My Spiritually Enlightening Trip to Gaya

My Spiritually Enlightening Trip to Gaya
2

• I had been dealing with various personal
  issues when one of cousins suggested that I take
  a trip to Gaya. Initially was totally against the
  idea of even getting out of my home, leave alone
  visiting an unfamiliar city. However, gradually
  the idea caught on and finally I decided to take
  the trip.
• I reached Gaya Jn station on 4th Jan. The
  first thing that appealed to me about the city is
  its mix of ancient and modern structures that
  enhance its appeal. After freshening up at my
  hotel, I decided to explore the city, about which
  I knew nothing more than that it was the city
  where Lord Buddha attained enlightenment.

• Hoping to attain peace of mind for myself,
  I went out and hired an auto rickshaw. The driver
  was a young guy named Shyamraj and I took an
  immediate liking for him because of his friendly
  attitude. He informed me that Gay is one of the
  few cities in India that is equally revered by
  Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims and Jains. I asked him
  about the prominent places to visit in the city
  and he told me about the same.

• Since Shyamraj was the only person I knew
  in the city and also because he seemed to be a
  decent and honest guy, I hired him as my guide
  for the next couple of days. He took me to the
  most prominent places in the city including the
  Bodhi Tree and Mahabodhi temple, Vishnupad
  temple, Hazrat Makhdoom Sayed Shah Darweshs
  shrine and Sudama Cave to name a few.

• By the end of my third day in the city, I
  was a changed person. I felt myself spiritually
  awakened and refreshed and willing to take on the
  challenges of life. I thanked Shyamraj for
  helping me on my path of recovery.
• Next day, I checked out of the hotel
  around noon and since my train was to depart at
  255 I placed an order for food for train journey
  to be delivered at the station prior to
  departure. I had started to live again.
