Guest guest Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Dear Devotees, Hare Krishna Hare Rama Greetings This is Srinivasan father of shreya. This group prayed for my daughter shreya to recover from her major brain surgery. By the grace of the Lord Guruvaurappan she is doing well. I once again thank you all for your prayers. I also request our group members to keep her in your prayers for her ayur, arogya, swokyam. Here I have written about my trip to guruvayoor and Tirupathy during this summer. Me and my family (with shreya) visited India (we live in Orlando, Florida, USA) during the month of May/June especially to visit Tirupathy and Guruvayoor. I and my wife went by walk from Tirupathy to Tirumala. It was a fascinating experience walking through the seven hills. We booked our tickets in advance for darshan. We stayed for more than a day and had a wonderful darshan of Lord Balaji. The atmosphere was fully charged with the holy names of Govindha. The exhilarating experience one feels at Tirumala can not be explained in words. We also visited the adjoining temples Sri Lakshmi Hayagrivar, Sri Varaha Swamy and Anjanayar in the mada veedhi. After having the darshan of Lord Sri Hari we went to Alarmelumanga Puram to have the Darshan of Goddess Padmavathi. After waiting in the queue for half an hour we had very good darshan of Goodess Padmavathi and prayed for her blessings. On Wednesday June 20th we went to Guruvayoor from Chennai. One of our family friends who live in Trichur booked a lodge for us near the temple. After taking bath we went to the Guruvayoorappan temple. We were just in time to do the thula baram for my children and our family before the temple closed for the noon. After having lunch we came back to the temple to stand in the queue. We were standing in the line chanting the holy names of the Lord Guruvayoorappan. When we were about to enter the sanctum sanctorum my little daughter shreya was already in sleep. We tried to wake her up, her eyes half opened she again went back to sleep. With the devotees pushing and thronging to have a glimpse of the lord, it was your turn to see the beautifully decorated lord guruvayoorappan in sandal wood paste. I can not describe the beauty of our Krishna, it was so wonderful. I stood there in front of the Lord for few seconds and prayed. When we came out of the sanctum sanctorum, my wife wanted to go and see the Lord one more time when my daughter was awake. We were wondering how we can go again to see the lord since the queue was so long. My wife then saw there was some special entrance on the right hand side and stood there. But the guard told her that the entrance was only for senior citizens and told her that there was a separate queue for the ladies on the left hand side and advised her to stand in that queue. When my wife went to the ladies queue she was surprised that the queue was small. With in few minutes she along with my daughter shreya had the darshan of the Lord Guruvayoorappan. This time my daughter was fully awake and had excellent darshan of the Lord. I personally believe this because of the mercy of the Lord Krishna. Inside temple we also went to the sannidhis of Lord Ayyappan and Bghavathy Amman. On the same day evening, we went to Mammiyoor temple. We had very good darshan of Lord Siva and Goddess paravathy, Lord Narayana, Lord Ganesh, Lord Subrahamanya and Lord Ayyappa. The Mammiyoor temple is really a very beautiful temple. The next day morning On June 21st, we again went to the Guruvayoor temple to have his darshan one more time. Since it was a Thursday, the queue was very long and it took us more than three hours to have the darshan of the Lord. This time Lord Guruvayoorappan was in different alankaram (decoration). We enjoyed and mesmerized by the beauty of the Lord. After our prayers and shashtanga namaskarams we went to back to our lodge and packed our things to go back to Chennai. I pray to the Lord to bless me to visit guruvayoor quite often and shower his blessings on this group and its family members. Thanks for your time for reading such a long email. Regards, Srinivasan ______________________________\ ____ Pinpoint customers who are looking for what you sell. http://searchmarketing./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Krishna ! Guruvayoorappa ! Dear Srinivasan ji, 'Bhaktavalsalan' has done it again . He has saved the life of little Sreya . For sure, He has blessed her with 'Ayur Arogya Saukhyam' . Also , Bhagavan has tested you with minor obstacles , but you came out succesful in the test by not giving up . It's all Bhagavan's 'leela indeed . Such divine experiences can't be explained in terms of logic . Those who are fortunate will experience it whereas those destined to suffer ( due to their bad 'karma' in the past and present lives ) will not accept the very existence of Bhagavan . When I first read your letter on Sreya's illness , I was 100% sure that given an opportunity Bhagavan will save her life . But I was 'skeptic whether you and wife will perform the sustained worship of Guruvayoorappan. I had sincerly prayed to Bhagavan to provide you and wife the right attitude to perform uninterrupted Bhakti-yoga to Him . Indeed, He has heard the prayers of all we devotees and provided the end result as requested . Bhagavan is with you and family . If you don't give up your present bhakti , He will be with you all for ever . All glories to Bhagavan Sree Guruayoorappan !
