“YOGMAYA,YOU HAVE BROKEN THE LAW OF NATURE. I CURSE YOU THAT FROM TODAY AND FROM THIS MOMENT,YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR POWERS.YOU WILL SPEND YOUR LIFE AS NORMAL HUMAN FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AND WILL REPENT FOR YOUR MISTAKE”

I joined my hands and fell on my knees. I was losing something for which I have worked my whole life,I was losing my identity,my power and I could do nothing. I was the only reason where I was today, but do I regret it ?

1 Year Ago

I opened my eyes, today I completed my second stage of Sadhna. Finally I was closer to my goal, the power which I desire the most,the power through which I will contribute to my community, people have hopes in me and some envies me for what I am today. You might be thinking I would be happier for 1st group, actually not I do not feel anything for both. I am doing it for myself and for the betterment of my community,their opinion can never help me to thrive for my goals.

My Vision got clearer and I spotted my gurudev, standing proudly but with a straight face. I stood up and joined my hands,I bowed to him with respect.

“Pranam Gurudev” I said, and lifted my head.

“Kalyan bhava putri” He said coldly while a brief smile lingered on his face before he hid it behind his strict demeanour.

“ Tumne Sacche man se apni sadhna ki poorti ki hai aur tumhari saadhna safal rahi. hamari kuldevi ji ne prasad sweekar kar liya hai”

(I have completed my sadhana with a pure heart, and your sadhana has been successful. Our Kuldevi ji has accepted the offering.)

He told me and I joined my hands and bowed a little,I saw the rest of people from our community gathered.

“Ye sab aapki kripa hai gurudev, mujhe khushi hai main apne dusre padav mein safal rahi”

[This is all your blessings Gurudev, I am happy that I was successful in my second stage]

I expressed my gratitude,as my gurudev is my ultimate support. He has shaped me from childhood and I am thankful to him, because of him I did not end up like most of the women in my community. My eyes went towards the people standing beside and especially to the certain group of women who were dripping with jealousy and anger.

“Jal grahan karo,Putri. Apna upwas todo aur bhojan paan karo” He instructed and walked away while we all bowed our heads with respect.

["Accept the water, daughter. Break your fast and partake in the meal."]

My eyes went to my mother,whose eyes were shining with tears. Tears of happiness. I moved towards her and bent down to touch her feets. She kept her hands on my head and blessed me.

“Always be happy, my child and accomplish your goals” she says, i stood up and hugged her tightly.

“Let's go home, we are having a feast in the village” she says and took me with her while my eyes lingered to the other people standing there,some gave me pleasant smiles and some scoffed.

I walked with her while the people followed us behind. We moved towards our village which was two hours away from this place. I was in a cave, away from my family, and village. I was here for almost a year, without food and water. It was tough, by my determination and hunger of power won over the mere needs. Don't be surprised. I have been practicing it since childhood. Now I am twenty seven. I am pretty much accustomed to my lifestyle.

I touched my hair which was filled with dust and had a rough texture. I remember my hair was long till my spine but now it reached my thighs. I walked continuously, this place had a tough geography that's why people were having a lot of problems while getting down. Well the cave was on the mountains,so it will definitely be hard for them.

I saw my white clothes had turned yellow with dust, and my skin was rough. It took us almost two and half hours to reach the village. The moment I stepped into the village, the sound of dhol and music echoed in the surroundings. The kids were dancing in happiness while the adults were busy preparing for the  feast and the celebration.

I saw those innocent kids running here and there while gigglings and my heart clenched in pain. How happy they look but little did they know.

“Yogmaya, you're so dirty.” Said a girl behind me, taking away everyone's smile by her cruel statement. I turned back and looked at her

“Still you can't take away the attention from me anyways, bahari sundarta chali jaegi toh kis wajah se yaad rakhenge aap ko log?”

["If external beauty fades away, what will people remember you for?”]

“Aur tap kehte hai ise, saaj sringar se waqt milta toh thoda Zindagi ka gyan bhi mil jata tumhe ? Kya naam hai tumhara?”It's not like I don't remember her, of course I do. She is the one who has always tried to take my place and has always been an obstacle to my goal but I really don't remember her name because she doesn't hold any importance in my life. She gritted her teeth and I stood with a straight face waiting for an answer when she didn't reply,a girl beside her spoke.

["And this is called penance. If you had spared some time from adorning yourself, you might have gained some wisdom about life as well. What is your name?"]

“Chitra, Her name is Chitra and I am Kirti,you remember me?.” She said with a smile and I nodded.

“Khud ka naam bhi bhul gayi kya aap, ya mujhe dekh kar kuch yaad hi nahi Raha? Itna prem mat kariye hamse, hum thehre vairagi aapka mol chuka nahi payenge” Saying I turned back only to find my mother standing with aarti thal.

