A Divine Touch!!!

 🙏🏻Swamiye Sharanam Ayyappa 🙏🏻

With the blessings n prayers of you all, successfully finished the sabari trip. 

Starting by visiting Guruvayoor, Kalady and Chotanikkara on 1st December.


On 2nd dec morning, after kettunira we reached erumeli and by afternoon to kalaketty from where we started our trek through LONG ROUTE and stopped at Azhutha kadavvu (base) for the night.


3rd morning at 7am, we started from azhutha. Halting in between at ascending kallidamkunnu, injiparakota and decending the hill to mukkuzhi and again ascending the trek, we reached karimalai top at 6 pm where we rested for the day.


On 4th morning we started trecking down karimala, crossing Veliyaaanavattam, cheriyaanavattam, reached pamba by 3.30pm  where we stopped to start trekking up to the final destination through neelimalai. 

By 6pm we had the first look of the Almighty climbing the Punyamaaya Pathinettampadi, followed by pushpabhishekam to Lord Ayyappan.


On 5th early morning we went for Ghee Abhishek and Asthabhishekam where we could wait and see the Lord for almost for 10 minutes just like the pushpabhishekam and also got the kalabham and chadachadayam. I would be honest to say, to be  blessed to get this "Dhivyadarshanam" of lord Ayyappan. 

Post lunch we started climbing down the Neelimala and reached Pamba to travel and stay in Senkottai for the rest of the day.


6th December, we could cover the 3 prominent places of Dharmasastha - Acchan kovil Arasan, Aariyankaavu Ayyan & finally to Kulathoorpuzha balakkan where we removed our Mudra mala.


A pilgrim is essential to undo the things done and do the new things to test your caliber. Though the past week looked tough but I felt an external push to reach the one and only Destination. 


 


Walking nearly 40kms from the dense forest in unknown and difficult terrains, climbing 7 mountains, getting leech bites, experiencing the presence of wild animals in close localities, rains and shivering colds, all the hurdles loose its prestige when I surrendered to him.

Today!!

Its the last day of the year, not your life. Things may change or not. People may leave or come closer., remember it all remains in your attitude and the approach you see towards your life. Sitting behind and cursing the year for being bad is not the mistake of the time, its our mistake of not utilizing the time accordingly. Waiting for the change to happen in the coming year is just waste of time, unless we put our own efforts. Keep in mind everyday is a new chapter in our life. Format it, or turn it to a history, remains in our hands. Its neither the last, nor the beginning. Happy New Year

Carrying it Each day.

I love to write about Mumbai locals, there are enough things to learn through each and every journey you travel. You come across many faces each day. Some are the same who are used to this life, and some are new, confused, pissed and always wondering why did they land here. Whatever it's, the population index always shows, increase in new comers each year. Ask every Mumbaikar, who ply through local trains here and there each day, about the troubles he faces, he would tell you many. One of the major issue will be of carrying his 'Backpacks!' Every morning you get ready and start to your office with your backpack on your back, like an innocent child, goes to school. You take the bridge, subway or walk through the track the most dangerous things of all and reach the platform to board your train, which will take you to your destination. And at that moment you listen to the announcement of arrival of your local. This announcement takes you to a different level. It converts

Love is an extraordinary emotion that has the power to transcend boundaries and transform lives. It can be found in the most unexpected places, permeating our relationships with partners, parents, siblings, and friends. However, the true essence of love lies in its ability to extend beyond personal connections and embrace the collective well-being of society. In this blog, we explore the concept of distributed love, emphasizing the importance of sharing love with the world around us. Love is not limited to romantic relationships alone; it exists in numerous forms and can be found in everyday interactions. A warm smile to a stranger, a kind word to a coworker, or a compassionate act of service to those in need—all these instances are manifestations of love. Recognizing and appreciating love's diverse expressions allows us to connect with the world in a more profound and meaningful way. To experience the full potential of love, it is vital to embrace a broad perspective that enco
