sholingur-108 divya desanagal

As a great believer in almighty, i have had some experiences in life which are rather strange and difficult to believe.

However when such things take place in life, the onlything that can explain all these, is the power of almighty.

I do not want this post to be mistaken as a sort of one more preaching by a believer to a non believer. Rather this is simply a record of proceedings and connecting events of the past to the present and admiring the sequence behind the same.

It was exactly 3 years back in 2008,NOV/DEC, that i voluntarily made a vow to visit Shilingur, the twin hill temples , of lord NARASIMHA SWAMY AND LORD ANJANEYA.And that trip was with a purpose.To seek peace as i was going thru multitude of problems and tensions not only in official life but also in personal life. More than me my siblings (one at Raichur and the other at Mumbai) were equally going thru difficult periods.The single prayer was to give content and peace of mind in respective walks of life.And there were other reasons too at that time. I had an official car, and i was younger by three years and the traces of Diabetes had not been detected then.,

i remember having left at 6 am from my reidence, reaching Sholingur at 8pm and covering b0th hills (One with 1300 steps and the other with 600 steps )by about 10.30 am and returning back home by 2pm.My pryaers then went like this"
Hey almighty, fulfill the dreams that my children cherish, if they are according to Dharma, SAVE THEM OF SUFFERINGS as a result of seperation from near and dear, and walk along with thme when they are in distress and help them to overcome the same, and give me content of seeing them contended".

I also remebered having said in heart of hearts as to whether at all i can make another trip to this place my gratitude, once my prayers are fulfilled as i did not know then how long it was going to take to answer my prayers.

And then the events started taking place with perfection and discipline.My siblings got their dreams fulfilled or are in the process of getting them fulfilled and i had peacefully retired waiting on my wings to start my second innings.Definitely things have improved a lot and a sence of contentment is already pervading in every deed and act .

then came this call, as if it was the reminder from almighty itself.One of my friends just called me on Sunday the 4th, to enquire whether i am free to join with him to a trip to Sholingur on 6th as it happened to be a holiday.WITH OUT any second thought i gave my consent.

Five of us in a maruthi alto left at 5.30 am/ Roads were poor due to recent heavy rains and the journey took lamost 3 hrs to reach Sholingur, via Arakkonam and Kaveriapkkam.Thoughtfully my friends have arranged a place thru our contacts there to answer to nature's call,and to have a good cup of steaming coffee.Immediately after that we started climbing .When we went up the hill, the crowds(due to holiday) made us wonder as to whether we will have the energy to stand for 2/3 hrs and complete the dharshan.once again this contact of ours helped us in getting thru and when we stood in sanctum sanctorum i was full of happiness, bliss and contentment as HE had seen me sailing thru the worst period.I offered my humble prayers to the MIGHTY one.We got down and started clibing the hILL to Anjaneya temple an hour and a half alter at about 12 noon.The weather was friendly and comfotable.When we reached
the hill top at about 12.40 , the archagas alowed us to sit in front of Njaneay for a full three minutes. The experince is some thing which can not be described but can only be felt.The stala purana here is that Yoga Narasimha has directed Anjaneya swami to bless all his disciples who climb both hills and who reach him with pure heart and prayers.THough i was rehearsing in my mind while climbing up all the way as to what are all the prayers i should make , when we sat in sanctum sanctorum, my entire mind was filled onlyw ith a heavenly feeling and the prayers have become secondary.

After all HE knew what we should be blessed with and when .
ETHU NADANTHATHO ADHU NANRAGAVE NADANTHATHU
ETHU NADAKKIRATHO ADHUVUM NANDRAGAVE NADAKKIRATHU
ETHU NADAKKA VENDUMO ADHUVUM NANDRAGAVE NADAKKUM.

We had lunch , a homely meal at Sholingur itself, and while returning had time and enegy and the blessings to cover three more abodes of lORD INCLUDING THE 107TH AND 108TH Punya shetras which are available for oneself only after death. But out of HIS pure love for HIS devottes HE had chosen to bless them on earth itself .These two place are known as 'THIRUPPAR KADAL" and "Vaikunta nathar Koil"the former situated in a place called Thiruppar kadal itself (some 3 KMS from Kaveri patnam) while the other is situated in a place called (Iyyampaettai ...Some how Rajini's film Thillu mullu came to memory)seven kilo meters from Kaveripatnam in opposite direction.

By the time we returned homs after having dinner at the Hi way inn it was 10.30 pm and the legs which were carrying allthrough have started pleading for rest and massage.But the body and more importantly the mind was feeling more
contended and energised.

YES..HE KNEW WHEN TO REMIND US TO FULFILL THE PRAYERS AFTER HIS HAVING BLESSED US THRU.

THE SECOND INNINGS HAD A GOOD START INDEED!!
