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.....

Updates on the construction!!!

Sri Lakshmi Nrsimha Para Brahmane Namaha! Sri Hanumathe Namaha! Sri Gurubyo Namaha! Sincere apologies for the lack of progress updates for the last couple of months. It is not like Rayar has stopped his guidance but owing to a lot of factors beyond our control, have not been able to keep giving updates on the progress. The construction of Rayar mrithika brindavan near to Kanchipuram has been progressing albeit slowly. Currently, purely by HIS grace, the roofing and construction of the gho-shala, office and store rooms and temple madapalli has been completed. The small video shoot available at the following URL gives us an idea of how these parts looks like currently:       http://tinyurl.com/85oowr2 The signs of the first planting of banana tree has started sprouting finally has started to happen and the following URL gives an idea of the same:       http://tinyurl.com/d5fppcr The next plan is to start the construction of the main temple...

Recent experiences with Rayar Brindavanam!!!

It was about a week back when again I had an exciting experience - of how Rayar is watching me and answering to my thoughts. I just wanted to share these experiences here in this post.... I do visit the oldest Rayar brindavan in Chennai - close to Warren Road in Alwarpet - on a regular basis, take his darshan and then start attending the office work. HE has been allowing this to happen for the last two-odd years and it also gives me a lot of peace of mind. Last week, I was just trying to get in touch with someone in Mantralayam for quite a few days to enquire about a specific item for the new upcoming Rayar brindavana temple and I was continuously on a daily basis unsuccessful in getting in touch with him. On a particular day, after doing the usual pradakshina, I was just sitting in front of the brindavan and pleading with HIM asking him the reasons behind why I was unsuccessful till now in this task and should I be coming to Mantralayam for this clarification since this would help me ...

Trip to Dwaraka/Pushkar/Kurukshetra/Brindavan

By the divine grace of Sri Hari, Vayu and Guru Rayar, I had an opportunity to be part of a 3000-yatrika team visting places on this country which had the fortune of where Sri Krishna had been born/played/performed leelas/ruled and finally left for Sri Vaikunta. Some of the places I had recorded using my cell phone camera and I should admit that I am a novice beginner in video photography. In order to give you a glimpse of some of these places that we had visited, I am mentoning their significance and their associated video link in youtube. Sarvam Krishnarpanarmastu. Kusum Sarovar – Goverdan This is a beautiful lake that is well maintained even till date. Sri Krishna used to pluck the flowers from plants here and place it on Gopikas’ hairs. This was the starting point for our Goverdan giri parikrama walk. There is a small temple for Uddhavar here. When Uddhavar saw the experience that Sri Krishna was giving to all the gopikas, Uddhavar wished and longed for a birth as a plant in Goverda...