["Have you forgotten your own name, or did seeing me make you forget everything? Don’t love me so much—I am but a recluse, unable to repay your affection."]

“ Maya, I am so proud of you, my Child. I am so happy that you cleared your second stage” saying she did my aarti and applied tilak on my forehead. I bent down to touch her feets and she took me in a hug.

“Go, freshen up and rest a little. Today is an important day” I nodded and moved towards my home. I walked slowly but heard the jingling of anklets behind me. I kept walking until the jingling of anklets felt closer and within a second a girl stood in front of me, stopping my way and panting heavily.

“Hiii, remember me Kirti.” I stared at her coldly not knowing why she came in between.

“Of Course you do, I just told you my name.” I shook my head and moved away and she followed me again.

“Hey I am trying to talk” she again stood in front of me.

“And I am ignoring you, isn't it obvious.”This girl is no less than a trouble.

“Don't ignore me because of Chitra, I am your friend. no ? you should smile while talking to me” i frowned a little and looked at her in confusion who was complaining as if we are sisters from centuries when in reality, i barely talked to her.

“Friends ?  When did it happen ?” I asked in confusion and she huffed in annoyance.

“Ohhhoo remember when I brought white flower for you as you needed it but you didn't have it, since then I am your friend”I looked at her weirdly,oh god this girl is weird.

“And I needed that flower to pray for your brother, now didn't i?” Her smile faded and she sighed.

“Why can't I be your friend huh ? What's wrong with me and besides that you too have no friends” she said with a pout and I rolled my eyes.

“Because I do not need friends, my purpose is not to get tied in relationship, i have bigger goals to accomplish” I said in a cold tone and walked away while she again tried to block my way, I threw my hands in air and within a snap her leg was tied together and she fell on ground immediately,ouch. She looked at me with a pout and I sighed, I snapped again and her leg freed. She got up with a big smile. The moment she ran towards me , I closed my eyes and the next moment I was in my house in the bathroom disappearing in front of her.

I sighed a little and took off my clothes changing into a fresh pair of saree. I moved inside the pool and closed my eyes, drowning myself in the water.

I washed my hair and applied ubtan to my whole body, my dark brown skin glowed under the ubtan.i took a relaxing bath as I was bathing after an year. I felt like a ton of weight slipped away from my body. My body instantly felt the relief,after a long and relaxing bath, I came out of the pool and dried myself with a cotton cloth.

I stood in front of the mirror wearing my sari. I admired my beauty. Well, it was the glow of my Saadhna. I started drying my hair when I heard a knock on the door.

“Come in” I said and got busy in my sringar for the celebration. I heard the jingling of anklets and I immediately knew who it was, I closed my eyes and sighed.

“Hey, I got you. See I brought flowers for your hair,are we Friends now ?” She asked with a cheerful smile while I looked at her with a straight face.

“Did I ask for flowers ?” I asked and her smile faded,she pouted.

“Yogmaya, I want to be like you, I admire you a lot. I want to be fearless like you. I too don't want to be like most of the women in our community, they are always talking about beauty and all. I find you very alluring and different, you're the most beautiful women in our community.

“Then work on yourself, why do you need to be my friend” I asked,applying kohl to my almond eyes.

“Because i am not as strong as you, i admire you a lot and i want to be your friend”She looked down and I sighed, taking flowers from.

“Alright, i can help you and teach you a few things but again we are not friends” i turned back and her smile faded hearing my last sentence.

“What's wrong with friendship?” She asked while putting flowers in my long lustrous hair.

“And what's right with it? I don't think I need anyone” She sighed and kept putting flowers on my hair. I have always been alone, continuously working on my goals. I have no interest in getting along with someone when I know my third stage will start soon.

“You will get to know” She said and I frowned.

“What do you mean ?” I asked, wearing my jewelry and she looked at me in the mirror.

“Nothing, I am happy you agreed to teach me.”

“ You know the whole Village was talking about your beauty, the way your dark brown skin glows, it shines from afar and your Almond eyes. People are just admiring it and desire to achieve it but there is something different which they cannot get. Even some are preparing products to achieve the colour of your skin naturally. Your beetroot lips are so eye-catching that ladies have started applying, literal beetroots at gatherings and normal days. Your perfect shape,long hair, Sharp nose and cheekbones, just add uniqueness to your face. your perfect Yogmaya. And since you have reached your 20s, you're the most beautiful women in the village and other villages as well. Even men from other villages want to marry you but they can't because your goal is different.” She said and I listened silently. Well it was nothing new. I was aware of my beauty but it didn't change the fact that it's not permanent, it will fade away with your age. You should never be so proud of your beauty to see other things, your heart matters a lot.



