Today I know I gave birth to Shiva: Gaia Mother Sofia aka Sofia Hayat

In the quest to find ‘inner peace’ and 'spiritual enlightenment', former Bigg Boss contestant turned nun, Gaia Mother Sofia aka Sofia Hayat, has traveled to the Kailash temple in Aurangabad. The former model has set out on the pilgrimage to find peace and also to learn more about the gods.

Sofia uploaded several photos and videos of her various spiritual encounters on her Instagram account. Going by her long notes, it sure looks like the former actress has had an enlightening experience there.

However, one statement in her long notes had made a few followers raise an eyebrow. Writing about her experience while meditating in front of a Shivling, Sofia says, “Today I know I gave birth to Shiva. Today he came back to me and is inside me.”

Kailash temple in Aurangabad is so so powerful. I couldn't breathe. I felt a massive magnetic energy draw my head to the Shiv Lingh. I was shaking for 1hr. I could not lift my head from the Shiv Lingh it was stuck like a magnetic. Something so powerful is happening. Om namah shivaya. My body is changing. Today I know I gave birth to Shiva. Today he came back to me and is inside me. I felt scared for such a big powerful change in my body. I am changing back to who I am. The Gods are coming back. The power in me is so great. Shiva is here inside me. It is so powerful I am shaking in my very soul. The time is here. Sacred children it is here. - Gaia Mother Sofia

She also encouraged several devotees to visit the temple and seek Lord Shiva’s blessings. Sofia had also visited the holy city of Varanaci, where she traveled around the city and befriended a cow, a street vendor and sought blessings from a sadhu.
