That sounds wonderful. It’s cherished when devotees have such direct darshan and guidance at a sacred place like Shikharji, especially with the involvement of a respected elder (Naniji) in guiding the path.

If you’d like, I can share brief Jain reflections related to Shikharji, the significance of Tirthankaras and pilgrim practices there, or prayers and mantras commonly recited on such visits. I can also explain how Digambar and Shwetambar traditions view tirtha-darshan and guru-seva in this context, in simple terms.
