GOD has been kind enough to guide me during tough times, and help me realise my potential. To convey my heart-felt thanks to the Almighty, I decided on this short trip down south (Chennai) where temples of most forms of GODS/GODDESSES are present at short distances from each other. Dad accompanied me since he had some offical work. Mom opted out because of winter.

Some of the temples we visited were the Pancha Mukha Anjaneya(5 faced Hanuman) at Santoshpuram, the Adi Parasakti temple at Melmaruvathur, Kolavazhi Amman temple in Mylapore, Sri Skandashram (Murugan temple) at Raja Keelpakkam. Most of these temples are quite old & popular. You can very well feel the spiritual vibes when you are in the premises. We then went to Pondicherry, where we visited the Aurobindo Ashram. The golden silence inside the ashram is something I was longing for. In Pondi, maximum people are of French origin.
We also visited the Ancient Cave temples of MAHABALIPURAM. Since childhood, I have always been fascinated by Indian mythology. I therfore bought a stone scuplture of Dasha Avtara, the ten forms of Lord Vishnu.
Since this trip was planned in a hurry, I forgot to carry a camera. I kept cursing myself for having missed the opportunity of capturing lot of wonderful stuff live. But, then some things are better imagined than watched again. Somehow managed to find & upload a pic from the net, which is from Mahabalipuram. The concluding part of my journey was something which is again interesting & quite amazing. But, I guess it should be discussed in my next blog. Till then guys, keep waiting!!
