My Real Journey- A Trip Started with Faith:

My Real Journey It was a journey driven by faith and the excitement of the unknown. I, Prakash Singh and two of my other close friends decided to take a memorable bike ride to Om Banna Ji, a holy temple steeped in faith and mysticism. It was more than just a road trip for us; it was an adventure and a spiritual calling all rolled into one.

The morning chill was felt on our faces as we revved up our bikes and began the journey. We left our village Rajsamand/ Diwer, behind and hit the open road with helmets on and excitement in our hearts. As the sun slowly started to rise, the highways welcomed us warmly. We passed through endless green fields, golden wheat fields swaying in the breeze and quaint little villages that seemed to have survived forever. 

Every turn offered a new view and every mile told stories about the soul of the land of Rajasthan. Old men resting under banyan trees greeted us respectfully with “Ram Ram”, and the rhythmic sound of our engines mingled with the spirit of the land. Children in villages waved at us with innocent smiles. Sometimes we stopped to have tea at a roadside stall, sometimes just to admire the view and take a few pictures.

Even though we were far away, the smell of freshly cooked vada-pav, the warm sun on our faces and the laughter amongst us made us feel like we belonged here. However, there was something more than just the enjoyment of the open road and the breathtaking view – a strong, calm pull that kept us moving forward. We felt like we were being led to Om Banna Ji by a powerful, invisible force, like a guardian spirit was walking with us.

Vada Pav and Laughter

After departing from Rajsamand/ Diwer, we stopped for lunch and had some delicious vada pav. Though the heat was intense, the excitement, conversations, and joy of the ride kept us energized. Our bikes seemed to roar with the same enthusiasm we felt.

Om Banna Temple - A Unique Symbol of Devotion

As we neared Pali, one of our friends said, “Om Banna’s temple is nearby. Let’s go there too. It’s famous for bike worship.” We all agreed instantly. Upon arriving at the temple, we were engulfed by an atmosphere of reverence.

Who is Om Banna?

Om Singh Rathore, lovingly known as Om Banna, hailed from the quiet village of Chotila in Rajasthan. In 1991, tragedy struck when he lost his life in a road accident near Pali. His beloved Royal Enfield motorcycle was taken to the local police station, but what happened next stunned everyone - the bike mysteriously kept returning to the exact spot of the accident, time and again, without explanation.

The villagers, moved by this divine phenomenon, began to believe that Om Banna’s spirit still lingered to protect travelers on that treacherous stretch of highway. Eventually, they built a shrine at the very spot and placed the motorcycle there as a symbol of faith, courage, and protection.bToday, that shrine — the Om Banna Temple — draws thousands of devotees from all across India, not just to offer prayers, but to experience the mystical presence of the silent savior who rides no more, yet guards the roads forever.

Traditional Offerings at Om Banna Temple

As per local beliefs, some devotees present a special offering at the Om Banna Temple as a mark of respect and faith. It is said that such devotion pleases Om Banna, and he blesses his followers by fulfilling their heartfelt wishes. My friend Prakash also offered a small token of respect and captured a beautiful photo of the temple. We bought some small souvenirs like toys and local snacks to remember this soulful visit. By the time we looked at the clock, it was already around 5 PM. We hadn’t realized how time had flown by. Knowing it was time to return home, we paused for a moment, soaked in the divine energy around us, and then began preparing for our journey back.

Imagination and Mystery- One Night, One Ride, One Miracle


Now comes a fictional story that emerged from my imagination after this trip- a suspenseful, thrilling tale that blends belief, fear, and the supernatural.

Meet the Rider and His Journey

Our fictional protagonist is Vivek, a 27-year-old passionate biker on his first solo trip to Rajasthan. His destination? Baba Ramdev Ji’s temple, where he plans to seek blessings for his future.

This was it – his first solo trip, and he had chosen the vast, culturally rich land of Rajasthan as his canvas. His destination was not just another tourist spot. It was holy land – Baba Ramdev Ji’s temple, a place where faith speaks louder than words, and miracles are the talk of devotees. Vivek was not just going to explore; he was going to believe. After a tough year filled with career doubts and personal struggles, he had made up his mind, he would bike through unfamiliar paths and seek blessings from Baba Ramdev Ji to find direction in his life.

With nothing more than his fully-equipped adventure bike, a backpack, a few essentials and the open road ahead, Vivek set off with a hopeful heart. He didn’t know what he would encounter along the way - friends, fear or fate, but he was prepared. More than just a ride, it was a transformative journey for him.

Darkness, Silence, and a Deserted Road

Vivek sets out late in the evening, thinking there would be less traffic at night. But little did he know this would be the scariest night of his life. Around 10–12 kilometers from Pali, on a dusty, deserted stretch, his bike suddenly stalls. There’s no shop, no one around, and his phone has no signal. He tries restarting the engine, but it doesn’t respond. Just then, a chilling breeze brushes past him. He senses someone standing behind.

“Don’t be afraid, you are not alone...!”

He turns around - no one is there. But a calm, heavy voice whispers again: “Don’t be afraid, you are not alone.!” Suddenly, the sound of another bike:- a Royal Enfield - echoes nearby. In the mist, he sees a bike slowly approaching - covered in red and golden cloth. No rider. The exact same bike he had seen at the Om Banna Temple.

