New Delhi: Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi, who took time out from his busy election campaign in five states to visit the holy Kedarnath temple in Uttarakhand for three days last week, on Monday shared the video of his conversation with Mouni Baba and said That “fear is a trick of the mind”. Sharing the video on X handle, the Congress leader said, “Fear is an illusion of the mind! Know closely the secret of ‘Don’t be afraid’ of ‘Mouni’ Baba in Kedarnath and his years of penance.”
In the video, Rahul Gandhi is seen asking Mouni Baba how long he has been sitting in Kedarnath. On this he signals with his hand that he has sworn not to speak for 11 years. When the Wayanad Lok Sabha MP asked why he took such a fast, Mouni Baba took out a notebook and wrote in it that Baba Kedar (Lord Shiva) knows this.
"भय मन का वहम है!"

After this the Congress leader asked him what changes he had seen due to not speaking for 11 years. He again wrote that Baba Kedar knows this. While mentioning Rahul’s visit in his notebook, Mouni Baba has also written that he has not come to meet him on his own will, but with the blessings of Baba Kedar. After this, Mouni Baba asked him with a hand gesture whether he would like to eat something. To this the Congress leader replied that he would eat a little.
After this the Congress leader took out his phone and called his sister and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and told her that Baba does not speak. He also said that Baba is from nowhere and he is not going anywhere. Another person sitting in Mouni Baba’s tent says that by remaining silent, ego and anger are automatically destroyed. On this, Rahul Gandhi says that by eating the bread given by Mouni Baba, there is no ego and anger. The second person said that this is true and no one gives up attachment in this world.
He further says that everyone is connected to something or the other. This is only attachment, what else? Next morning Rahul Gandhi again reaches Mouni Baba’s place and Baba writes in his notebook and says that the blessings of Lord Kedar are with you… keep moving forward. After this Mouni Baba says that Rahul Gandhi is the name of the body.
Then Mouni Baba writes on paper that fear is an illusion of the mind. Meanwhile, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh also shared the post of Rahul Gandhi meeting Mouni Baba in Kedarnath.
Ramesh said, “Recently Rahul Gandhi had gone to Kedarnath while taking forward the Bharat Jodo Yatra. There he had a conversation with ‘Mouni’ Baba on penance and fear.”
Rahul Gandhi visited Kedarnath for three days from 5 to 7 November. During his Kedarnath visit, the Congress leader offered prayers at the holy temple and also participated in langar and distributed tea to pilgrims visiting Kedarnath.
After returning from Kedarnath, Rahul Gandhi once again started his election campaign in the states of Rajasthan, Telangana, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh.
