I am one of thousands devotees, with deep faith and emotion, I wish to share how Maa Durga (kadal da appe) herself chose Ratnagiri as the sacred ground for her presence and how our beloved Guruji Shri Prashant Shetty was guided there through divine visions and dreams.

 

For years, Guruji used to see a sacred stone of Maa Durga in his dreams and even in his waking state. He would often describe to his family the exact place, the surroundings, and the divine glow of that stone  but nobody believed him.

 

What many didn’t know was that Guruji was being guided by Mantra Devta and Khoragajja, two of the most revered deities of Tulu Nadu. These divine forces continued to appear in his visions, showing him the path and urging him to reach that sacred spot where Adi Shakti herself awaited.

 

Finally, listening to their divine call, Guruji traveled to Ratnagiri — and there, just as he had seen, he found the very stone from his visions. When he touched it, a powerful spiritual energy surrounded him and it became clear that this was none other than Maa Adi Shakti Durga herself.
