Trip to Mantralayam - Sep 2nd and Sep 3rd

By the grace of Sri Hari, Vayu and Guru Rayar, I was blessed to undertake the trip to Mantralayam leaving on Sep 1st from Chennai. It was a comfortable trip to Mantralayam by HIS grace and once I landed in MALM Road station, I quickly took an auto, checked in to my usual lodge and hurried to have the darshan of rayar.

I have captured the moments here in the following links using my mobile camera:

Overall, it was a great experience as always any visit to moola brindavanam is, with only a sad point of rayar not blessing with tirta prasada on 3-Sep - since it was getting very late in the afternoon and I had a train to catch back to Chennai, I had to leave MALM without tirta prasada on that day - there should have been some reason for this for which Rayar had done this.....
