Porur - Siva Veera Aanjaneyar

Sri seetha lakshmana bharatha chathrukuna hanumath sametha
sri ramachandra swami parabrahmane namaha
sri anjaneya swami parabrahmane namaha!


praying to the lord of braveness to shower strength so that we can face all ups and downs in life head on.  Yaayuputra has always been kind enough to provide all his devotees with huge amount of courage and here in Porur he is bound to bless that in abundance being Veera Aanjaneyar.

The deity here is believed to have been erected by Vyasaraayar. Entrance to the temple have huge potraits depicting the history of the lord's existence here. All types of lamps lit in the temple are sold just near the main entrance. Agals (mud lamp) with oil, ghee, ellu and butter for aanjaneyar are available ranging Rs. 2 to Rs.5 each.

The main deity Anjaneya's praharam is quiet small for people are let into this area in batches only during peak timings like Saturdays. Trishnam is given once you have worshoppied the lord. This temple is surprisingly is the home of many  other deities. Selva Vinayagar comes first followed by Ayyappan and Hayagreevar. Next comes Ranganathar and   Sivan darshans that too in pallikonda postures. Gayathri, Durga, Balamurugan and Bairavar complete the list of deities here.

When you try to step out of the temple, prasadam's are given to all devotees round the clock. It happenned to be the September - navaratri time so outside the temple a stage hosting bhajans by pretty girl children enhanced our whole experience.

Coming away from the stage we happened to see the temple tank. Once could observe this requires a lot of maintanence. Overall it was a worthy devotional worship of God Maruthi.

The temple is very near to the main road from porur which eventually leads to poonamalee. We have to take the right before the Porur signal to get to this temple.

Om Veera Aanchaneya Namaha!

Anjaneyar Temple - Gerugambakkam, Porur

 Very recently we came to know about the Anjaneyar temple built by actor Arjun is at Gerugambakkam. On a Sunday evening we drove towards this place. We need to detour from the Kundrathur main road to reach this temple and from then on we need to face a rough and patchy road. In just 5 minutes one can reach the temple. A small residential street leads to the temple. Very near it one could see few small stalls mushroomed up to sell pooja items. The vehicles have to be parked in the street near the temple gates. First is the corridor were few trees are seen.  On taking left is the entrance to the temple and you can see the Lord Anjaneyar much ahead. Here too are few trees uniformly spaced out. There is a coconut farm adjacent to this temple. There is a shelter above Lord Anjaneyar, but for that it is a open air temple. Facing Lord Anjaneyar and to the left and right corner are two shrines - one for Lord Ganesh and the other for Lord Anjaneyar's - Lord Rama, Lord Lakshmana and God...

Beach - Marakkanam

Born in the coastal area one realises the beauty of the beach only in instances where you have to stay away from your place for a long time or a person from non-coastal area appreciates the beach and call you lucky for coastal nativity. When Tsunami occurred, we are sure no one wanted to live in a coastal region. Having said that, over the weekend we went on a drive while resulted in experiencing the beach, back waters and the canal in Marakanam, roughly 120 kms from Chennai and 20 kms from Puducherry. Suddenly on a Saturday morning we decided to make a short trip to Marakanam where our friend has a farm house and called us in for a visit. After completing the weekend chores and a quick lunch, we started the drive towards Marakanam. We took the Chennai by-pass route to Vandaloor and then to ECR, crossing Mahabalipuram to reach the small town of Marakanam within 2 hrs. Numerous prawn Hatcheries in this place occupy the seashore. There seems to be around 53  Hatcheries in this stretc...

Dhandayuthapani Temple - Nadupalani

 Nadu Palani Murugan Temple - Achirupakkam  On a Saturday we decided to go out on a short trip and zeroed-in on Nadu Palani Murugan Temple. Less than 100 kms from Chennai, this was a long time item in the bucket list.  Achirupakkam town is where this temple is located. Achirupakkam is near Melmaruvathur. We took the Chengalpet route via Tambaram. Driving through Chromepet, Tambaram and Perungalathur was a mayhem on the Saturday afternoon traffic. We took a break at Manoj Bhavan at Mamandur. Hotel has lost the earlier charm and so was the food. As guided by a person near the hotel, just in 15 kms you can see an arch at the left side on the highway itself for Nadu Palani Murugan temple. From the arch, one has to drive into the village for 6-7 kms to reach the temple, at Perukkarani village. We had to take a ticket of Rs.50 to drive in the car to the small hillock. Around 100 steps, its a easy climb too. At the foot hill are Lord Anjaneyar and Lord Idumban on either sides fo...
