I am from a small Bulgaria. An ex-communist country where most people did not see the world before 1989, and after that also not much people could travel, now not for political but for financial reasons. I was happy enough to see the world mainly because of my education, and I am very grateful to destiny and God for this opportunity. This happened in 2010, only 2 years after my first going abroad. I saw an advertisement on the web page of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences - Indian governmental fellowships. I remember the thought which came to my mind then: "India? Why not?". In spite of this I did not know much about India - perhaps if I was more informed I would be scared of some things. Interestingly, I had the luck to visit the country in 2016 too (how could I even imagine this could happen to me???) but this first visit was the most impressive thing till this moment that has had happened to me. I came to a completely different world. I remember when returned home it took me weeks to realize where I am, in my place of living! So strange was everything I saw in India. We visited Delhi, Taj Mahal and Himalayas but what I found most mysterious was my visit to Bahai Lotus Temple. Till then I have never believed in God, in energy theory, I even did not know anything about the bahai philosophy. I just remember my stay there, inside, where noting could predict what a feeling I would have exactly inside. You have probably seen this temple on photos - it looks like a big water flower and is very beautiful. But inside..inside I felt the most mysterious thing in my life. It was so strange that I felt myself like an empty glass which is filling with energy. Like something poured inside of me energy and when I filled in I left the building. After that I remember the calmness and peace which overwhelmed me for long time. It was such a pleasant feeling. Only after that I started to read about the energy theory and to search for more literature on the topic. But what I found is that you should be in a special spirit to feel this. In 2016, eager to repeat this feeling I went again to the temple... but it was fail. I had no such feeling and I explain this that my state was very nervous this time. One should be calm to feel the beauty of magic. I hope I'll have the chance to repeat this feeling indeed, if not in India, to another place of the world. Unfortunately right now the coronavirus is an obstacle for people to travel but miracles happen every day, and for some of them it is not necessary to go abroad. Miracles, I am waiting for you to come visit me.
