Ayodhya Yaatraa Day 7 - 710

            AYODHYA YAATRAA - DAY 7                                    

            VALEDICTORY FUNCTION 



All things Good as they say have to unfortunately come to an end. The last Seven Days have been unique in more ways than one . Near 70 Persons Sharing Space and Experiences with totally unknown persons and coming from totally different and Contrasting Backgrounds has all the ingredients for differences of opinion between the Participants and exchange of heated conversations and arguments. 

Ashok and his team ensured that no such thing happened and the single minded goal of all to make the Yatra a Success was the stand out Feature . 

Timings were maintained to near perfection . Food that was soft on the stomach and with a different Sweet each day was a special Feature . 

As pointed out by Seshadrinathan , for many in the group , this was the first time that many  were taking their better halves out for Seven  Days at a Stretch .This was not for a Family Reunion or a stay with their Children but away from all household Chores to an all new experience and to a thus far unseen  new Devine Location and that too by Flight .



Added to this is was the fact that we  All had Good a Darshan and were able to  complete  other religious and spiritual rituals associated with these  places . 



Thanks to Ashok and His Team for making this Yaatraa a Huge Success which is sure to remain in our minds for long . 



Special mention must be made of the Kitchen and Transport Staff and every single person for their efforts to make this a happy journey . 

The Group Snap with BUDHA as a backdrop was a real surprise as was the Idol of Annapoorni , Linga and Nandi as a Memento presented by Sunder Travels to every member. 

Looking Forward to a meet ,  God Willing to a New Place in Future .

AYODHYA YAATRA DAY 1 - 702

 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 - 686

 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...
