Thai Ammavaasai at Ravanasamudram-464

    THAI AMMAVAASAI AT RAVANASAMUDRAM 31/01/22








The Annual Village Function at Ravanasamudram is always a well organized and well attended function . Natives from all over India and Abroad make it a point to be present in the village during the same .

Unfortunately Covid has been a dampner during the last 2 years .  We atleast had a toned down Celebrations in 2021 ,  but 2022 was a non event in the Temple because of the various restrictions and a total lock down imposed  during the Weekends which unfortunately coincided with our family's 8 th Day functions which fell on the 16 th of Jan 2022 .

Nevertheless , things seem to be  turning for the better now and restrictions are being slowly lifted . 

Over the last so many years with  me being away from RVS , Ramani has been of great help to get the Annual Village Functions 8 th Day formalities organized on our behalf . 

This year he  has taken the additional  trouble of initiating and organizing Alangaaram, Abhishekam and Prasadam at our Temple on our behalf on the Occasion of THAI  AMMAVAASAI  which is today . This ,  coincides as this does,   very close with my Grand Daughter Akshatha s First Star Birhday makes this event  all the more auspicious .

Pray that the PRESIDING DEITIES  - MEENAKSHI AND CHOCKANATHAR shower their Blessings on all of us . May  this be the End of the Pandemic. 

Thank you Ramani for making this possible .

 AYODHYA YAATRA  DAY - ONE     Sundar Holiday Travels  As instructed  by Mr Ashok of Sunder Travels , we were dot on time at 9.00 thanks primarily due to smooth flow of traffic from Vadapalani to the Chennai  Airport .  Other Yatrees also slowly trooped in . Ashok seemed to have his way with the Indigo Airways . Group Check in saved us a lot of time . Lunch packet Distribution done we were on our way and were before time at Lucknow .  Lucknow was a lot different from what I had imagined , airport was spotlessly clean as was their baggage handling services .  Mr Ashok saw to it that we were off on a Bus to Ayodhya in a flash . It was a near Two and a Half Hour journey and we reached the Resort by 5.30 pm .  Our Chennai to Lucknow Flight  was by The  Indigo Airbus A 320 Flight 6E 515  Aircraft with a capacity of 180 Passengers.  That , we from the Sunder Travels made up for the larger part of these Seats made ...

Ayodhya Yaatraa Day -3 - 704

Image
                  Ayodhya Yatra - Day 3  The highlight of the day was to be the Holy Dip in the Triveni Sangamam .  For the uninformed Triveni Sangamam is the place where the Three Rivers Ganga Yamuna and Saraswathy converge into one . It is the place where Veni Daanam is given after a bath in the River .  The 20 Minute Boat Ride takes you to this place of convergence of these three rivers . The Boatmen help you to take a dip in the water . Old set of clothes are discarded symbolising the discarding of everything bad and the start of a new fresh life .  Ganga is slightly murky while the Yamuna is clearer , Saraswathy is Antervaahini and it converges under water .  The Dhambadhi Pooja after the Dip in the Holy Waters  was performed with all the diligence that the occasion demands . The Sastrigal performed the Ritual which is an almost second time Marriage where vows are taken to lead a life in all happiness and be...

 VAIKOM VISIT - IN GODS OWN                     COUNTRY  Kerala has always been my favourite place of visit over the years . Its cleanliness , its greenery,  waterways , not to forget its spirituality and beautiful people in more ways than one  have always held  a special attraction for  me . We , that is me and my Better Half have visited Kerala before  and visited many of  its  Temples and Tourist Attractions.  One place missing in this list has been the Viakom  Sri Mahadeva Temple . We decided to embark  on  a visit to this place and Mami was spot on to point out that there was a direct Train from Ambasamudram to Vaikom Road by the 16792 Palaruvi Express starting from ASD at 11.57 PM and reaching Vaikom Road Station at 7.30 Am the next morning . Nothing could be better ,  We made the Reservations for both the Up  and Down Jorneys on the 11 th and 13 th Jun...
