I would reveal the secret behind the zestful flavor of our (my mom's and mine) successful trip. My mom enthusiastically completed her "Angapradharshanam" in this visit. It is a "2 decade old vendudhal" !! Even though I was a bit scared (concerned about my mom's health), she completed the same within fraction of minutes and emerged successful. This is the first reason for me to treasure this visit.
The second and most important one is that of my mom's desire getting fulfilled!! She decorated the Annan Kovil Praagaram and the road with her well sketched Kolam when Annan Perumal started his journey from the Kovil once the Paasurams got over. My mom keyed in my "inspirational spot" with her natural endowments.
(Unable to attach the kolam)On a brighter note, I felt the grace of Almighty on me when I was allowed to click a snap of "Muthangi Sevai" of "Annan Perumal" and "Alamelu Thaayar" in her beautifully decorated attire when inside the "Sannidhanam" itself !!!!!!!!
(Again unable to attach the divine snaps that I treasured 
)(Pl
reg the attachments or copy paste work)I hope I took you to where I wanted to with my short insight into what we relished???!!!!! Let me see whether I had ??!!

| | Ramya, A divine blog full of genuine, spiritual zest! I love such topics. In my husband's native village, Rengasamudram, Garuda Sevai is an eagerly awaited festival. Both a religious and social event. And Garudazhwar is always inspiring in His soaring majesty and humility. Like your blogs and posts all over IL. |

| | Dear most Vidya ma'am, Thank you so much for you had lavishly praised me(for just a drop in the ocean that I had searched so far in our beautifully knitted community, nay, family) !! I accept it whole heartedly with a gentle "bowing down" !! :) Its nice that you had pointed out on your husband's natives' festivity. Very true. The Garudazhwar really captures our attention and its all that we can relish for a few days in a year and keep within us the lingering memories, until the Perumals are ready for their "next" Thiruveedhi walk !! Thank you very much once again. Hope you have time to visit my thread which is the fore-runner of this blog. Regards RamyaVaradharajan |
