Vedic way fo Foretelling

Yet another proof how powerful our astrological and vedic systems are. When I removed the date sheet on the morning of 15th April I noticed the writings that there are chances of rain for that day. Within a couple of hours I received call from Chennai that there is rain. Its not at all a surprise for me as these things are on perfect match still I started to take note of this. This is the first time I realized it out of state and found that there were rains in Pune also amidst the mercury of that day sores to 34-36. You can also watch these things next time when you remove your daily calendar sheet.

Trip to Kumbakonam - II

SriRamaswamy temple has rich paintings depicting scenes from Ramayanam. And the statue of God is a must see for its architectural beauty. It’s a must see temple in Kumbakonam ( I would recommend). I enjoyed seeing the God in sanctum sanctorium.

Then we moved to Sri Saragapani temple which is again one among the 108 divyadesams.

If Sri Oppilyappan avoids salt in his foods for the true devotion of his baktha then this perumal does the “thithi” rituals ( darpanam & upavasam ) for one of his bakthan who died on his feet. Yet again I planned to visit this temple as it is rich in architectural marvels ( sannadhi itself in the form of a ratham). Azhwars have enjoyed this perumal as “aravaamudan” whose literal meaning is that whatever number of times we see him he doesn’t het bored. We can still enjoy them. But I still now prefer sri namperumal of srirangam followed by sri Veeraragavar of Trivellore, in this category.

Thus ended our second day’s trip in Kumbakonam. Back to Govt. Guest house.!

Third day we started as yearly as 7.30 headed towards Mayiladuthurai aka Mayavaram.

On this way lies some landmarks

1. Aduthurai ( Rice research center )

2. Thirupuvanam ( famous for silks )

3. Thiruvidaimrudhur ( famous Sivan temple )

4. Minister Ko.si.Mani’s house ( J )

We had breakfast at Hotel pams, then moved to lord Mayuranathar temple. It’s one among the big temples in Tamilnadu. Its governed by famous Dharumapuram adihnam.

We spent the hole day in this temple and enjoyed the whole ambience and again here annadhana scheme is implemented with great usefulness ( though it is not under HR department of state ). Finally back in Kumbakonam at 7.30 to catch the Rockfort exp.

Actually I thought of sharing lot of interesting informations but I’m keeping it in short.

Yet again I m planning for another trip to Kumbakonam in the future. Even if its for a week its not enough to cover all the temples in the Kumbakonam-Tanjore-thiruvarur belt. Thirukadayur and Thirupananthal are the two main temples which I missed in this trip. I hope to cover them in the next trip.
