RANDOM THOUGHTS

  Toronto Shanmuganathaswamy Temple  Yesterday's visit to the Murugan Temple which goes by the name of Shanmuganathaswamy Temple at Scarborough in Toronto had many surprising inputs ,  A large number of devotees had assembled for the evening Prayers , This was first day of the Rama Navami Festival . The THER ULA OF THE VINAYAKAR with the Recitation of the Slokas and the accompanying Music . It was a big surprise to see the Rama Navami Festival being Celebrated with Equal Devotion if not more in a place which is some  13800 Kms away from my Native Place .

         SCARBOROUGH BALAJI TEMPLE  Being a Permanent Resident of Canada and Residing in Toronto where there are many HINDU TEMPLES ; I get a chance to visit these Temples quite often during my annual visits during  the last 10 years ,  The latest one was on Last Saturday ,  The BALAJI Temple at Scarborough is one such Temple , The arrangements and cleanliness of the place  simply amazes me , one gets a special vibe while offering your Prayers here , Balaji on the raised Pedestal is visible even from quite a distance ,
