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...

Mannargudi - Day 2

On the next day at Mannargudi, we had an early start. After having tea through room service we left to the  Rajagopalaswamy temple. The temple gopuram can be seen at a large distance as the from the space was allocated for parking. Early morning we could see only 2 cars before us. After paying the parking fee we went inside the temple. Due to the maintenance work we were devoid of enjoying the beauty of the temple gopurams. We got to see the temple's famous elephant - Sengamalam as soon as we got in. This temple is called as south Dwaraka, there is small Krishna statue inside which we can worship by taking in our hands.  The main deity Lord Vasudevaperumal is seen here along with his cow. Next to his the baby Krishna idol which can we worshipped by devotees for their special prayers. We had a good darshan of the Perumal. Had theertham, jadaari and then walked towards the Goddess. The consort of Lord Rajagopalaswamy is Goddess Sengamala Thaayar. We had a very peaceful...

Gandikota trip - Day 1 - Fort, Gorge

 After much deliberation we decided to take the trip to Gandikota, in Andhra Pradesh's Kadapa district. An adventurous location at 350 kms away from Chennai and in a neighbouring state was a first for us. We decided to do it as a weekend trip, so left Chennai on a Saturday morning. Leaving Chennai at 5:30 AM, we took the Nellore route to Jammalamadugu, the nearest town to Gandikota. Internet said, there is not much stays in Gandikota except the AP government owned one. So we decided to stay in Jammalamadugu and drive up to Gandikota the next day. We had our breakfast at RS Bhavan at Sholavaram. Food and price was recommendable. After this it was continuous drive towards  Jammalamadugu.  Once we crossed over to Andhra Pradesh at Tada it was a easy drive as the roads were reasonably good and there was almost no traffic expect for the patches where we had to navigate through small towns. We were able to reach Jammalamadugu around 12:30pm. When we contacted our local friend, ...
