TirumalTirupathi
Nalini's sister, VijayaLakshmi 's SupriyaPrem, working in Pheonix, U .S. planned for visit to famous BhooKalisa Venkateshwara Temple at TirumalaTirupathi.
As she included us also, and booked for Lord Venkateshwara Darshan on 24th Nov. 1 pm slot. We (Me, Nalini, VijayaLakshmi and Supriya ) started of from our house, BirthiMane, Bengaluru early morning 4.30 with Raghu (Nalini's relation) in the taxi.
After having breakfast at some hotel, we reached Tirumala Udupi Mutt at 11.30 am.
Having checked in at the mutt for night's stay, I went for Darshan Token for senior citizen and got a token for 3 pm visit. They went for special darshan (Rs 300/-) I had nice lunch at Uttaradi Mutt.
I reached for Darshan for seniors at 3.00 pm and unfortunately entrance was closed and I couldn't go for Darshan at that time.
As another option of availing token darshan at 7.00pm , free tokens were taken with presentation of aadhar card, and joined the long queue walking almost 2 km between the rods and finally reached the enclosures for waiting pilgrims. After waiting there with thousands of other devotees for couple of hours, and again going in the line for an hour, we reach our destination at 10.30 pm and had the darshan of Deity Lord Venkateshwara.
It's amazing that once you see the deity for 10 seconds, you feel all your trauma reaching place disappears and it's really energizing the whole system. One can't stop thinking there is mighty power that attracts lakhs of devotees everyday for blessings from Lord Venkateshwara. no matter what is the hurdles of reaching the place.
We reached the room at 11.30pm and rested for the day.
Next morning, started early at 5am, came down the hill to Tirupathi and visited Padmavathi temple and Sri GovindRaja Swamy Temple (where you see the reclining Venkateshwara).
As it was time for pooja and Managalarathi, both the places, we had to wait for darshan for an hour.
We left Tirupathi at 10.30am and had lunch at Saravana Bhavana at MulaBagilu,
and also visited Ravi-Vidya at their Salapuria Sattva, Celesta apartment at K R Puram.
We reached home by 5.30pm after having a pleasant trip.
