00:00In the dense forest of Parvatrang in Satpuda, an Italian young tourist, who was on a holiday in Gavilgad fort,
00:09got scared as he could not get out of the fort even in the dark.
00:14The workers of Swarajya Seva Pratishthan went to the fort in the dark of the night,
00:20searched for him and brought him out of the fort.
00:26We took a decision in the middle of the night.
00:28There were six of us.
00:30We got up at 7 o'clock in the morning,
00:32went out of the fort and searched for him.
00:35In this forest, where the fort is located,
00:39it is a totally protected area.
00:41In this area, as per the wildlife act,
00:43we are exposed to other crimes.
00:46Secondly, in this area,
00:48there is a large number of wild animals.
00:51In this area, there is a large number of wild animals,
00:55such as tigers, leopards, deer, and wild dogs.
01:00We noticed this and started our trek to search for him.
01:07While starting the trek, we crossed the Shardul Darwaza,
01:10then we crossed the Delhi Darwaza and reached in front of the Delhi Darwaza.
01:14We did not know his name.
01:16We did not know that he was from Italy.
01:18Many children asked him,
01:20when he was a student,
01:23can you speak to him in Hindi?
01:25He did not understand Hindi.
01:27When he spoke to them,
01:29they understood only Hindi and Spanish.
01:33That incident continues.
01:36We stopped at a small mosque to search for him.
01:41It was around 8.30 pm.
01:44It was pitch black.
01:46We used a torch to make the darkness go away.
01:50We stopped at a small mosque to search for him.
01:58We wanted to give him a chance.
02:02There is only one way.
02:03If there is a wild animal in front of us,
02:05it will attack us.
02:06I had an idea.
02:08I asked him, where are you Sam?
02:10I asked him to make a sound.
02:12We did not know his name.
02:13When I made the sound,
02:15and when the sound increased,
02:17and when the sound decreased,
02:19just a few seconds later,
02:21outside the small mosque,
02:23the NG people came out and started looking at us.
02:28The way they looked at us was horrible.
02:32In such a pitch black night,
02:35in the middle of the lake,
02:36in the dense forest,
02:38where wild animals live,
02:40he was sitting alone.
02:42We asked him, how did you come here?
02:45When we met him and started talking to him,
02:47he asked us,
02:49how did you come here?
02:51He spoke both our languages.
02:53He was very interested.
02:54But we still spoke to him politely.
02:57We gave him a satwana.
02:59He said,
03:01this is our vision.
03:03When he went to take a picture,
03:06he felt that we should do meditation.
03:09Yoga and meditation.
03:11These two things are very important.
03:13While meditating,
03:14he sat on the bank of the lake,
03:16in that small mosque.
03:18He sat there for 5-10 minutes.
03:21He sat there for a long time.
03:23When he opened his eyes,
03:25he saw pitch black in front of his eyes.
03:27A dense forest,
03:28a loud noise.
03:30Obviously,
03:31if we were there,
03:32we would have thought,
03:33a new person,
03:34a new place,
03:35where to go.
03:36He took a decision,
03:37ignoring everything,
03:38that we can't go outside.
03:40The fort closes at 6 o'clock.
03:42So, he decided to stay there.
03:45This is how he understood.
03:47Look,
03:48a person from a foreign country,
03:50who stayed in our forest,
03:51in our fort.
03:52It was our duty,
03:53when we got to know,
03:55I called Shiva Bhunna.
03:57I asked Shiva Bhunna,
03:58Dada,
03:59if such a person comes,
04:00where will he stay?
04:01Shiva Bhunna guided us properly.
04:02You go to the small mosque.
04:04Go and search,
04:05Baruch Cha Kothar,
04:06Ghol Park, JIT.
04:08According to Shiva Bhunna,
04:10we went to the same location.
04:11And to the same location,
04:12where we were supposed to shoot,
04:14we took our Angelo bus.
04:16These few days,
04:17it was wonderful.
04:19The first day,
04:20I visited the fort.
04:21I enjoyed a lot the visit.
04:24But,
04:25I was late,
04:27and it became dark.
04:29So, it became a little scary.
04:31And I tried to refuse
04:33in one ruin of the fort.
04:35But,
04:36everything was dark.
04:39But,
04:40during the evening,
04:42came Rakesh,
04:43and saved me,
04:44with the torch light.
04:46And I was happy when he came,
04:49and he brought me out.
04:51Then,
04:52both Rakesh and the policeman
04:54were very good with me,
04:57and helped me a lot,
04:58and gave me a host.
05:00And helped me to do all the things,
05:03and explained to me
05:07what was my stakes,
05:10and in what danger I was.
05:14But,
05:15then I was saved,
05:17and they took care of me.
05:18And today was wonderful.
05:20I enjoyed all the town,
05:22and the nature around,
05:24and visited the fort,
05:26and the guide,
05:27and explained me a lot of things
05:29that I didn't know about the fort.
05:31So,
05:32it was a wonderful experience.
05:34And,
05:35in total,
05:36it was very wonderful.
