Dear Friends, Out of 51 Ancient Shakti Piths Tirths one out of 12 main tirths is located at Ambaji - Gujarat. As on date the Mela has started and every day thousands of people come to take ashirvad of Mataji. The wonder is All of them come (Visit) by walking from all over Gujarat. One more wonder is on coming Punam, the Bhadrapad Punam (i.e. On Sunday,14-09-08) about 20 (Twenty) Lakhs or more then that people will visit the temple. The free lunch, break fast etc. All arrangements are managed by trust governed by Gujarat Government. BUT I am sorry to say Non of the so called National News Channels are taking note of it. Even though since last so many years I am reminding them. Because every thing is going fine since so many years and I think they do not want to cover those things. If any day something will go wrong then they report it widely. Last year one channel answered me that, they do not have more time so, they published some pics only. Actually that whole day Rakhi Sawant has taken up the charge of the screen. Only ETV channel is showing the news every year. What more we can do. If any body wish they can click the official web site of temple as... www.ambajitemple.org/ Here with I am trying to give some information. Shri Arasuri Ambaji Mata Temple Tirth. At:Ambaji - Gujarat.
