying to hold her finger. She was very happy with that child and seeing her happy, her husband also felt happy.

They are walking towards the temple of Lord Jagannath to seek guidance for the child, when a monk stops them on the way and calls them to him.

Shanker knelt and greet that monk while Gauri now her head to greet him, the monk gave them his blessings and said “You both are looking happy”

Shanker replied and said “We always stay happy”

That monk nodded in no and said “The happiness today is different from usual, you both are happy from not only mind but from heart and soul.”

“Yes, We are both happy because of this child, he filled our heart full of happiness with his cute smile and playing.” Gauri replied while showing that child to that monk.

The monk looks at the child while stroking his beard. Seeing the smile of the child, the monk smilingly takes it in his hands and that monk feels it as soon as he touches it.

The monk looks at that child with his divine vision and then smilingly gives him his blessings and hands him back to Gauri.

The monk smilingly says, “Girl, this child has divine powers, which can prove beneficial in the welfare of this world, take care of it and keep it away from evil, It is also a boon for the world and if it gets into bad hands then it can prove to be more dangerous than demons for the world. Always keep it away from evil and take care of it till it grows up, use this gift of God for the good of the world.”

Both of them find the talk of that monk a bit strange, but still they are happy and take leave from him and move towards the temple.

Gauri smilingly says to Shankar “Don't you think he was talking a little strange. Take a look at this cute child, he hasn't even got teeth yet, how will he become a threat to the world. Anyway, after listening to his words, it felt as if our son is quite different from the rest of the children. aww!! see how cute it is.”

Shankar got into thinking for a while and forced him to think again about the words of that monk. He looks at that kid and then he tries to say something to Gauri but then seeing her smiling he didn't say anything.

Gauri looks at him and says “What do you say, look how cute he is, if our son was alive, he would have been equally cute. As soon as she says this, she becomes sad again, seeing her sad, Shankar hugs her and says “ Don't be sad, if God snatched Vardaan from us then he gave us this little child to compensate, he is also like Vardaan”

Gauri smilingly says after seeing that child “No, he is not like Vardaan but he is Vardaan”

After this both of them smilingly go to a big cave shaped temple where many sages were sitting doing penance and one of them was worshiping a big idol of Lord Jagannath in front of him.

They both bow down to that sage and seek his blessings. They both sit in front of him. He looked at both the sages and said, "You people are here after so many days, tell me what service this sage can do for you?"

Shankar asks Gauri to show him that child, after which Gauri shows that child in front of that sage and says “When five years ago two years ago my son was killed in an attack by demons. Then I had turned away from God and said that I will never come to this temple, but today the same God has given us back our son Vardaan, that's why we have come here.”

The sage says with a soft smile, “God never does injustice to anyone, He gave you your first son, so to correct your mistake, He gave you a second son.”

The sage takes that child from Gauri's hand and places it at the feet of God and only then does time stop. Whatever was there remains the same except that sage and that child. Divine rays of light fall all around and a ray of light from the idol of Lord Jagannath falls on that child and exposes the hidden powers inside him, after seeing all this the sage is amazed.

That sage also has the same divine feeling that the previous monk had, he also bows before God on his knees, that child is also very happy and is laughing. As soon as that divine ray falls on him, that child starts to look even more adorable. Another new divine power enters his body. The mark on his back emerges again.

One of those rays falls on the sage, due to which he also gets the message of God. After which he again bows down to him with folded hands and then everything becomes as before.

Gauri and Shankar look at the sage who is still standing in front of the idol with folded hands and then look at the child who is smiling at the sage. Shankar asks that sage "You have something to say about this child?"

That sage opens his eyes and takes that child in his lap and hands him over to Shankar and says “Shankar is not an ordinary child, God bless him, he is the master of all the divine and evil powers, all the living beings will obey him, the only master of all the living beings and powers of this universe. Always keep him away from evil, If he goes into bad hands, then he will not take long for the destruction of this world, he has come to maintain peace in this world, do not let him become the cause of destruction. Never let his pure heart turn hard like a stone. When he is one year old, let him become a warrior as well as gain spiritual knowledge. Protect him from evil just as you have been protecting this place for so many years. He has come to this world to start a new era. If he is happy, then the whole universe will also remain calm, but when he is angry, then the whole universe will be burnt to ashes in his anger. As its father, you have to make him a savior of righteousness, never let him feel alone, he will love you selflessly, and you too will never let him feel alone.”

Shankar looks at that child and then smilingly says “I will do the same”

He looks at sage Gauri and asks her "Daughter, have you thought of a good name for this?"

Gauri thinks for a while and replies “I will name it Vardaan as it is very similar to him”

That child also becomes happier after hearing this, so they keep it there instead of his, she says Vardaan three times in his ear so that he can know his name.

After a while, the child starts crying, on which the sage says, "It seems that he is hungry, take him home and feed him, everything will be fine with the blessings of God."

After this they both return from the temple with Vardaan and walk towards their home. On the way, they meet George and Raya who are walking with their two-month-old daughter in their arms.
