My dear friends and like minded persons

 

It is really a painful matter I could not remain in touch with you

for the past one month due to continuous ill health and other health

problems. Perhaps this is the only one of the biggest time gaps

which we have in mutual exchange of opinions.

 

Any way, The Holy Pushkar to Bima River started on 28th of October

and amidst all odds myself and my team left for Maktal in

Mahaboobnagar District where the river enters Andhra Pradesh and

later joins River Krishna. The origin of the Bima River is

Bhimashankar near Pune on Sahyadri Hills. It is a jyothirlinga in

the name of Bhimashanker and the river originates from the lotus

feet of Lord. Our plan was to reach the place on 3rd and organize a

medical camp and also annadaana camp as is being done at every

Pushkar for the past twenty years or a little more. But Lord drove

us to the Holy place on 5th November where we enjoyed a nice and

most enjoyable time in the river and later in the evening hours left

for Kuruvagadda – or Kuruvapuram as narrated in Guru Charitra of

Lord Dattatreya. Lord Sri Paada Vallabha stayed in the island and

performed his Tapus.

 

The evening time of 5th remains to be in our memories, for, that

evening we sat in a dingi – a small local boat made up of bamboo and

that was the sun set time Soon the sky was bright with the moon

light of the full moon day and the waters of Krishna river started

sparkling. The Divinity of nature and the beauty of water – none of

us are able to put down on this small paper. We could understand why

the great poets encircled through the SARAT CHANDRA – the full moon

of the Season when sky is bright and atmosphere pleasant. We

reached the island while we were in our divine dreams in the small

dingi boat. Interesting it is, that day Sri Paada Vallabha Swamy

was decorated as Lord Dattatreya. The island provided accommodation to the

temple staff; to a few cows; and many such the prominent being a very big banyan

tree probably of 6000 years age. We offered prayers to the Lord and to the age

old tree and offered rice and jaggery to the cows AND MOST RELUCTANTLY left the

island once again in the dingi boat.

 

Richness is not in the money we earn – richness is in the aesthetic

senses and in the perception. We were considered to be the richest –

the richest, I confidently repeat. Any one who desires to have

such experience may have to wait for another 12 years when again the

pushkar to the Holy river Bima starts – and that should be during

Sarat Ritu and the Dingi should be available and the temple to

remain open – oh! so many ifs and buts.

 

It is HIS desire that this small group of HIS children to have a

darshan in this fashion – in the most memorable way of a LIFE TIME.

As usual we offered prayers on most of your behalf who have been

continuously in touch with us. Therefore, a part of our rich

earnings are already shared with you.

 

Yours affly HARA HARA MAHADEVA DR P V SESHA SAI ASWAMEDHAYAAJI
