"When Pandit ji poured water from the pot on the flame, that water also caught fire. Devotees were astonished to see this divine form of Mother Goddess, and they started singing the praises of Maa Shakti. I used to visit Jwala Devi regularly in my childhood. Today after many years, when Maa has called me, I wished for everyone's happiness and prosperity, Jai Mata Di," she added.
