🌌 The Night That Saved My Soul: A True, Unbelievable Journey Through Ananthagiri Forest

🧒 A Child, a Missed Bus… and a Walk That Changed Everything

I was under 10 years old.

That evening, I stayed back after school for special classes.
By the time I came out, the school bus had already left.

My home was 16 kilometers away.
No transport. No friends. No flashlight. Just nightfall.

I started walking — alone.

🕯️ Step by Step into the Unknown

The road was long and silent. I kept walking until I reached a place feared by many:
Ananthagiri Hills — a deep, dense forest known for wild animals and mysterious silence.

It was close to 9 PM. The path ahead was pitch black.

Still, I walked.

I didn’t fully understand fear back then.
But that night, something deeper was with me.

👕 My White Shirt Began Turning Green

As I moved deeper into the forest, something strange began to happen:

My white school shirt slowly started turning light green.
It softly glowed, almost like a diamond shimmering in the dark.

There was no artificial light.
No one around. No reflection.

Just the forest… and me.

I was afraid — but somehow, I kept walking.

🌸 The Aroma That Shouldn’t Exist

Then the air around me filled with a sweet, divine scent of mogra flowers.

There were no flowers nearby.
No breeze. No reason for that fragrance.

Even today, at 40, I can still recall that smell with perfect clarity.

🕳️ Then… Nothing

That’s where my memory ends.

I don’t know where I went in that forest.
I don’t know why no animal attacked me, why I wasn’t harmed, or how I didn’t lose my way completely.

I only remember one thing:
I suddenly found myself back on the main road.

It was 3:00 AM.
I was standing alone… safe.

🛻 The Lift That Never Came

Earlier, at around 7:30 PM, I had begged a lorry driver to give me a lift.
He refused. He didn’t stop.

I was hurt.

But now I wonder…

Did the universe deny that ride so I could walk into something destined?

🌳 What Really Protected Me?

I still ask myself:

• Was it divine power that walked with me?

• Was it mind power I never knew I had?

• Or was it the spirit of nature itself?

Something guided me through that night.
Something guarded my every step.
Something brought me back.

💭 Why Me?

Why did this happen to me?
Why was I chosen?
What gift was placed in my heart that night?

Even now, I believe this story is not just a memory — it's a message.

Maybe I was chosen not just to be protected… but to remember.
And now, to reveal it.

🔥 Why I Finally Share This

I never told my parents. I never told anyone.

But today, I know this story is not mine to hide.

This is true, unforgettable, and beyond logic.
It must be shared — for those who believe in what cannot be seen.
For those who walk alone… but are never truly alone.

🕊️ Final Words

“I was a child, lost in the dark. But I was never alone.”
“I came home not by direction… but by protection.”
“This is not fantasy. It is a real, living truth.”
