DIWALI CRACKERS

 I am extremely delightful to enjoy the famous Diwali festival as a Hindu in the neighbouring state of Tamil Nadu, both in the capital city Chennai, a ten years before & now at Coimbatore. The crackers are seen flying high up in the air with enormous sound and light. The night before was full of colorful lights cracked across the skies of this city . The bench flower cracker known as `mesapoo` in Malayalam was cracked by the kids al around the city. The atmosphere was almost white due to the crackers in the dark, The crackers were heard almost every couple of seconds and the smell of the same was alround which I thoroughly enjoyed walking through the city.  The Diwali is also famous for the sweets shared by the people whole over India, especially , the Jilebi, the laddu, the mysore pak, sona pappadi , peda and the Muruk ,made from rice here in Southern part of India.

My Spiritual Journey to Palani, Sri Subhramanya/Muruga temple, TamilNadu.

 I started from Shornur, a railway junction Station ,at the southern part of India, Kerala. Here, I boarded a train to Palghat Junction station. Reached there after almost an one and half hour journey (normal passenger train , and not an express train which can reach within one hour). Then took lunch from the Palghat junction station, boarded another train to Palani hills at Tamil nadu. Away in 2000 starting, this train was a meter guage , small train. Now adays its running in broad guage. Almost took 4 hours of journey to the foothills of Palani.  The journey was thoroughly enjoyed with the greenery around, the paddy fields, coconut plants filled plains, sunflower fields can also be seen with lot of rivers or ponds nearby. It was almost a cool journey , reached around 6 pm. There we can take Autorikshaw , that is run on motor with three wheels , can occuppy almost 4 people. But, as this vehicle is common in India, I took another vehicle which is rarely seen or used in public ...

   πŸ’œπŸ’™πŸ’šπŸ’›Georgia,,,,,,    My Georgian trip---  Started from Kuwait ,,,,on 2nd May 2019. Pleasant trip alone ,seeing such a diversity in one small nation separated from USSR in 90`s, Georgia is known for its ancient wine producers . Stayed in a hotel in the capital city , Tbilisi, was a beautiful old town with the Mother of Georgia statue on the moutain, the golden church in the city , beautiful river front with freedom bridge and a park nearby. The Kazbek region on far north of Georgia,the border mountain range with Russia is snow filled with such a chilling natural beauty.

Had an opportunity in communuicating with them while on a local bus trip to the Mtatsminda amusing park on top of the old Tiblisi mounta...

BOOK ON SPIRITUALITY - LIVING WITH THE HIMALAYAN MASTERS BY SWAMI RAMA

I am so spiritual these days, reading books on Great Himalayas,enjoyed each and every bit of the books that i read namely,,Living with the Himalayan Masters by Swami Rama, and Apprenticed to a Himalayan Master by Sri M. These books really help us to fresh up our minds, reach for our heritage , happy with what all we get from the almighty , hatred washes away and love for everyone rushes to our blood.What all miracles do we want to live in this competitive universe of ours.Day by day competition for not only for survival but  for making money is that make this beautiful pleasant world somewhat similar to hell that we have studied ,heard in the epic stories or fictitious books that we have read.The surroundings that we considered closer to hell will be miraculously changed over to glorious heaven like if we have gone through this books written by 2 real saints who have lived and been living in our common world.I wish, you all too enjoy the actual pleasure in living in the beauty of ...
