Answer 2

Ans. 1. Last year I had a chance to visit the holy shrine of Vaishno Devi Mata.  I went there with my parents. We reached Katra by bus. From Katra to holy shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi we went on foot. The path to the shrine was very tiring but the devotees were full of enthusiasm and they were shouting slogan `Jai Mata Di’ loudly. When we reached the holy shrine, I found that there was an atmosphere of divine beauty and calmness. Everything was in proper order. They are around the shrine. Shrine was crowded but everybody fell far away from this materialistic world. We went inside the holy shrine, offered our prayer and found ourselves blessed by Mata Vaishno Devi. We were very happy and were considering ourselves very lucky to have that chance in our life.
