Kashi - Ma Varahi bless us

As I mentioned in early blog. After Global Village Season 2016 we had decided to go to Kashi and Pashupathinath Nepal. The actual journey started from Mookambika, as said to meet Shiva I should start from Devi as she is Shiva njana pradayani, a verse from Lalitha Sahsra Nama. Only Devi can guide you to Shiva or provide you the knowledge to reach Shiva. I have written here it in simple words but the has great meaning in depth. Thanks for the devine energy for being with me to explore, experience and express.

As usual, Mookambika gives the divine energy to drive ahead. I visited and took her blessings. The next day morning by Parsuram Express we started our journey first to Thiruvananthapuram to Pazhavangadi Ganapathi, then to Sree Padmanabha and to Atukkal Devi temple, which was my old circuit during 1993 frequently visited place including British Library. These temples I will do exclusive blog as they have played vital role in my praying.

We hired a cab and went to Rameshwaram day 2. For the first time, I was visiting there did all the rituals and washed my soul. I had been thinking about Sri Shankaracharya from Mookambika and same continued when reached Rameshwaram. Before leaving Rameshwaram visited Dr.A.P.J Kalaam's house now a museum opened to all. Though about some graceful stories which has divine effect in Sir APJ's life to be a proud gift to India.

Our next destination was Madurai Meenakshi. We reached there at 1pm and was there till evening as 

these places had their own glimpse of Srividya deities. Iam not elaborating as the topic is reaching Kashi. From there to see Bhogars Palani Murugan. We reached Palani around 8p.m . Went top hill and had darshan of Murugan. The air itself had the divine essence and lot devine stories reeled through mind screen giving magnanimous frame of Murugan the Lord of War. After taking his divine blessing set towards Guruvayoor, Mammiyoor, Vadakkunathan, Parmelkavu.

Vadakkunathan is place where my friend Sreejith did Shayana Prathikshanam for me, before his love and his priceless deed to rescue me from my Prarabdh Karma, nothing can replace.  Vadakkunathan 

temple has lot of tales to tell. After our prayers we set to Kochi for flight to Varnasi via Hyderbad.

When dusk sets in and the moon rises, She starts Her day, protecting Kashi in the tranquility of the night. So goes the story behind the Goddess of the night (Ratri Devata) who is the protector and Kshetra Paalika of Kashi. Ma Varahii grace us to explore Kashi. Reached Varnasi at Night. Aum Namaha Shivay.

Vadakkumnathan to Kashi Vishwanath and Pashupathinath Nepal

It was 2017 June 24th in the land of Kashi, one of a dream for a quite a long time, have come true. Holy Ganges scooped with divine mantras sanctifying my universe within, all emotions getting drenched and could feel the liberation set forth for new journey.

KASHI
Kashi Vishwanath Temple is one of the most famous Hindu temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is located in Varanasi(ancient KASHI), Uttar Pradesh, India. The Temple stands on the western bank of the holy river Ganga and is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, the holiest of Shiva Temples. The main deity is known by the name Shri Vishwanath - Ruler of the Universe. The etymology of the name Vishveshvara is Vishva: Universe, Isha: Lord; Vara: Excellent means Supreme Lord of the Universe the Parabrahman or Parameshwara as its synonyms.

The Temple has been referred to in Hindu scriptures for a very long time as a central part of worship in the Shaiva Philosophy.

 During the religious occasion of Shivratri, Kashi Naresh (King of Kashi) is the chief officiating priest. It is also the 5th richest temple in India.

The actual journey started from Kollur Mookambika. Mother had been always guiding me to the realm of Shiva as she is Shivajnanpradhayani, one who leads you to Shiva. It was a mystic start to my divine journey which turned my life and made sense to my 25 years of spiritual exploration. All started with Agasthya mantra and connections to Lalitha Sahsranama through Sheefechi a true divine mother. And chanting of Gayathri for 13 years and till now had opened many doors but things started gearing up after Lalitha Sahsra Namah - LSN chanting. Getting Srividya initiation from V.Ravi Guru gave new dimension in 2015. Within months I had 2 Mahamerus in my house one I purchased and other one I just accompanied to buy an ordered Golden Mahameru and in the end, I had to carry it and was to pay later to save one omy of friend's changing mind.

But this entry of Meru had tales where at one end the wealth and connections it brought and tales of the low tide which has been recovered half and sure to full-blown move for the crest. Well, now its time for gathering all data for permutation and combination. The result being Sudeeyam where masters of universe meet and guide us to light and we say Tamasoma Jyothir Gamaya ...... Thanks to all wonderful Souls who have been in my past life and this life to power up my visions and lead n share knowledge to liberate. In subtle Masters were guiding for this magic journey.
