Building Guru Raghavendra Mrithika Brindavanam: Experiences

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.

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 ...

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.

I have captured the moments here in the following links using my mobile camera: (Mangalarthi to the Moola brindavana on 02-Sep afternoon): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtDJm3Mcpzo (Rathothsava clippings on 02-Sep night – The image clarity is not that good since I had taken it from my mobile camera) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PucSpxSLnc4 (Maha mangalarthi to the moola brindavana on 02-Sep night after the rathothsava) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hzhYR-GAgY 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...
