A trip to Guruvayur – Truly Unforgettable!
Sounds cliched? After all, every trip for all the travellers will turn out to be an unforgettable experience. But… this is certainly not one of them.
To begin with, after a not so materialistic, spiritual trip there will be feelings of blessings, satisfaction, self-contentment, may be also miracles. But what if there was more in store than what we could possibly think of?
Recently, blessed with an opportunity to attend a Narayaneeyam parayanam at the very place of its birth, in the presence of our Guru (actually Guru parampara). What more can we ask for?
Peace and satisfied with the parayana, as this was the first time, after we completed one cycle of learning from mami. Actually a kind of thaksgiving, from all of my friends. Though they could not be physically present, am sure all of their thoughts on this memorable sunday was at Guruvayur.
Also had the blessing to do samarpan of a small compilation that I thorougly enjoyed writing. Never thought, I could do it at Guruvayur. It was the very indication from Him that it was only His sankalpa and His alone.
The acceptance is His biggest blessing that indicates the learning in store for us. To be One with the absolute and that is all, there is no second!
The atmosphere was palpable due to the Bramotsavam, with the mighty elephant carrying the Lord at the Seeveli amidst the magnificient lighting of the lamps. And then, there He is happy and smiling 🙂
Felt the day was little too long, as we left with mixed feelings, of acceptance, the company of true friends, the motherly affection of the aunty who accompanied us, the bagavatas gathering at the parayana and the noisy crowd all over the town endowed with bakthi. It takes a while to sink in all those and allow the mystery to unravel itself one by one, which is the profound truth!
Surely, this was not one of those so many trips, though blessed with lots of learning, what to do, the mind keeps asking for more! And already awaiting the next visit 🙂
