Young spiritual speaker Abhinav Arora, popularly known as India’s youngest spiritual orator, had a terrifying start to his birthday celebrations after the car carrying him and his family caught fire while they were travelling to Vrindavan for Lord Krishna’s darshan. Thankfully, all the occupants escaped safely despite the frightening incident.
According to Abhinav, he had decided to celebrate his birthday by visiting the holy town of Vrindavan and seeking blessings. However, the journey took an unexpected turn when their vehicle reportedly ran over bricks lying on the road, causing two tyres to burst. The impact also damaged an alloy wheel, and within moments, the tyres and electrical wiring caught fire, creating panic among the family members.
A video of the incident, now circulating on social media, shows flames emerging from the wheel section of the vehicle as bystanders rushed to help extinguish the fire. Family members appeared visibly shaken, but the blaze was brought under control before it spread further. No injuries were reported in the accident.
Sharing the experience on social media, Abhinav described the incident as a test of faith. Reflecting on the frightening moments, he wrote, “Thakur ji also took the exam on his birthday,” adding that his heartfelt wish of beginning his birthday by offering prayers at Lord Krishna’s doorstep was ultimately fulfilled.
Explaining how the accident occurred, Abhinav said the vehicle hit bricks scattered on the road, resulting in two tyre bursts, damage to the alloy wheel, and a fire that quickly spread through the tyres and wiring. Despite the scare, he expressed gratitude that divine blessings protected everyone inside the car.
Thanking Lord Krishna, Radha Rani and Banke Bihari Ji for their protection, Abhinav wrote that the family remained completely safe because of their grace. He also quoted a popular saying from Braj, stating that those who are protected by Banke Bihari Ji remain untouched by calamities, adding that he experienced the true meaning of those words during the incident.
Despite the unfortunate accident, Abhinav eventually reached the temple in Vrindavan and offered prayers. Calling it the greatest blessing of his birthday, he shared that he was fortunate to bow his head at the temple’s threshold in the very first moments of his special day.