Our community is a small tribe in the valley of Himalayas, we are known for our beauty and illusion. It is said that we can get anything just by our beauty, it creates such an illusion that the person in front of us will get hypnotized and at the end will agree to anything we desire. Well it is one of the reasons why I am here today, I shook my head to get out of thought and stood up.

“Let’s go to pluck flowers, we have to perform evening aarti of kuldevi” she said and I nodded, i walked with her,well I was not liking the fact that someone is roaming with me, but I do not want to make her more sad and it's good for her, if she wants to be like me.

We went in the garden and took in the scene once again, it is my favourite place although I avoid it very much because I don't want to be fond of anything, that was Vairagya means you have to be detached from things, i am still practicing but I am sure one day I will reach my goal. The ultimate power and happiness when lord Shiva will himself bless me with the powers i desire.

I plucked the flower while Kirti roamed the whole garden, I sighed a little and focused on plucking flowers. Once I was done I walked out of the garden alone after a few minutes I heard her running towards me and I kept walking. After a few minutes she stopped in front of me, I stopped.

“Hey,Yogmaya, this is not fair you left me alone. I thought you would call me” I raised my brows,the audacity of this girl, i will call her ???

“Why were you here?” I asked in a stern voice and she huffed before talking.

“To pluck flowers,”she said in a sad tone.

“And what did you do?”I asked sternly.

“I played around,Sorry” she mumbled and I looked at her coldly.

“Rule No.1, Never get distracted with tempting desires and Rule no.2, never rely on others” saying I walked and she followed me silently.

“Is it so hard to be like you?” she asked while following me.

“Hard and easy is in your brain, think it easy, you are sorted, think it hard,you will struggling to do that for the rest of your life” I told her,entering the village.

“And What if I think it is easy and it's still hard” my feets stopped and I turned back .

“Then it depends how desperately you want that thing, and second most important is action, you're sorted if you follow in discipline” I told her and again started walking while she ran behind, this girl uggh.

“Yogmaya, you're really a genius, thode se shabdo mein itna sab kuch karne ko bol diya,sunne jitna aasan nahi hai ye kary” I sighed and stopped in my tracks.

["Yogmaya, you truly are a genius. In just a few words, you've asked me to do so much. But this task is not as easy as it sounds."]

“Then it's not for you, if you're not willing to put  effort in it. Aapko kathin lag raha hai toh aap bhi wahi aasan karya kariye jo baki gawn ki ladkiya kar rahi hai, Saaj sringar aur fir ek accha pusrush dekh kar,kar lijiye unhe aakarshith”Saying i moved inside the temple where almost half of the village was gathered and few were still arriving. I moved inside the temple and rang the bell. I took the blessing of kuldevi and then bent down to touch the feet of Gurudev.

["If you find it difficult, then do what the other village girls are doing—adorn yourself, find a good man, and charm him."]

Everyone gathered and gurudev asked me to perform aarti, i offered the flowers and then performed the Aarti. Whole Village was chanting the Mantra, asking for forgiveness but I knew it would not be easy, I have to earn it by completing the order of kuldevi maa.

The Aarti came to an end, I took the blessing of Kuldevi maa and suddenly the winds started blowing heavily, the cloud thundered and a big lighting and we saw the visual of an abandoned Mahal and within a second it disappeared. I saw the shock on gurudev’s face and I immediately knew it is not that easy, the third stage will be a do or die stage for me.

The thundering and wind quieted and was replaced with a silence within a minute. Ladies started discussing the mahal we saw in the apocalypse.

Gurudev, which place is this? Maa asks, joining her hands and gurudev stands quiet.

“I don't know, you all enjoy the feast and I will come back after my research” He lied, I can know this in a snap of a finger. He walked out and the rest of the village walked towards the celebration.

After a few minutes the music resumed, kids started dancing while everyone enjoyed the feast. My mother took me towards the dinner table and made me sit on the ground.

“Maya, the menu is especially prepared according to your likings” she said and the other ladies smiled at me softly and again a certain group scoffed.

I started having dinner, well nothing is my taste. I can eat anything you serve, it's just Once my mother was so adamant to know my favourite dishes,so I told her everything came to mind and exactly all those things were on the menu.

Maa sat beside me and the ladies were laughing and giggling, their faces held a glow and smile but a fear was visible knowing what would be the next tragedy coming.

They told the stories of what happened in a year when I was away. I listened to them but surely I was least interested in those stories, knowing they were telling me only, I respected and listened patiently.

We all were done, we washed our hands in a bowl and our attention diverted to gurudev who stood there, his face held in shock and I knew there was a storm coming in my way.
