The list!!!!

I have limited time for my posts. So, I have decided to just list the places we plan to visit.

Jan 23, 24 Tirumalai
For 3 days between 25th and Feb 3rd, for Sulochana's sake we will be visiting Srirangam, Trichy, Tanjore, Thiruvayur, Samayapuram area by car. Some are repeats for the rest of the three.
Feb 4th thru Feb 27th we plan to cover the following.Kolhapur, Pune, Bhimeswar, Asta Vinayakas, Aurangabad, Birla, nasik, Dwaraka, Nageswar, Ujjain, Omkareswar, Khandwa, Naimisha aranya, Ayodhya, Puri Jagannatha.

I just listed the names. Some are towns and some are the actual names of the divine forms.
I will go through one by one later. This time, I am unable to take my cameras even around the temples, let alone inside. May not be able to add photos.

Co-existance and more.....

Sorry it took me so long to access the internet. The coexistance (aka sahajeevanam) was with flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, mice, cats (are allowed inside the house to hunt the mice), squirrels and more in and around the house. The broader view covered dogs, pigs, birds, cows, water buffaloes. donkeys, horses, monkeys - all stray one. I thought of my backyard in Cleveland visited by deers, pheasants, robins, one cardinal, bluebirds, rabbits, geese, other misc. little birds and squirrels.

Now coming to the first leg of our yatra, we have visited Mantralayam and Srisailam and Puttaparthi (Dec 31st)in December. Had a dip in Tungabhadra river in Mantralayam for the pushkaram. I will write the specifics later.

We attended my grand daughter's first birthday Aayushhomam function celebrated by Srikanth, Gayatri and their family. This is the first experience for me attending such a wonderful religious and spiritual function. Sharanya thoroughly enjoyed herself. Soon she will be making her first visit to Tirupathi with her parents and grand parents. I will send photos later.

Rao and I will be celebrating our 40th wedding day on Jan 24th in Tirumalai by sponsoring the wedding ceremony (Kalyanam) of Lord Venkateswara and Padmavathi.



Will try to write more soon.
