Saturn

Is the temple opening soon?

Don't you know, it's the eclipse today. The temple remains closed till tomorrow morning. Only the 9 planets area is open. And Saturn's temple is too. That stands on its own. You can pray there.

I guess i would do that. I need to talk to someone before i could gather the energy to go back home.

Ok. I will leave you to pray then.

Tq.

                                     *********

Are you done praying? I need to close the main gates.

Hmm. Sort of. Thank you for allowing me to pray.

Well, did Saturn answer your prayers?

I have just spoken to Him. I'd know the results only later.

Oh! I see. Could you tell me what's your bother? Who knows i might be able to help you.

I've been unwell. I've been unlucky. I feel I'm at the end of a tunnel.

How are you unwell? Some serious illness?

No, no! I've had a few miscarriages. The last one was quite severe. I lost a five month old foetus. It was the most difficult thing for me. I've lost three so far.

That must be awful. You should rest. Instead of sitting out on eclipse days.

I just finished my check up. At the hospital. The doctor just confirmed I'm pregnant again. I was afraid of another miscarriage. I came to speak to God.

What did you want to ask Him?

I asked Him to help me keep this baby. If this fails i asked Him to leave me barren. I can't manage this torture. The pain. The disappointment. The expectations of the family.

Hmm. Would you listen to my advise?

Anything.

You know Tulsi? The holy basil?

Yes.

Please get that in a few bunches. Every Saturday. Make a small garland out of it. Come put it for Saturn on every Saturday. He will help you with this pregnancy.

Are you sure?

Believing and not believing is in your hands. I'm just giving you the advise. I'm telling you this because you happen to pray to Saturn during the eclipse. It's believed that the strength of your prayers just now has multiple weight. Prayers in eclipse is powerful.

Ok i will do as you say. Thank you.

Its getting late. You should be moving. Before it gets dark.

Yes i will. Thank you again.

Hi!

Yes, hello.

I'm looking for someone whom i have met before. He is an old man and was in a dhoti. He had a brown bag with him.

I have no knowledge of such a person here. Are you sure you saw him here?

Yes. I saw him a few months ago. In the evening. I have been coming here in the mornings so i thought perhaps he comes here only in the evening.

I'm sorry. There has never been anyone with that description. I come here everyday.

Oh k. Thank you for your information.

Are you done with your prayers? Your baby is really cute.

Yes. I'm done. I was just looking for this man. To thank him. For a favor that he did for me.

I'm sorry. I'm unable to help you.

Something to do while waiting at the Hertfordshire university. It seems to be a long wait.
