Back from India

Hari Om

got back from India on 28th after 30 days trip in Tamilnadu & Kerala.

enjoyed the rains in Kerala, the heat in Madras, the serenity in Pondicherry.

had a good share of the time for spiritual sojourn ... bahgavad gita parayanam at chinmaya mission thrissur, darshan at chidambaram, meditation at aurobindo ashram pondicherry and darshan at ramana maharshi ashram and arunachala temple on guru purnima day, guru puja by Swami Paramarthananda Saraswati at astika samajam alwarpet, visit to kalady (adi sankara's birthplace), sampoorna narayaneeyam parayanam and annadaanam at guruvayur on our father's birthday...

gave support to two upcoming vidyalayas .. one in guruvayur and other in vadakke samooha madom, thrissur .. this is the need of the hour ... feeding the poor is equally important but we also have to invest for passing on the knowledge in the vedas .... the veda pathasala in kalady is also doing very well ... there are very few people who are striving to take this forward by deoting their time... what surprised me is the high number of people (who have enough resources - money, health, time) sitting and commenting on the sad state of affairs ???!!

people wasting their time debating on the sabarimala episode.. some of them even losing faith just by reading newspaper reports .. can it be really called faith ?

as usual, the baggage had lot of books and CDs of spiritual discourses .. ended up paying excess baggage at the airport ... still worth it !

shall get back with more musings ...
