Esteemed Guruji Shri K. N. Rao, who is now 90 years old, says he doesn’t remember a single time when Afghanistan got such wide publicity in Indian media as it is getting now. The reason is obvious, the TV channels are running 24/7 now and Afghanistan is actually running through a real crisis. Being on the Frontier of India, next to Kashmir, India is much concerned about the developments there.
A friend belonging to the Vishwa Hindu Parishad always regretted that so many Hindu temples were destroyed by Muslim invaders including the famous temple in Ayodhya which is still being disputed historically. He often referred to the book of late Sita Ram Goel who wrote a book giving historical evidence and photographs of such temples numbering around 800.
I asked him to read about the crusades and see that it was first started by Christians under the leadership of successive Popes. Synagogues of Jews and mosques of Muslims were destroyed and later Muslim indulged in vaster acts of destruction all over Asia and parts of southern Europe.
Proselyting and converting religions are least spiritual and most fanatical, dangerously lopsided. There are obsessed maniacal individuals led by close minded and religious blind mullah and clerical leaders.
Non converting religions like Hinduism mainly suffered most and being tolerant and highly civilized have been at the receiving end in these stories of religious atrocities.
But there are stories of Hindu temples also saved miraculously I told my friend of VHP. I had no ready list of such miracles and the more I tried to collect such authenticated stories, including the miraculous incidents in Ayodhya in 2002 and 2008 of the Ram temple and Hanuman Garhi the more frustrated I became because those who witnessed promised never gave me written accounts.
Anyway, Kush wrote to me to describe about the miracle of Tanot Maa temple about which I had heard from others also.

The incident happened both in the 1965 and 1971 war where a sum total of 450 bombs were dropped on village Tannot, the abode of Tannot Devi, the warrior goddess of the Bhati clan of Rajputs. Not even one out of the 450 bombs exploded and even now all the bombs are there in display at the temple musuem It is indeed a miracle.

The temple of Tannot Mata was the family temple ( kul devi) of the Bhati clan of Rajputs from the royal family of Nachana and the goddess is also known as the warrir goddess. I can say with confidence because .....
After the war, the BSF (Border Security Force) pass on the temple to them.
My ..... are still the head of the trustees for the temple and the ownership of the structure and the temple is still with them but the control is with the BSF. It is a great place for pilgrimage as it is surrounded by sand dunes of the Thar desert.
