Thiruppullani welcomes

[Guest guest]

Dear

all who plan to visit Thiruppullani for Sethu yathra,

 

 

 

Eventhough

many do not experience any difficulty, adiyen notice some sevarthis,

due to their lack of geographical idea of this part of Tamil Nadu do

not plan their visits suitably and thereby either miss to visit

nearby Divya Desams or put to travel many a kilometer unnecessarily

wasting their time, energy and money. To help them I add this note. Please check up this map

Thiruppullani,

situated 8KMs south of Ramanathapuram (PLEASE NOTE NOT RAMESWARAM)

the

district headquaters of Ramanathapuram District. It can be reached

 

 

 

BY

TRAIN: At present only one train Sethu Express is being operated

between Chennai and Rameswaram. It starts from Chennai by 5 P.M. And

reaches Ramanathapuram by 4 A.M. Next morning. May be by the end of

June 2008, on completion of gauge conversion works from Mana madurai

to Karaikkudi are over, several trains may be operated. Please note

that Rameswaram is 60 Kms away from Ramanathapuram. Get down at

Ramanathapuram.(Many unknowingly go upto Rameswaram and return

back.) Just in front of Station, town buses will be waiting for the

passangers. Route nos 1, 5, 17 and 10 (prominantly displaying

Thiruppullani Temple) will bring you here within 20 mts. Autos and

taxis are also available and without any hesitation or suspicion (as

it is an odd hour for strangers) they can be hired. Autos charge Rs.

100 to 120 and taxis around Rs 200.

From

Madurai there are are three trains, by 6AM, by 5.30Pm and by 11PM.

You can plan accodingly.

By

BUS:

 

Ramanathapuram

is well connected from almost all district headquarters and for

those coming from Chennai, plenty of Omni buses and State

corporation Ultra Delux buses are availble to Ramanathapuram. They

start from 4.30PM to 8PM.from Koyambedu terminus. Normally the state

owned buses reach Ramanathapuram atleast before 7.30AM the private

buses normally reach only by 10AM or even after that. If you come by

omni bus please prepare to spend a day here as having a holy dip at

Sethu and Perumal Sevai may be difficult.

Those

coming from Coimabatore or Bangalore side you have to come via

Madurai and at Madurai ,either from Railway station or from

Arappalayam bus stand, please go to the central bus stand

(Mattuthavani) from where every five minutes a bus starts for

Ramanathapuram.

 

Those

coming by bus or in their own vehicles via Trichy or Madurai can

suitably plan to

 

visit

Thirumayam and Thirukkoshtiyur en route Thiruppullani and stay at

Thiruppullani in the

 

evening

and can have Perumal sevai next morning. If time permits you can

visit Nava Thiruppa

 

this

from here. Just four hours journey but the roads are being laid only

now and so may not be

 

comfortable

for travelling by modern cars. (By bus no problem)

 

 

At

Srimad Andavan Ashramam you can conveniently stay. At Sri Ahobila

Mutt and Sri Vanama

malai

mutt also they provide rooms. For those who shun paraannam Andavan

Ashramam provides thathiyonnam (or on request some ohorais). For

others two Srivaishnava families take care of.

As

adiyen frequently meet sevarthis confusing between Rameswaram and

Ramanatha puram and thereby put themselves needless trouble, this

information is provided. Those with full knowledge may kindly excuse

me.

 

 

And

those who are yet to visit this “Saranagatha Kshethram†please

come atleast once in your lifetime. A Sthala slokam says “ One can

count the stars in the sky; one can count the sand in the whole world

but even that thousand-tongued AdhiSesha can not count the puNyam one

receives even at the mere sight of Adhi Sethu here†Come and enjoy

that “villAl ilangai malanka charam thurantha vallALanâ€
