My Morbi 4# 

The Medieval age of Morbi 1

Jethwas (Jothwa Rajputs)

According to Charni Vahivachha it is said the Mayurdhwaj or Mordhaj lineage had Tamradhwaj, Neeldhwaj, Kansdhwaj kings. Naoji was born in the ninety third (93^rd) generation of these kings. Naoji established the town of Bhimmore. Sangji was born in the eleventh generation of Naoji. Sangji defeated King Waghela by planning tactics on the hill of Morbo and giving him a brave fight. King Waghela was on the attack on Bhimmore. In order to make this grand victory immortal Morbi town was established on the banks of river Machchu which flowed to southern side of Bhimmore and through the hills of Morbo. According to the devotional songs of the Saints of Saurashtra also it’s mentioned that there was a place named Dheldigadh which was later renamed as Morbi.

Vikiyaji was in the forty seventh generation of Sangji. I 1201-2 AD Gujarat was being ruled by the Muslim Sultans of Gauri clan. At that time Jalalkhan alias Kutubdin Aibak won Morbi from Vikiyaji and established it as a Suba of Gauri clan. In 1204-5 AD Vikiyaji gave a big fight and won back Morbi but ultimately Sultan Gyassuddin of Gauri clan came to Morbi with his army and surrounded it and ultimately Morbi went to the Sultans of Guari clan.

Wandering Refreshes Body & Soul

Wandering Refreshes Body & Soul

When the pollution of air pollutes our body and pollution of thoughts pollute the Soul escaping to the wild is the best available option. Away from everyone and close to ourselves. Relishing the beauties of the nature to the fullest and drink the nectar of the divine.

So this August I ventured in the jungles of Goa and the pretext was Goa Monsoon Trek. It offered some awesome waterfalls and we could bath in those falls actually in those falls only and we never ventured in any bathroom so that we can maintain the smell of the water in our till we reach the other fall. The trek offered some rare moments to treasure and capture them for life time.

A butterfly in vicinity imprinting its colours on our senses and filling our day with vibrant colours. Packed with lush green colours the trek becomes more of adventure. We desist walking even few meters in our routine life and even the soaring prices of petrol has not changed that, so walking here few kilometers is fun as we have company of complete strangers who become our best buddies within little time. Some become good friends in hours and some in 1 -2 days. Gushing with unlimited fun with body soaked by constant rain or sunny showers its fun cracking jokes and cutting the way fast for onion pakoris served hot.

With the new sprouts life starts easy when you have angels in form of butterflies swirling around the new plants like romeos flirting with new collage girls. Its full of energy and throbbing with life which brings us also in the wave of new sprits and hopes.

Even the dead wood dances and allows the new sprouts to spring and make it feel very young. So fascinating and full of hope for the next day.

So thank you guys at the Youth Hostels Goa for letting me tap into this wonderful nectar of life and enjoy its every moment so soak my monotonous life in the vivid colours of the divinity. Also I thank to all those wonderful fellow trekkers who made this experience landscape in my memory. Thanks to all of you and hope to see you all soon in some or other trek for the life goes on.....
