This is called forehead. Last year too, this day was not at all like that of Anuvrata Mandal. Kesht Mandal used to go back to Mother Tara again and again in times of danger, joy and sorrow, before and after the vote. But this time Anuvrata is imprisoned in Asansol Jail. He is accused of cow smuggling. He is far away from Tarapeeth even in Kaushik Amavasya. Earlier on this day his picture was adorned next to the leader to welcome the devotees at the Tarapeeth. Now they are not there.
Tarapeeth special puja today. And on such a day, Anuvrata Mandal was imprisoned in the prison hospital. Anuvrata put his hand on his forehead after seeing Maa Tara’s puja on TV.
Anubrata Mandal was seen in the Tarapeeth several times in the past. There were also times when she cried emotionally in front of her mother Tara. In the past, the devotees used to organize yajnas for the well-being of the Anuvrata Mandal at this Tarapeeth. But those are past today.
The leader is in Asansol Jail. He spent the day lying in bed in the prison hospital. Sometimes he kept his eyes on the TV. He also talked to some prisoners. But the mind is not good at all. At this time, there is no chance to go to Tarapeeth and stand in front of the goddess.
But Anuvrata woke up early on Friday morning and took a bath. Then he bowed to the various pictures hanging on the wall. He also has a large picture of his mother in his own house. Kesht eats Muri Chhatu in the morning and rice, pulses and vegetables in the afternoon.
He is getting the opportunity to watch TV occasionally due to his stay in the prison hospital. There he turned the channel and looked at the TV screen once or twice. They are looking for that mother again and again between songs and movies. And his words came back to how he used to spend this day in the past.
