People say that God has unexpected ways of surprising us, and sometimes we don’t believe it, right? But a recent incident on an Air India flight may change your view. A cabin crew member missed the Ganpati Puja at home due to her flight, but was surprised when a passenger brought a Lord Ganesha idol on board, allowing her to offer her prayers inside the plane. Here’s what happened.

Air India Crew Member Performs Ganpati Puja Inside The Plane

An emotional and heartwarming video of an Air India flight attendant is going viral online. Anuradha Soni had to attend the Ganpati Puja at her home for Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, but her flight got changed and, because of that, she couldn’t attend it. On another flight, she thought to herself, “Bappa, is baar aapki puja miss ho jaegi,” and continued doing her work.

But to her absolute surprise, a passenger brought a Ganpati idol on the flight she was operating, right at the time of Ganpati Puja. Anuradha was filled with joy. She welcomed the passenger and the Lord Ganesha idol and even performed a small puja right inside the plane.

Anuradha posted the video on her Instagram account (@fromcrewtocrayons) with a caption that read, “Sometimes, Bappa has a way of making you feel His presence exactly when you need it the most. There I was… at 35,000 feet… doing my puja, saying my prayers, and taking Bappa’s blessings. At that moment, it genuinely felt like Bappa was telling me…Main tumhare saath hoon, chahe tum kahin bhi ho.” 

And I think yeh kehna bilkul galat nahi hoga…Jo hum plan karte hain, usse kahin zyaada achha Bappa ka plan hota hai.”  Thank you, Bappa… for this beautiful blessing, this beautiful moment, and this unforgettable experience. Ganpati Bappa Morya!