A Rescue from the Beyond

The mysterious bike stops beside him. Time stands still. At that moment, his own bike’s engine suddenly roars back to life. He’s shocked but feels a strange comfort. He mounts his bike, glances back - and the red Bullet is gone. Shivering in the cold wind, he stood by the deserted roadside, alone and uneasy. Suddenly, through a thick swirl of mist, a mysterious red Bullet bike slowly rolled toward him. There was no sound in its engine, no sign of a rider, yet its presence felt alive, as if it carried the essence of an invisible force.

He stood frozen, eyes wide, unable to move. The world around him seemed to pause, no breeze, no rustling leaves, not even the whisper of the night. Time itself had stopped. Then, without warning, his own dead bike’s engine growled back to life with a deep, thunderous roar. He gasped in disbelief, heart racing, but strangely, he felt no fear. Instead, an odd sense of calm washed over him, as if an ancient spirit was watching over him, protecting him from the shadows. Without a second thought, he climbed onto his bike. Just as he was about to ride away, he looked back, but the red Bullet was gone. Completely vanished. As if it had never been there. And yet, the feeling lingered. Not of fear, but of something greater. A presence. A silent certainty whispered in his heart - That wasn’t just any bike. It was a mysterious guardian, sent from a realm beyond our own.

The Morning After, Realization and Gratitude

As the first golden rays of dawn kissed the horizon, Vivek finally arrived at the Om Banna Temple. A quiet stillness wrapped the air, despite the crowd of devotees gathered around the shrine. Some lit incense sticks, others bowed their heads in prayer, all united by reverence.

Then his eyes fell upon it, the same red Bullet motorcycle he had seen the night before, the one that had mysteriously guided and protected him through the darkest hours. A wave of emotion surged through him. His eyes welled up, his breath caught in his throat. With trembling hands, he stepped forward, lit a candle, placed fresh flowers at the altar, and closed his eyes. In silent prayer, he whispered,

"Thank you, Banna Ji!, you saved my life. You are truly the silent savior." In that sacred moment, Vivek realized more than just survival. He understood the profound grace of faith and how, sometimes, unseen forces guide us through the storms we don’t think we’ll survive.

Faith, Miracles, and the Moral:

Was it all just a dream? A figment of a weary traveler’s imagination? Or perhaps a hallucination born from fear and exhaustion? Or, is Om Banna truly watching over lost souls, guiding them through danger on the silent wheels of his miraculous red Bullet? Maybe these questions will never find answers in logic or science. And maybe they’re not meant to. Because some truths exist only in faith, not in facts. One thing, however, remains undeniable - where there is unwavering faith, miracles find their way. And for Vivek, that night was more than just a brush with death - it was a sacred reminder that not all guardians wear uniforms or shout warnings. Some ride silently. and bless you when you least expect it.

Author’s Note – A Ride Worth Remembering

“The Blessed Ride: Om Banna and the Silent Savior” is not just a supernatural tale, it’s a reminder, a heartfelt message that every rider must carry with them. Roads witness our journeys, of joy, of ambition, and sometimes, of regret. The mysterious moment described in this story may seem miraculous, but in real life, what truly matters is caution and responsibility.

Please remember:

  1. Always wear a helmet. Your life is precious to protect it.
  2. Follow all traffic rules. They aren’t meant to slow you down but to keep you alive.
  3. Never drink and ride. The tragic accident of Om Banna was a result of drinking and driving, a painful mistake that changed everything.
  4. Ride smart, not fast. No destination is more important than your life.
  5. Om Banna’s story lives on in the hearts of countless people. He has become a symbol, a silent savior for those who ride. But we must never forget that his death was the result of one careless choice.

Your bike may be your passion, your pride. But your life is someone else’s entire world. So before you start your engine next time, pause for a moment, and ask yourself: "Am I ready to ride responsibly?" Roads become a blessing only when we treat them with respect. Let’s pledge to be responsible riders - not just in memory of Om Banna, but in honor of life itself.– "The Author" In memory of Om Banna – The Silent Savior.

Drunk Riding – A Deadly Choice That Shatters Thousands of Lives Every Year,

"Inspirational read: Ghost Insurance Agent: Achieved Target After Death – a mix of motivation and mystery on Indian roads."

Countless families are torn apart, just because someone chose to ride a bike under the influence of alcohol. According to data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), in 2023 alone, India recorded over 1.55 lakh road accidents, with more than 20,000 deaths directly linked to drunk driving. A significant number of these fatalities involved young two-wheeler riders, mostly between the ages of 18 and 35....Imagine, just one night of reckless fun or a false sense of bravado can wipe out an entire future. 

It not only ends a life but also leaves behind a grieving family, broken parents, and children robbed of their tomorrow...Among bikers, the most common and lethal combination is: no helmet + high speed + alcohol...A deadly recipe for disaster...What most don’t realize is that alcohol significantly impairs our judgment, reaction time, and balance. The moment you take the road under the influence, you’re not just putting your life at risk, you’re endangering everyone around you. So here’s a heartfelt plea:bNever ride after drinking...Choose a cab, public transport, or a sober friend to get home...Speak up and spread awareness...Because one responsible decision can save not just your life, but your entire family’s world...Let every ride be a safe one, because real strength lies in self-control, not speed under influence.
