THINKING THIRUVANNAMALAI

FROM GURU POORIMA ONWARDS, I STARTED REMINESCING ON THIRUVANNAMALAI AND GIRIVALAM WHICH HAS GIVEN ENOUGH FOOD FOR THOUGHTS. THINKING ABOUT IT HAS BEEN A SOUL SEARCHING EXPERIENCE AND IS THE GUIDING LIGHT OF MY LIFE.

OH!WHAT AN EXPERIENCE THE SUPREME HAS GIVEN TO THE RUSTIC RUDE INHUMAN BEING TO REALIZE LIFE, LEADING TO SPIRITUALITY TO GENERATE SELF CONTROL.

I HAVE GONE FOR GIRIVALAM 54 TIMES CONTINUOUSLY DURING THE POURNAMI(FULL MOON DAY) WITH SO MANY FRIENDS AND RELATIVES. THE VIBRATIONS,EXPERIENCES AND FEELINGS MADE ME THINK HOW MUCH THE LORD ARUNACHALESWARA SHOWERED HIS BLESSINGS ON THIS SOUL. SO I TOOK THIS OPPORTUNITY GIVEN BY HIM AND SURRENDERED AT HIS LOTUS FEET.HE IS SHOWING THE WAY TO LEAD AN HAPPY LIFE.

I SEE GURU DAKSHINAMOORTHY IN BHAGWAN RAMANA MAHARISHI. ON READING THE BOOKS OF HIS FOLLOWERS, HE NEVER ADVISES OR ASK TO FOLLOW SOME BOOKS BUT ON SEEING HIM ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! HE ARRIVED AT THIRUVANNAMALAI AT THE AGE OF 17 YEARS AND ATTAINED MUKTHI AT THE AGE OF 71 YEARS. LORD ARUNACHALESWARA WAS TAKING CARE OF HIM FOR ALL THE 54 YEARS. LIKE HIM SO MANY SIDDHAS, RISHIS, GNANIS WERE TAKEN CARE OF BY ANNAMALAIAR. RAMANA ASKED EVERY ONE TO EXPLORE AND REALIZE " WHO AM I". IF ONE GETS THE ANSWER THEN WE UNDERSTAND LIFE. I STARTED INSTEAD OF FINDING FAULTS OF OTHERS I STARTED RECTIFYING MY MISTAKES. NOW I REALIZED THE REALITY THAT LIFE TIME IS NOT ENOUGH TO RECTIFY AND THERE IS NO TIME FOR ME TO FIND FAULTS WITH OTHERS AND ADVISE THEM.EVEN THOUGH I FEEL IT WAS AN BELATED REALIZATION THE BLESSINGS OF LORD MADE ME TO REALIZE ATLEAST NOW.
