Unexplained events spark curiosity and also philosophical debates. While social media is flooded with videos of unusual animal behaviours, recently two videos have surfaced on the internet that have evoked strong emotions and spiritual connections among netizens. While one video is of a cat doing 'parikrama' at Lord Shani temple, the other is of a monkey holding a 'gada' and posing infront of Lord Hanuman's statue.
Cat doing 'parikrama' at Shanidev temple
In the first video, a cat is seen doing parikrama (circumambulation) of a sacred stone. Parikrama is usually done after traditional worship and as a way to pay homage to the deity. Surprisingly, the unstoppable cat continues to walk around the sacred entity. The person recording the video is heard saying that the cat was walking continuously around the holy stone at Lord Shani temple for three days.
The man says, "Billi nahi, insan hai. Yeh bhagwan ki leela hai sab Shanidev Maharaj hai. Kya billi samajh rahe ho aap! 3 din ho gaya aab. Koi bhi mandir woh baaki nahi choda isne, Hanuman ji ka chod kar, Bholenath se shuru kiya."
