I’m recharged- My trip to Ramanashrama

My attachment with Tiruvannamalai started from last 35 years. As my father is devotee of Shri Ramana Maharshi, I used to come with my parents here. This time visited Ramanshrama with some of my friends.

On the way , I could capture photos of some temples in Tamilnadu. The architecture is different from the architecture of temples in Karnataka. Most of the temples have huge colourful idols. I really like these.

The travel was pleasant, at 2 PM we reached our destination, the Ramanashrama. Once I enetered here I felt, I’m purified, all my agonies vanished. That’s the sacredness of this place!

I remembered the Giri Pradakshina , I used to do, with my father , when I was a kid. He used to tell me all the stories of the temples and  about  Bhagavan Shri Raman Maharshi.
Next day we visited Arunachaleshwara Temple. I really get astonished by looking at these kind of Huge Temples! The craftsmen should have taken years to build these kind of huge temples.

Again back to Shri Ramanshrama, I could capture a photo of a beautiful white peacock, which was roaming fearlessly .

Why it will have any fear, in such a sacred place of  Great Saint Bhagavan Shri Ramana!

We returned with hearts filled with peace and devotion. That’s why I compare , my trip to Shri Ramanshrama ,with my visit to my mother’s place. Everytime I visit my mother, while returning my heart will be filled with love and joy and bags full of sweets my mother gives. And while returning from Ramanshrama my heart fills with peace, eternal joy and devotion. My sufferings and pains are vanished , mind filled with peace. I again  prayed Bhagavan to forgive all my past sins and show me the  right direction to move in my life and also grow spiritually. The smile he has on his face assured me the same.

May Bhagavan give all that you want in your life
